Maddow: The J-Church Muni line up to the top corner of Dolores Park, at 20th and Church, in San Francisco. And then turning around, for the view.
We love it too, Rach. Read on.

The long-talked-about topic of allowing back-door boarding on Muni buses will become reality as soon as this summer, according to a post on SF Transit Rider Union‘s website.
“SFTRU recognized that all-door boarding will create faster trips for riders, improve reliability, increase fare compliance, and save the agency money,” said Robert Boden, SFTRU board member. “We are pleased that Muni is listening to riders.”
The greatest benefit to Muni riders will be shortened travel times, especially given Muni’s average speed of 8 miles per hour.
We reported on all-door boarding for Muni last in August. Click here to read the rest of SFTRU’s post.
Are you pleased with this decision? Pissed? Share your thoughts in comments, please.
This is so next-level. Clara sent this to us via Twitter. “on the T, one man’s recycling is another man’s treasure.” Indeed.
Other strange cargo spotted on Muni: trampoline, a ladder, and who could forget the GIANT STYROFOAM OMG!?
Saw this on Daily Dish and nearly stood up to applaud.
Are there any ads on Muni that made you feel that way?
@manueldrod wasn’t aware this existed. “I didn’t know crust punks owned smart phones. Sure do stink though. @ West Portal Muni Metro Station.” Now he has proof.
