This is what you can see right before the Monterey exit of southbound 280 - a memorial for Luis Solari, who was shot to death while driving his two kids on a San Francisco freeway:

Look for it the next time you pass the second Alemany.
They’re calling it a cold case now, but the reward is still out there.

As seen yesterday:

Decisions, decisions. After opening your new MOLESKINE, “the legendary notebook of Hemingway, Picasso, and Chatwin,” sort of, you are prompted to put a dollar amount on the value of your precious words:
“As a reward: $ _________________”
My Moleskine notebook just magically appeared in the mail one day, so I don’t know its cost. Maybe $10 or so, that’s a good starting number. But what about when you’ve filled it all up? At that point it could be worth millions. So a safe bet is to update the reward value on a daily basis.
My precious! Click to expand:

After all, you could be the next Hemingway.

Or, in other words, ¿Quién mató a Brian Márquez? That’s the question people are still asking in the Mission District, especially these days, when homicides in the area are up, up up. So much so, that hundreds of marchers, including Supervisor Tom Ammiano and Police Commissioner David Campos had to hold a vigil in an attempt to draw more attention to the situation.
The link to the website with information about Brian’s murder from 2005 is here.
