Love it and Leave it
Owning a car in San Francisco is exceedingly expensive. Even if the car is paid off, there are myriad costs involved including auto insurance, gas and maintenance. Add in the interminable search for parking every day, and personal car ownership becomes entirely too taxing. Car sharing offers the option of reserving well-maintained, newer cars for anywhere from half an hour to days at a time, gasoline and insurance included.

Once Upon a Cemetery
At one point there were roughly 6,000 bodies buried in the Mission Dolores cemetery, many of them Ohlone and Miwok peoples. Eventually, the cemetery (which is one of only two still within San Francisco’s city limits) was reduced to a quarter of its original size due to neighborhood development. While some bodies were moved to Colma, many unidentified Native American remains were respectfully interred in communal graves. Several prominent early Californians are buried at Mission Dolores including the first governor of California, San Francisco’s first mayor, and America’s first black millionaire.

Dangerously Delicious
The loin of North Atlantic Pufferfish (northern puffer), at $29.95 for a plate of sashimi, is the most expensive and maybe the most intimidating of any Blowfish Sushi offering. Most species of puffers are illegal in the United States because they contain a deadly nerve poison in their internal organs and must be prepared by specially trained chefs to prevent accidental death. But the northern puffer is a non-toxic cousin that shares only the intimidating name, not the potentially fatal attraction.

Christ on the Rise
She is perched atop the San Francisco underground worlds of drag performance and filmmaking. For 10 years she has fostered a loyal cult following with her bawdy on-stage persona and a run of well-received short films. But the future of Peaches Christ and her ultra-talented alter ego, Joshua Grannell, is a storyline yet to unfold. Prompted by his previous cinematic success and a desire to appeal to larger audiences, Grannell is putting the finishing touches on his first feature-length script. Though Peaches has starred in much of his earlier work, she won’t be a part of his newest film venture. So in the midst of his biggest challenge yet, Grannell must now balance his role as underground icon with his appetite for mainstream stardom.
