How did you spend your first Christmas in SF?
Last Day To Get Famous On Muni
See that empty ad space? You can fix that! Photo by Robert B. Livingston
Today is the last day of our “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories” contest, which means: you can get on a bus, point to an ad, and say to your friend/date/random passenger next to you, “Hey, I wrote that.”
We’re celebrating 100 years of Muni by putting a part of your Muni story on a bus ad that will be displayed in the interior of all Muni surface buses. And you only have a few hours to send your stories (tweets too), because we’re closing the contest at 11:59 p.m. today.
Our guest judge is Isaac “Mr. Rad” Fitzgerald, managing editor of The Rumpus (have you subscribed to their Letters In The Mail program yet?), who will help us choose two winners from the pool.
So get your stories in today by using the hashtag #100MuniStories!
Photo Diary: Stickers on Muni Brighten the Ride
Via Heather: “I took this photo on Muni yesterday, as I thought the cute airplane stickers someone placed on the train cheered things up a bit.”
Many Muni rides could use a bit of cheering up, eh?

Feelin’ nostalgic this afternoon. Loving these photos of old Muni buses and light-rails.
MD ladies are gone, and I’m headed to the yard soon for the Giants-Dodgers game. BEAT LA!
Have a good one!
