Dolores Park, 1870 vs 2020:

@AmericanAir Thank you SO MUCH for your help. You managed to fix what everyone else said was unfixable and have salvaged this (really, really needed) vacation.

[SF_Historian @SF_Historian]

@AmericanAir I don’t understand why you are prioritizing an advertisement for a medical alert service rather than allowing people to connect with one of your agents

[SF_Historian @SF_Historian]

@AmericanAir I sent you a DM. Thank you.

@americanair
What is going on with your booking system right now? i’m trying to talk with an agent and you keep sending me in a loop for a medical alert device!

Yesterday, a chapter closed in transit history when the last Muni "Breda" departed.

Now, it's up to all of us to tell their story. Muni #1534, the last Breda to ever run, will be preserved at our museum. Help us raise $2,000 more to save history!

A gentle reminder that the term "Victorian" for architecture primarily relates to the reign of Queen Victoria, who died in 1901. Using it for a 1917 building that has been greatly altered is off the mark.

@DavidGallagher No, but I'd love to someday.

If you enjoy historic neon signs this is a great story.

@BAERA_WRM I'd love to hear more about how it works.

A terrible precedent for San Francisco. There are more than 200,000 parcels in SF and only 320 are landmarks.

Tech is kind of funny because if you’re wildly successful, the logical end-state of your career is that you start a podcast, maybe launch a tequila brand, and dabble in some angel investing.

Over the last 10 years, there has been no shortage of items used as evidence that "San Francisco is over." But Toronado becoming the vehicle for a cryptocurrency may indeed be a sign of the End Times.

Before there was the Masonic Auditorium there was the home of Robert Sherwood.
