The 28 (or, today is not a good day for a bus ride).

I made the mistake of riding the 28 on a day the Bay Bridge was closed.
The 28 runs from Daly City BART to the Golden Gate Bridge along 19th Ave. and the Park Presidio, then heads east, ending at Fort Mason. With the Bay Bridge to the East Bay closed for repairs and new construction [...]

The historic F line through classic San Francisco

When I was 16 years old I came to San Francisco with a friend to stay with my brother and tour the city. We took the F line from downtown to the Castro. We were so enamored by the line – the interesting sights on Market Street, the mystery of where our car would be [...]

Riding the mystery bus – 88 Shuttle

One of the best feelings in the world is managing to catch that bus right before it pulls away. Conversely, missing that bus by seconds is truly one of the worst. As I tried to [...]

I figured the day I was having my car’s transmission looked at was as good a day as any to start this project. I dropped my car off for what was supposed to be a [...]
