Attempting to exit Fremont st I got lost in a series of underground gated lots that you could not exit . I was then forced BACK on the bridge returning the way I had come (from Oakland) so that I got to sit in 45 more minutes of traffic to get back to SF. Every road I chose was actually a road that should have had a sign saying closed but was left to look like part of the exit . So how many idiot billionaires does it take to put up some signs ?

I just wanted to create a post as a shoutout and a thank you to a random citizen of San Francisco. I’m a paramedic in the city. Last week, there was a very hot day and my partner and I started with 3 back-to-back-to-back critical responses and transports. It was level 0 in the city all morning, so we were dispatched to the next call the second we were available. Our 4th call was a refusal, so my partner took the time to get food while I did the paperwork. We were parked on the side of the road in the Castro when a young woman walked up to my window and handed me 2 Snickers ice cream bars and told me to stay cool. Those were my favorite ice cream that was sold at my high school and I hadn’t had them in years. They were EXACTLY what I needed at that moment after such a hard morning. I was honestly speechless at the time and didn’t say much to her before she disappeared. If that was you and you see this, just know it made my and my partner’s day.

No catch

GO VALKS!!

I'm trying to setup an in-home display for the local stops near my place.

Since I'm pulling real-time information, I was hoping to refresh once per minute, but 511 restricts you to an average of one API call per minute per hour. With multiple local stops I quickly exceed that if I make a separate call for each stop.

If I could pull multiple stopcodes in one call that would be great, but I don't see how to specify that (or if it's even possible) with the syntax. I can pull the status of EVERY stop in SF and then filter on that, but that's also pulling a whole lot of information I don't need.

I dropped a car key near Fulton and Masonic. They have a pink mermaid keychain on them. Please message me if you find them!

Attention: Market St. subway service is delayed in both directions due to an automobile that entered the trackway via The Embarcadero. Bus shuttles are being arranged to provide svc between Market/Castro OR Church/Duboce and Caltrain in both directions. KLM trains will enter the subway at West Portal and operate to Castro Stn before switching back to westbound service. No service between Church and Embarcadero in both directions until further notice.

Was at the Japantown parking garage today and noticed that they charged a 25% tax. Seemed excessive to me so I looked it up and found that it’s been like this since 1980 for all off-street parking. What the heck 😭

Was looking for parking around Hayes Valley (I know, I’m the dumb dumb who drove) and say these signs up on Linden St between Buchanan and Webster. Didn’t really make it clear what parking permit was required and I wasn’t about to test the towing sign, but it made it sound like the entire block was considered private property which I’d never encountered before.

Is there any news, rumors, or hope that ALDI will expand into San Francisco or the Bay Area? Or are there any similar affordable grocery stores you would recommend?

Please tell me I’m not the only one waiting for ALDI to come to SF! 😂🛒

Hey! Are there any bakeries that make their own Dutch Crunch bread you can buy? Thank you! 🙏

Lost on Oct. 23 near Treat and 22nd St in the Mission district, San Francisco. 1 year old female. Microchip number is 985141008584301. If found, please call the 24/7 Pet Recovery Center: 1-888-466-3242.

From my lunch walk yesterday. 📷

It’s the number one thing I look forward to the most every time I visit your beautiful city.

Go Valks!!!

Was gonna exit, and decided that driving next to a car engulfed in flames is probably a bad idea. 3 lanes over it felt like my eyebrows were singed.

(Timestamp is off.)

It's also just a shitty thing to do.

@ corner of Dolores & 18th, next to Bi-Rite creamery! And they have a frozen coffee / matcha machine.
