At the height of his fame, someone killed chef Masa Kobayashi at his San Francisco home.
sfgate.com/unsolved/artic…
Chef Masa Kobayashi always walked home from work. After dinner service at Masa’s, his eponymous restaurant, he’d help lock up for the night before a 10-minute stroll up Bush Street to his apartment at 1111 Pine. The apartment complex at 11...
On Nov. 13, 1983, he got home around 2 a.m. He waved goodnight to a building manager and headed up to his third-floor flat. Shortly after Kobayashi got home, a tenant called down to building services to report sounds of a possible fight. A view of Masa's, a restaur...

Though it’s revered today as a technology milestone and a pioneer of the World Wide Web, Andrew Roderick describes @FogCam as a student project that started in the university’s instructional technologies department in the fall of 1994 and just never left. Robyn Ollodort, of SFSU's academic technology department, sh
"It was just a little pet project that developed a life of its own," Co-creator Jeff Schwartz said. "People liked it so we kept it going."

But in August of 2019, to the surprise of many, they announced they were going to pull the plug. FogCam looks out from a second story window in the business

California’s high-speed rail system is easily the most ambitious, and controversial, infrastructure project in North America today. California voters narrowly approved the initiative in 2008.
sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
Construction so far has been limited to a 171-mile section through the sparsely populated Central Valley, where California’s High-Speed Rail Authority has spent more than $1.4 billion buying property — a process that has served as a major source of the delays. A construction site in Fres...
Earlier this year, initial plans were approved for two Bay Area segments, one from the Central Valley up to San Jose and another to SF. Rail officials expect to spend roughly $8 billion buying dozens of residential units and more than 100 businesses that stand in the way. A billboard sign promoting ...

If you looked out your front window and saw a squirrel stretched out spread-eagle and motionless on your lawn, you’d likely think it met some untimely end. Really, though, it’s probably just splooting.
sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
With temperatures soaring above 105 degrees in many parts of the Bay Area during this record-breaking heat wave, lots of people have noticed squirrels exhibiting this strange behavior.
Splooting is a reaction to extreme heat. If you’ve got a fur coat and you’re stuck in 107-degree weather, you don’t have a lot of options to cool down. For squirrels and other furry mammals, splooting is one of them. A squirrel splooting on a sidewalk. Courtesy of Lindsay Wil

Images of the billboards have been posted across LA, San Francisco and Texas subreddits over the last week, causing some anger and debate. A billboard located at the ...

The Siren Canteen, a shuttered Bay Area gem in Stinson Beach, is being forced to fend off invaders from Instagram.
sfgate.com/travel/article…
Prior to closing in 2019 for a multiyear renovation, the Siren Canteen was establishing itself as a social hub for Stinson Beach. The beachside grill, built onto the sand and below a lifeguard station, was starting to gain recognition for its menu and unbeatable coastal ambiance. The Siren Canteen offers be...
Three years into its dormancy, the self-described "only beach-side eatery in Marin County" is vulnerable to out-of-towners who discover it's inactive. Instagram influencers' posts attract photographers and trespassers who perpetuate further infringement on the al fresco bistro. The Siren Canteen is under ...Windows inside the Siren Ca...
