On Aug. 28, at 6:30 p.m., Ocean Plant located at 800 Great Highway in San Francisco’s Outer
Richmond neighborhood will host an event in support of “The Invisible Mammal,” a new feature

Riding the N-Judah streetcar past 31st Avenue, one can see the seeds of a new beauty salon beginning to bloom where the former Sunset Strip Cafe once stood.
The image is simple: The border of Golden Gate Park and Fulton Street, cars whizzing by. Neighbors and their dogs meander through the scene, telephone wires swing in the breeze; 22nd Avenue stretches out as if to touch the Bay. In the center of the frame stands artist Nathaniel J.

A gram scale sat with its stainless-steel face open on Marni Rosen’s kitchen counter. Numbers flashed, calibrating the small spoonsful of high-fat cooking oil, butter and heavy whipping cream that Rosen prepared. She eyed the ticking digits to their precise tenth decimal, remembering the strict instructions from the Epilepsy Center in a local San Francisco children’s hospital. After a debilitating series of Electrical Status Epilepticus in Sleep (ESES) seizures nine years ago, Zeke, Rosen’s then 4-year-old son, began a meticulous, medically managed ketogenic diet.
In 2010, Mark Brodeth and his family started a family-run establishment on Geary Boulevard in the Richmond District called Lou’s Cafe. For five years, the cafe grew in popularity through word of mouth. Eventually, Brodeth and his family were able to open branch locations in other parts of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
This November, San Franciscans will decide whether a section of the Upper Great Highway becomes an oceanside park or remains a road for cars. It’s important to note we’re only talking about the section between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard, which does not have any on or off ramps for cars.
Many passersby walking along Ninth Avenue in the Inner Sunset find it hard to resist popping their faces into the cardboard cutout of a magician pulling a bunny out of a hat just outside of Misdirections Magic Shop.
The new show “About Place,” opening on Aug. 10 at the de Young Museum, carries an adaptable theme, which could mean any number of things to the 10 Bay Area artists being exhibited.
With the November general election fast approaching, we’ve seen our local elected officials put their focus toward the controversial topic of housing and the City’s zoning laws.
