Remembering Donald Hongisto, president of Merritt College and other Peralta campuses

Don moved to San Francisco in 1942 with his parents and younger brother Richard (Dick). He often joked that leaving the frigid cold of northern Minnesota and moving to beautiful San Francisco was one of the best things his parents ever did. Don was an academic student, skipping half a grade after moving to San Francisco. In 1950, he graduated from Polytechnic High School, where he was a yell leader and an editor of the high school newspaper and yearbook.

S.F.'s latest art show covers the city's drains

The small artworks are the calling cards of San Francisco artist DraINvader, who's on a mission to cover sewer drain holes with something worth noticing. "The idea is, every piece solves a real problem while adding something beautiful," he said. For the past several months, DraINvader has been steadily installing his pieces on city sidewalks. Each customized square plate features a 3-D printed image, such as a butterfly, a Day of the Dead skull or Star Wars' R2-D2.

Go to Trisara for leftovers you'll actually look forward to - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

From the onset, this Indian-Nepali restaurant on the border of Union Square and FiDi blends in with all of the other nearby utility spots where office goers grab takeout or tourists make pitstops along a sightseeing route, but Trisara is more special than that. The menu leans heavily Indian -dals, biryanis, and tandoori-with a few Nepali dishes like momos, goat curry, and chow mein thrown in, and the portions suggest the people working here are genuinely invested in overfeeding you.

Block Party on Ellis Street Thursday Night Expected to Draw Large Crowd

Third Thursdays on Ellis, or just "On Ellis," launched first as a pre-Portola block party in September, and the events in October and November, featuring electro DJs Wax Motif and Joel Corry have been pretty lit, as the kids say, with thousands in attendance. The event happens outside the historic John's Grill, and it seems to have caught on with a younger party crowd in a much bigger way than the similar Fridays on Front Street, likely because of the music acts who have been booked and the more rave-y atmosphere.
