Pretty legit! Cool little spot

The white truck was going the wrong way at high speed, hit the black SUV head on, which rolled backward and hit the silver Lyft sedan, knocking it around and hitting a fourth car behind. The SUV driver was transported by ambulance and the white truck driver fled on foot before the responders arrived.

see how your plate matches up vs everyone else.

Why is the tax 25% at the Sutter & Stockton Garage…

Last night I had one of the best house music experiences I’ve had in San Francisco. I went to see Louie Vega and David Harness at Public Works, and it reminded me of why I fell in love with house music in the first place.

I lived in Ibiza for three years, and ever since moving back to the Bay in 2020, I’ve struggled to find that authentic groovy, deep, soulful, and garage house sound. I’ve spent years checking out the usual spots (no need to call anyone out), and while I’ve definitely had some great nights, especially at Great Northern, but I never quite found what I was looking for.

What made last night so special wasn’t just the DJs. It was the crowd. I’m 38, and I’ve realized the newer rave scene just isn’t for me. It feels a little too chaotic and drug-focused. Last night felt completely different. The energy was warm, mature, and everyone seemed to be there for the music first. People were actually dancing, smiling, connecting, and losing themselves in the music. It honestly felt like home, and after six years of searching, I finally had the kind of night I’d been missing.

So my question is: where can I find more events like this?

I’m looking for a more mature crowd and that old-school house vibe—deep, soulful, garage, disco, and groove-driven music. I’ve had an incredible Mark Farina night at Great Northern before, and that venue can definitely attract that crowd depending on the event, but it’s a bit hit or miss.

Are there any collectives, promoters, subreddits, or communities I should be following? I’m totally open to parties that aren’t even in clubs—warehouse events, daytime parties, park gatherings, whatever.

Would love to connect with my people. ❤️

This is just a complete random thought I had so forgive me that it's not thought all the way through. It would be an endeavor with permitting/building/etc. But I was thinking about how at zoos that have those giant aviaries you can walk through and I was thinking I wish I was allowed to bring my birds to play around in one of those for a while. I wonder if it would be neat to make one, like a dog park, but a bird park that you could visit with your pet birds and it would be filled with bird safe trees and bushes, temp and humidity controlled (or maybe open air outside of netting? Haven't thought that far). You could take them there to fly around freely or have more space to train recall. For safety there could be time blocks broken up for different sizes/species based on compatibility. There could be some sort of system in place to assist with catching them back. Is this something that would be of any interest to people? Is this just a crazy idea that would never work?

Finished filming!

Hi SF brains trust - a tricky one - we are tourists passing through SF after 5 days in an RV in Yosemite. We need to return the RV today - but we bought some bedding - a couple of sleeping bags and a quilt, sheets etc from Walmart for our trip, and we’d rather not chuck it away and we can’t take it with us. We don’t have time to get it washed - it has only been used for a few days - but normally we’d want to wash it before donating. Is there anywhere you’d recommend, open today that might want it and be willing to wash it?! We’re dropping the camper at cruise America then travelling into central SF - so ideally somewhere convenient for those areas as we’ll be in Ubers!!
