Where’s Sunnyside? It’s one of the city’s hidden gem neighborhoods, rubbing up against City College and Ocean Ave. Of course, we have a little adventure for you thefrisc.com/this-sf-adve...
This SF Adventure Has Rare Architecture, Soaring Public Art, and No Tourists in Sight
Ramble around this sleepy neighborhood for steep delights, a weird octagon, and rejuvenated green space. Diego Rivera will be back soon too.

Heyo! I have just arrived in front of Zellerbach Hall at the University of California, #Berkeley where hundreds of people have gathered to protest Turning Point USA's final your stop tonight.
An arrest of some sort is happening it appears. No idea why. The crowd is irate.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
