I took my dog for a walk at Golden Gate Park today and stopped by the Blue Heron Lake Boat House to buy a drink. I looked at the T-shirts and was struck by how boring and indistinctive “Blue Heron” Lake is. How – and more importantly, why – does an iconic San Francisco landmark have such a generic name?
In January 2025, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) began construction to modernize the Richmond District’s water and sewer infrastructure along Geary Boulevard from 32nd Avenue to Stanyan Street.

Kristen Tièche walks into Le Café du Soleil, a French bistro in the Lower Haight, clutching her dog, Zizou. She rode her bike from her Inner Richmond home. It is mid-afternoon. As she places a glass of white wine, accompanied by a glass of water, at a window table, she mentions that her day is tighter than she realized, having already spent time at a volunteer garden, followed by a shower.

Before Proposition K was on the ballot, another westside promenade stirred fervor in westsiders. Three years ago, in April of 2022, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors established a permanently car-free John F. Kennedy (JFK) Drive in Golden Gate Park, after voters voted to keep JFK walkable, as it was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and most weekends out of the year before that. Five years later, it is difficult to imagine that the mile-and-a-half stretch was once one of the City’s major arteries for cars.
Hokkaido Sashimi Marketplace has become my go-to for casual sushi. The fish marketplace is a local favorite. The fish is some of the freshest in the City, and it is the perfect spot for a meal on the go. The quality of fish versus the low price point is quite a deal for San Francisco! Inside the shop, you’ll find nigiri boxes, sashimi plates of fatty tuna, poke bowls and plenty of cut rolls – all under $20 each. For two, I recommend picking up a couple of boxes and a couple of miso soups. When checking out, make sure you peek and see if they still have the spam musubi in stock – it always goes fast!
