It’s not hard to say what makes San Francisco San Francisco; it just might take you awhile. Muni is definitely one of those things, in and of itself. But there is also the revolving cast of characters that make up the drama on wheels that is Muni.
Why? Because, Muni. This week’s Things on Muni is brought to you fellow riders @shereen_ia, @gene_of_sf, @mariazilberman, @lilyofthecity, and @amandaatkins. These and other oddball hilarities await you at the Muni Diaries’s Twitter feed.
Today is this website’s birthday (happy 7th!). Your present can be to like us on Facebook.

Can you hear that crack of the bat? Can you smell the popcorn and hot dogs? Are you even more frustrated riding the N-Judah anytime after 4 p.m. on a weekday?

Those of you who are graphically inclined: We request Muni, AC Transit, SamTrans, and VTA “baseball” cards to add to our collection. Thanks!
If you’re not already familiar with them, one of TransForm’s goals is to ensure that we have a BART system that works. Get more information at the Save BART website.

Hot on the heels of our post yesterday about a guy whose tattoo honors his Muni-driving grandfather, Muni rider Matt sent us the following explanation.
Keeping with the theme of Muni tattoos, here’s another one to add to your collection.
I’m a transplant but fell in love with this city immediately upon moving here. I’ve decided I’ll die here one day. My sleeve is a tribute to the things in the city that played a part in my swooning for SF. The F line is one of the coolest things ever.
It’s not the first F-Market tattoo we’ve seen: This post was about an F-Market tattoo with the words, “The city is my sweetheart” inscribed below the streetcar.
Keep ’em coming, Muni and SF lovers!
This blows me away on so many levels. I’ll just leave it here for you to be blown away by.
“William Ochoa, popular driver of the Municipal Railway’s No. 37-Corbett line, was named the June “Muni Man” of the month yesterday. Ochoa, 49, who holds two safe-driving awards, join the [sic] Muni in 1947″
