Win Dinner for Two at Espetus
On my fridge is a poster that says, “San Francisco is for carnivores.” That’s right. Our city is made for the kind of unrepentant carnivore who dreams of a parade of meat on steely skewers and towers of pork sausages bursting out of their casings.
For one lucky Muni Diaries reader, the awesome folks at Scoutmob have a $100 Espetus gift certificate to give away! Sign up for Scoutmob in February and we will pick a random winner at the end of the month.
So sign up for Scoutmob for a chance to win $100 in a meaty gift certificate!
To get to Espetus: take F, J, K, L, M, N, 71, 21, 47, 49
Time for Muni Driver Calendar?
Photo by Jeremy W.
Rider Jeremy W. holds the fate of this driver’s fame in his hands…
I captured this shot of streetcar 1075 turning the corner onto Market Street and then got on at the next stop. I’ve seen this operator out a lot, and he’s seen me with my camera…
The first thing he said was “so you’re taking all these pictures of everyone else, when are you going to get one of me into the Market Street Railway Calendar?”
I had to explain to him that not for lack of effort (that’s why he’s seem me out a lot!) I haven’t gotten one in yet, but I am working hard on my submissions for the 2012 calendar 🙂
He laughed and said, well, keep trying!
The calendar Jeremy’s talking about is open to submissions from anyone. See submission details here.
Photo diary: Poetry amid turmoil
Muni rider David sent us this photo of a queue of 30-Stocktons and 45-Stockton/Unions on Third Street. The buses were held up along with almost all vehicular traffic during last Thursday’s evening rush hour due to a sand spill on the Bay Bridge. I love how the buses’ trolley poles are all pointing in the general direction of the traffic jam.
That’s What We Call No Strings Attached

Here in San Francisco, someone corrected the movie’s advertisement on a Muni shelter to reflect a more accurate reality in which Natalie is like, “No strings attached, ok?” and dude is like, “I just did it with Natalie Portman!”
(Thanks for the photo, Lulu Vision!)
