For those of you who follow the whole debate around street food in SF….the NYTimes has a great article on the debate.
There is also a new website for the San Francisco Cart Project. The debate centers around whether it is unfair to restaurants who have to abide by city rules and whether these carts are taking away their customers. My take? They should stop whining and get carts of their own! Take the food to the people.
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to a wonderfully innovative local street food culture that is growing extremely quickly through its combination of technology and mobile, sustainable, food. The SF Cart Project seeks to complement the research of people interested in starting, or expanding, a street food business of their own by providing a relevant central resource for documents, information and community awareness regarding the often confusing (and occasionally contradictory) process of starting and running a legal mobile food business in the Bay Area.

Been puzzled wondering how they will ever make money? I found this really good presentation on what the future holds for twitter.
The MTA received aproval from the Federal Transit Administration on Thursday to enter into Final Design for the Central Subway project. It will still be almost two years before Muni could receive a full grant for the subway, which is now expected to cost $1.6 billion, with service currently expected to begin in 2018. Find out more.
If you are familiar with the 3rd St. line, you know it goes around the Embarcadero. This new route takes it underground I believe at 4th St, or slightly thereafter. Then to Moscone, Union Square and Chinatown. So if you live in the South East portion of the city, it will be a quick way across town.
A very cool article in the NY Times today. They show you the top 10 DVD rentals for your zip code in the Bay Area.

Check out this trailer. This is along the lines of Blair Witch Project, only this is suppose to be way scarier. Check out the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
Saw this article in Forbes with the strangest homes on the market. The one that is truly ridonc is the bat cave.
You’d be lucky to get a peek at the inside–or even outside–of this cliff-side looker. That’s because the angular, jutting estate is almost completely hidden from the road by its mountainous surrounds, and, like Bruce Wayne’s secret lair, getting inside entails driving through a hidden tunnel and ascending into the home–car and all–on a hydraulic lift.
