Lake Merced is perhaps one of the best jogging trails in San Francisco along with the Golden Gate Bridge trail. I am lucky to live right next to the lake so I jog this 2.5 – 5 mile path everyday.  The jogging path is big too so you can take your baby with you too. Lake Merced is surrounded b ...

San Francisco is ranked as the second most green city in the US. I can tell that San Francisco would be such a city as most of the city buses are electrically powered, there’s thousands of Chinese people who recycle like crazy, and most importantly, everyone cares about the environment. I see mor ...

Well, starting this september, SF Parking Meter prices are going up in certain places during peak hours.  Which does not make sense to me at all as parking tickets in San Francisco are ridiculous already.  Downtown parking tickets are $50 minimum and now they want to add peak hour price hike?!?

The number of black people in SF jail is increasing while the number of residents are decreasing? Well, that’s according to the Sheriff, but I don’t think you can really do a real comparison or analysis since there are not that many black people that live in San Francisco.

Of course, there’s always In-N-Out and Hooters around the corner at Fisherman’s Wharf. You can find Hooters on 353 Jefferson St here. Now, you have a good number of places to visit at Fisherman’s Wharf you can write down before your next trip to San Francisco. ...
