But it only holds 48 guns? Is that enough?
I’ll hold out for the 64-gun model, you know, to keep my “adventure” safe.

West Bay Update: The New Beachside Restaurant (Formerly the C&M Bar) Hasn’t Opened Yet, But It’s Fitting In Already
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011This new old-looking sign is now up, so one can only conclude that the closed C&M Bar is about to reopen as Beachside at 4300 Judah, way out there on 48th Avenue:
See? Looks as if it’s been there forever.
GrubStreet has all the the deets that are to be had at this point.

A Wily Young Woman Wins the Great Longshot Magazine Treasure Hunt up in Sutro Heights
Monday, August 23rd, 2010That Longshot Magazine (formerly 48 Hour Magazine, or something that raised the ire of CBS lawyers) is promoting their weekend in L.A. by giving away $750 today.
They just did it, the treasure has been found, at around 5:40 PM.
Collecting the booty on Palo Alto (“high tree,” the namesake tree is still there, in the background) near Sutro Tower:

“Clue Number One: Look among the smelly invaders and colorful edibles.
Clue Number Two: Beginning Advanced Spanish
Clue Number Three: Approximate elevation 228 meters
Clue Number Four: A Map by Wendy MacNaughton”
Along that vein it went…
Longshot writer Alexis Madrigal points out the hidey-hole after the $750 was found:
How will they top this?
“We’ll unveil a theme and you’ll have 24 hours to produce and submit your work. We’ll take the next 24 to select, edit, design and lay everything out. The end results will be a beautiful glossy paper magazine, delivered right to your old-fashioned mailbox. Don’t like paper? Word. We’re also going to roll out a Website and iPad version over the same weekend. Oh! And we’ll keep the cameras rolling the entire time. There may even be a radio program. We promise it will be insane.”
The Largest Stop Sign in the World is in San Francisco
Friday, October 17th, 2008Can there be any bigger stop sign than the one found at Webster and Bay in San Francisco’s Marina District? This thing is four feet tall and about seven times bigger than a regular sign, so it’s tough to miss.
Get one for yourself, for just $165.
