San Francisco has a bicycle club called "Fat Cake" that ends every ride at a bakery. @stephenlamphoto.bsky.social & I had to check it out.
The visuals in this are amazing. So were the pastries.

I don't ride over in the West Bay much, but this is great.

I miss the hell out of Product 19. It’s how I got most of my nutrients in my 20s.
So excited about this find!
The Chronicle has some 1907 glass negatives but nothing this clear. The resolution and detail in these 115-year-old images is fantastic.
Pardon my french, but this forecast is fucking absurd.
Parts of San Francisco could legitimately flirt with 90 degrees Monday and Tuesday, which would shatter the March record (87F). The city's earliest 90-degree reading is April 6, same with Oakland, in 1989 and 2016, respectively.
Oh looking forward to reading that!
Did you see Judy Irving’s documentary “Cold Refuge?” Very good. She’s such a total pro.
Super fun read for your Sunday!
We asked the question: How did S.F. homes get so colorful?
The answer was a journey, involving battleship paint, psychedelics and a rainbow home a block from the Painted Ladies. (Which were once zoned for demolition! 🤯)

Don’t miss this Grand Lake video from @jachristian.bsky.social!!
Truly captures the unique beauty and proud Oakland roots of my favorite cinema.

Do not miss this project!
Collaboration between our @sfchronicle.com culture, design, data and development teams to determine the most colorful neighborhood — and block — in San Francisco.
Just a delightful & beautifully designed read.

Glad it came!!
There are weird technical reasons why it might have been blocked. If you blocked another Chronicle newsletter years ago it can create a wall against Total SF.
100 years ago today!!
Happy birthday to my #1 movie palace of all time, my church, my happy place, the Grand Lake Theater.
Looking forward to bringing my grandchildren here.

Nice clean roll! Distributed the impact well!
The key to 35+ athletic endeavors is knowing how to fall. Learning to fall the right way has kept me running full court basketball every week at age 55.
Always read @mingemi.bsky.social!!
Wonderful to see Marisa’s @sfstandard.com debut. Already missing Marisa’s Valkyries & Bay FC coverage.
Did you watch “The Pitt”?
Did the end-of-episode cliffhanger feel familiar?
I dug through the @sfchronicle.com archive & wrote about the ripped from the headlines 1990s Bay Area disaster that apparently inspired the HBO medical drama’s writers.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
Returned to my church.
I’ve never seen “Singin’ in the Rain” in a theater. But mostly want to be around people who love Oakland & love cool old cinemas.
🍿❤️
The Grand Lake Theater is showing free movies all day today!
Happy 100th to an Oakland icon 🍿🎂

“In many ways it’s a time capsule. And it will be here for another 100 years.”
For the Grand Lake’s 100th birthday 🎂🍿 I wrote about a romance between a man and architecture — and how it rescued the best theater in the Bay Area.

So sorry! I had a similar response!
Was told #2 would be worse and I took the day off preemptively. (I never do that!)
It was much better! Like a 4/10 with little or no discomfort as long as I was chilling & watching TV.
I made an unofficial rule a few years ago that every park/downtown/other destination I explore for the @sfchronicle.com I’d arrive by bike & public transit.
I’ve never wished I had a car. And 90% of the time I walk away thinking “That was way easier than I thought it would be.”
❤️❤️❤️

Mannnnn it’s never this warm at night in SF and it’s FEBRUARY
I wrote about the return of my favorite S.F. sculpture, and why CCSF is low-key one of the best art museums in the city.
Also, so accessible! One block from Balboa Park @bart.gov and @sfmta.bsky.social stations!

‘What “Whales” fans didn’t realize is that the 11-ton piece had been lost. It was discovered in 1950 during a routine facilities inventory, stashed in a stable where peacocks roamed on the west end of Golden Gate Park’
We're overdue!!
