Horgan: Is this just a coincidence in South San Francisco?
By John Horgan | PUBLISHED: December 13, 2017 at 10:42 pm | UPDATED: December 18, 2017 at 12:20 pm Maybe it’s a coincidence. Maybe not. But the stated financial demand made by an unhappy construction firm that’s suing the South San Francisco Unified School District is almost exactly the same as the amount of money the district has listed as readily available cash. According to the state Department of Education’s website, the district’s 2017-18 budget contains a carryover cash balance of just over $20 million along with a reserve for contingencies of $5 million. That totals about $25 million. Those numbers were officially listed as the current fiscal year began this past summer. That happens to be the same million dollar amount being sought by USS Cal Builders a company that did work for the district some years ago as part of its Measure J construction bond program. That effort has been plagued by a variety of fiscal issues which, at one point, forced … [Read more...] about Horgan: Is this just a coincidence in South San Francisco?
San Francisco Giants Rumors: SF Looking For Outfielder Through Trade, Free Agency
The San Francisco Giants have been one of the most active teams in MLB’s 2017-2018 offseason. After trying to acquire Giancarlo Stanton and successfully completing a trade for Evan Longoria, the team isn’t done trying to add major pieces to its roster. According to the latest rumors, San Francisco is interested in adding an outfielder. That could be either Billy Hamilton of the Cincinnati Reds or free agent J.D. Martinez. Hamilton might be the more likely player to end up wearing a Giants’ uniform. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported Tuesday that San Francisco and Cincinnati were engaging in trade talks regarding Hamilton, continuing conversations that began earlier this month. J.D. Martinez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks hits a two-run home run against the San Francisco Giants during the sixth inning at AT&T Park on Sept. 17, 2017 in San Francisco. Photo: Jason O.

Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven close out 2017 in San Francisco
By Jim Harrington | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group December 27, 2017 at 10:00 am We absolutely dig Camper Van Beethoven, the great indie-rock act responsible for such ’80s gems as “Pictures of Matchstick Men,” “The Day That Lassie Went to the Moon” and, of course, “Take the Skinheads Bowling.” We also adore Cracker, the alt-rock juggernaut behind such 90s classics as “Low,” “Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now),” “Get Off This” and “Euro-Trash Girl.” Thus, not surprisingly, we highly recommend those two acts’ co-headlining tour, which rolls into the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco Dec. 30-31. The busiest man in the house, of course, will be David Lowery, who is a member of both bands. And that’s cool with us, since we’re always in the mood for a double dose of that terrific singer-songwriter-guitarist.

Travelers picked these San Francisco restaurants most often in 2017 (No. 5 is a surprise)
TripAdvisor is out with its list of the 20 San Francisco restaurants visited most often this year by both travelers and locals — and it’s an eclectic mix of the city’s classics, longtime hot spots and casual joints. These eateries are based on decisions by TripAdvisor app users on where to dine, regardless of reviews on the site. “To glean these insights,” a spokeswoman said, “TripAdvisor studied check-ins via smartphone GPS and motion sensors to predict when and where anonymous users are visiting a spot or if they are just passing by.” Coming in at No. 1 was the Yerba Buena location of The Grove, a family-owned comfort-food specialist with four locations in the city. Diners raved about the brunch — especially the benedicts and the rosemary hash browns — and the pastrami sandwich. No. 2 was Town Hall, the popular Howard Street eatery with a regional American menu that leans heavily toward Southern classics, including fried chicken, … [Read more...] about Travelers picked these San Francisco restaurants most often in 2017 (No. 5 is a surprise)
FBI thwarts ex-Marine’s alleged plans to carry out attack in San Francisco on Christmas
The FBI says it thwarted a possible terrorist attack at San Francisco's Pier 39 after arresting an ex-Marine who told undercover agents he wanted to carry out an Islamic State-inspired suicide bombing at the popular tourist destination on Christmas Day. Everitt Aaron Jameson, 26, was charged Friday with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Over nearly two months, Jameson had been corresponding with FBI agents posing as Islamic State affiliates, during which he repeatedly "espoused radical jihadi beliefs" and expressed a desire to conduct a violent attack on San Francisco's Pier 39, according to an FBI complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court. Jameson, a tow-truck driver from Modesto, Calif., about 100 miles east of San Francisco, said he wanted to target Pier 39 because he was familiar with the location and knew it was heavily crowded, the FBI affidavit stated. The pier, known for its sunning sea lions, is among the city's most … [Read more...] about FBI thwarts ex-Marine’s alleged plans to carry out attack in San Francisco on Christmas
