Bradford Street in Bernal Heights: San Francisco’s Steepest? Some People Think So
Friday, November 16th, 2012The Professional Dog Walkers of Bernal Heights Appear to be Overwhelmed
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009The unlicensed commercial dog walkers of leash-free Bernal Heights appear to be overwhelmed at times. Perhaps each one should have an assistant – that would seem fair. Of course, there’s talk about requiring liability insurance and limiting the number pooches per businessperson, up in Marin.
How many pooches can you Spot? Click to expand, they won’t bite:
Were there any doggies inside this unattended pickup? At least one, anyway.
But don’t give just a four-star rating to your dog walker on the Yelp, as he/she would likely take that as an insult. Five stars are de rigueur, it would seem.
The Sgt. Young SF8 Case is Now the SF1 Case
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009The San Francisco 8 case regarding the death of John Victor Young in 1971 is now 87.5% finished, so only the fate of final defendant Francisco Torres remains undecided. (These legal proceedings seem to get more attention outside of San Francisco County than inside, so the average resident is still probably ignorant of what the term “SF8″ means.)
Will the famous Bernal Hill slogan need to be updated?

It’s not easy getting a handle on things, based on what I’ve read. If the deputy AGs can establish a fingerprint match on a lighter, then what does that, by itself, prove about what Francisco Torres was actually doing on August 29, 1971?

The Giant Sundial of San Francisco’s Hunters Point Ridge
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009Did you know there’s a giant 78-foot long sundial gnomon pointer-thingee jutting up out of the highest part of Bayview / Hunters Point? I didn’t.
But there it is, sitting in Yelp-rated Hilltop Park. This is what it looks like at the top of 275-foot tall Hunters Point Ridge with San Francisco Bay / Estuary in the background.

The More You Know…
2008 Illegal Soapbox Derby atop Bernal Heights Cancelled by SFPD
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Well it was on the Laughing Squid, so everybody knew about the 2008 Illegal Soapbox Derby atop San Francisco’s Bernal Hill. Not to be confused with the recent Red Bull event in Dolores Park last month, the illegal (possibly lacking a permit, and insurance, and…) Bernal Heights soap box derby has pleased one and all for years.
But then word came from from Mission Mission that that Recreation and Parks Rangers and San Francisco Police Department officers would be on hand to shut this mother down.
And so it was.
This racer had to back his rig away from last year’s starting gate, later closed altogether, under orders of an RPD Ranger:
Things were no different at the bottom of the hill, with these SFPD officers giving the bad news to organizers:
Genial sergeant Miller arrived to discuss matters with an organizer and respected neighborhood poobah Todd “First Class” Lappin, but any subsequent soapbox derbying on the hill was disorganized and fleeting:
So there you have it, no soap box today, at least at Bernal Heights Park there wasn’t.
See you next year?

This was the scene inside the Victoria Theatre (rentals available) at last night’s debate hosted by lovely Ivy League lawyer “Sweet” Melissa Griffin, the San Francisco Examiner’s City Hall Examiner.
200-something folks were in da house.
You can’t hide from the Big Board! All the candidates’ opinions on key propositions were posted in high relief for tout le monde to see:
What’s that – you want to hear what everybody has to say? You want to meet the candidates? Here you go.
Oh, you only want to hear from the front runners? Here you go.
Enjoy.
