Barack Obama dined at Quince in San Francisco, one of the Bay Area’s only three-Michelin-star restaurants, on Wednesday evening.

Obama walked into the Jackson Square restaurant around 7 p.m., shortly after Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce; it’s unclear if they dined together.

What a treat!

Went to the @sfchronicle.com archive this a.m. to scan some 1906 earthquake images and retired librarian Bill Van Niekerken & @thebiscuitdan.bsky.social were both there working on separate projects.

(Bill still comes in for freelance work.)

Love a bustling archive!

I had fun working with a disposable camera for my contribution to @sfchronicle.com's famed Top 100 list. I've loved scrolling through the project and seeing how everyone else approached it. Stay tuned next week for the top 50! 🧑‍🍳 bit.ly/4hXmCfx

Love this video of our @bart.gov speedrun — edited by @thebiscuitdan.bsky.social

Who wants to book a transit photoshoot with me?! 👀
OMG love this speedrun portrait from @thebiscuitdan.bsky.social, who could have a great side gig taking professional photos of people on transit.

We saw cows, missed trains, visited 50 stations, covered 131.2 miles of track and sampled three @bart.gov bathrooms. For journalism.

(The cost for the entire trip? $9.90)

Read about the day @thebiscuitdan.bsky.social & I spent without leaving the BART system.

Thank you to the @sfchronicle.com for highlighting one of our many downtown destinations! San Mateo, like many other downtowns, has something for everyone! www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti....
Nostalgia and progress are a tough balance. This Bay Area downtown gets it right
With excellent Mexican food, huge parklets and even a full-time cobbler, San Mateo’s B Street has found the perfect blend of old and new.

Pupusas. Parklets. A working cobbler.

I took a bike & @caltrain.com to B Street in San Mateo for the first time in 35 years and found a little bit of my childhood.

(Plus a bounty of 🇲🇽🇸🇻🇭🇳 food.)
