I was one of the last people allowed into the San Francisco Mexican consulate to vote this afternoon. I cast my ballot at 4:53PM and the doors closed at 4:59PM, with a few hundred people still waiting outside to vote. Some had been waiting for hours.
Things got tense. SF Police came and placed themselves between the consulate door and the attempted voters. Those inside were told we'd have to wait until the situation calmed down. I ended up leaving through the emergency exit leading to the alley.
Real unfortunate situation. A failure at every level.
I randomly wandered into a dumpling shop I’ve never heard of next to SFSU and, well I think I’ve found my favorite xiaolongbao in the city. It’s better than all the more famous ones!!
It’s called Mom Dumpling in park Merced. They make their own dumpling dough AND noodles. The crab and pork xlb is especially good, almost as good as the good ones I’ve had in Taiwan and Shanghai
"...51-year-old billionaire Hamdi Ulukaya (founder and CEO of yogurt maker #Chobani) said he’s reviving the #SanFrancisco brand in an Instagram video posted Friday morning."
San Francisco - where you can see a man walking towards you saying “I’ve never hated a btch more. I wish that btch would die” and not be sure if he is (1) talking to himself; (2) talking to the world; (3) talking to someone on his earbuds hidden by his hoodie. Whichever it is, he’s creepy and I definitely kept my distance until he went by. #sfba#SanFrancisco
There has been a surge in the no of pretty good Korean places in San Francisco. I don’t love going to the west side and I don’t love most of the Korean restaurants there (other than Muguboka). I tend to just pop into Oakland for Korean food.
But now, three pretty good ones near me: Yasijang, Sikdang Woori and Mashita Galbi Jjim
(I like one where you stand in line for an hour, but I’ve never felt like standing in line for an hour.)
In 1849 were people actually told that there was gold in San Francisco or did they know it was another 80 miles away after they got off the boat?
It sure would be a bummer to get all the way to San Francisco (pre-Panama canal) and then realize you had to go another 80+ miles up on the hills to even have a chance.
There’s a part of my soul that deeply needs Chinese bakery bread. My fave in the city is Yummy Bakery, my fave in east bay is Napoleon Super in Oakland Chinatown
A genuinely thick fog is consuming San Francisco -- quite a rare event in these times. I'm standing outside accumulating moisture in my clothes and hair. #sanfrancisco

A bit blurry due to using a 2x converter on a very soft 500mm on a cheap tripod with very bad skill, but still very happy with how it came out. #Photography#SutroTower#SanFrancisco#Moon
