    Spooky Season in San Francisco

    Esplicito

    It's hot out but it's still only autumn. San Francisco has been the subject of many movies including some scary ones so let's kick off October with some SF movies based out of SF. I think as a culture, we need to talk more about Interview with a Vampire more anyway.

  • Rotten, Rotten Row

    Rotten, Rotten Row

    SF's shoreline is fake, did you know that? It's all an illusion. Just kidding, it's landfill. Thanks to the Gold Rush, the SF Bay was inundated with old, shitty ships with no where else to go, until Rotten Row came to be. Join me for the world's shortest episode of Sordid SF.

    Mary Ellen Pleasant, a Friend of John Brown

    Mary Ellen Pleasant was a lot of things, but a weak woman wasn't one. Mary Ellen came from the humblest of beginnings in the South during the time of slavery and through ingenuity and hustle, became not only one of the wealthiest women California had ever known, but more importantly the "Mother of civil rights in California".

    San Francisco's Preparedness Day Bombing

    Esplicito

    San Francisco was victim to it's own act of terror back in 1916 right on Market Street. Before the US got involved in World War 1, there was a big movement - a preparedness movement to get the US ready to go engage in combat. Not everyone liked this...and so a plot of direct action unfolded resulting in multiple convictions, acquittals, and a lot of other drama. We're coming out swinging in Season 3 so buckle in and let's get going.
