This unfinished SFGo sign here on Oak Street will never get turned on, it turns out.

The Forlorn SFGo Electronic Traffic Sign on Oak Street is Not Long For This World
Thursday, October 15th, 2009Gang vs. Gang in the NOPA – Cops, Guns, Arrests Tonight on Hayes Street
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Can’t really say what happened tonight on Hayes Street between Baker and Broderick Streets, but the word on the street is that the SFPD hauled two suspected gang members and their guns off to the hoosegow.
