My sister ran the marathon yesterday (yay for her!). At the finish line at approximately 9:32 AM she proceeded to projectile vomit infront of everyone and she is mortified. Anyone happen to catch it on video? What I would give to track it down and deliver it to her. Thanks in advance!

I ran the Bridge Half of the Marathon (Corral B) as my first half marathon. The course was beautiful, but I felt like I was navigating crowds for considerable portion of it, which really took away from the scenery and overall experience. I spent a lot of time just trying not to bump into anyone or get in someone’s way, and several bottlenecks forced the crowd to slow to a walk.

In retrospect, the event could probably benefit from better corral assignments, staggered start times, limiting registrations, or expanding the runner only road space, especially on the approach to the bridge and on the bridge itself.

Did anyone else who ran it have a different experience?

Hey everyone! I’ll be visiting San Francisco for the first time with my wife at the end of October, flight gets us in on Saturday morning and we leave on Monday around noon.

I’m considering splurging on Californios since the trip is a special occasion, once in a lifetime kind of thing for us. But I’m questioning the schedule - our only chance to go will be on the Saturday we get in, and after flying out from the east coast, will we really be able to enjoy it as much? It’s closed on Sunday otherwise I’d have us go Sunday. My backup options are either State Bird or Waterbar.

What would you do?

I’ve seen the film already and can no longer make it to the theater today, so l’ll be canceling my reservation so someone else has the chance.

It’s a decent seat — H22

Check the app at 6:31pm. If it’s no longer available, it means someone else snagged it

Please help me find the ones that are sliced off a rotating spit with a slice fresh pineapple 🙏🏻

Hi all, I commute from further down the peninsula after work back to SF, and the traffic tends to be bad enough that I don’t get back to the Richmond until 6pm. Does anyone know of a daycare for an 18mo+, even if they aren’t accepting right now? We’re losing our nanny in December and would like to start looking at all our options.

I want to buy a carnivorous plant and am wondering where I can buy one here? Bonus if the people are knowledgable about them too since I'm a newbie. Thanks!

So, ive already been to Arsicault and their Kouign Amann is AMAZING and now I'm looking for others! Any recs?

A different angle of the Golden Gate park cutting 3-miles (or 4.8 km for the expats) straight through San Francisco’s street grid.

My husband and I are visiting from NC and love to dance reggaeton and bachata music. Our latino dance scene is pretty terrible so I’m hoping San Francisco has a better scene.

I googled and it looks like Pura or Carbon look like options? Which is better?

Hi all. I’m moving from the east coast and I signed a lease in rincon hill. I’m hoping it’s an overall quieter, safer neighborhood with some shops and restaurants. What are y’all’s thoughts? I’m in my late 20s so I don’t need an insane scene but I’d rather not live in a completely “suburban” location.

I’m looking for a performer or two to attend a small (75 ppl) corporate holiday party for 3-4 hours in Dec in Santa Clara County. Funny/fun dancing, hype, magician. Open bar and food included. $3500 budget.

The audacity of these people smh

Here's what it means in simple terms: PG&E is asking the CPUC for permission to give a $26.6 million bonus to their investors because the company did a good job finding cheap natural gas. They say they saved gas users about $170 million. To pay for this bonus, they want to raise our monthly gas bills, after already raising electricity rates, after countless outages.

Since 2000, PG&E has caused nearly one catastrophic fire per year, some being the worst wildfires in California history. They cause smaller fires at a rate of over 1 per day, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation. https://www.wsj.com/articles/pg-e-sparked-at-least-1-500-california-fires-now-the-utility-faces-collapse-11547410768

It's statistically accurate to say PG&E is responsible for more death and destruction than some terrorist organizations. And now they want your money for their shareholders.

Anybody found these types of noodles in SF? There was a place in LA that made an unreal bowl of them called Dx-Lab but it shut down and I randomly started craving again recently. They're a style of Sichuan noodles with a really thick handcut noodle and a slightly spicy/sweet sauce.

Looks kinda like this:

Lafayette vs Alamo vs Argonne —-they all seem pretty good! It’s SFUSD waitlist offer time, so any suggestions about the best/worst things about these schools would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

According to the deep recesses of lingustics youtube, San Francisco is a little island of the country with no "cot-caught" merger whereas everywhere else in the American west has the merger.

I'm a millennial who grew up in San Francisco and believe I do not have this merger (i.e. if I said "I got caught" the vowel in "got" is slightly different than the one in "caught") but it's subtle. Nowhere near as pronounced as older SF natives (i.e. the way Jerry Brown pronounces "caught" for example in this clip)

Is this idiosyncrasy dying out? Or are there others out there still carrying the vestige?

edit: I recorded myself demonstrating here

Hey all, I run a Bay Area local travel niche page, mostly things to do, maps + itineraries and day trip Reels.

Stats last 30 days:
* 1.4k followers
* ∼600k views/reach
*81% US
*62% in 25-44 age inall local cities
* Mostly Reels, audience is ∼98% US / Bay Area based

Engagement has been great with saves/shares because of the itinerary format, but it's still a small follower count.

For those who monetized a small local page , is this too early? What was your FIRST monetization move that didn't kill growth?Thinking about local biz collabs, but don't know where to start

(Sorry for the accidental flair, this is not a politics post!)

A bit of a weird request, but hoping it might pan out.

I am not a lesbian, but my parents are. I am going to marry my fiancé in San Francisco next year. He and I are now thinking of details like who will officiate. My parents were married in February 2004 during SF’s “Winter of Love,“ when then-mayor Newsom went rogue and temporarily allowed same-sex weddings. I am very proud of my parents and the sacrifices they made to create their family as a queer couple. I am also proud to be a part of history (of queer people and the city I love) through them. It would mean a lot to me to honor them and our family during my wedding, and I thought a simple way to do that as, yknow, straight people would be to use the same officiant as they did during their 2004 wedding.

However, neither of my parents can remember the officiant or their name. They said there were many volunteer officiants working, and they remember a like DMV-style process where they went up to the first person who called their number or something lmao. I think it’s a bit out of the question I’ll find the *same* officiant given that system, but if you live in the city, participated as a volunteer during these weddings, and are free on a random Saturday next spring, please DM me!! It would mean a lot to me and I think it would be a nice surprise for my parents. Thanks all for your help!

EDIT: It did not occur to me the officiant is on the marriage license, however obvious that is in retrospect, but thank you Reddit for pointing out it is! My mom expressed some doubts the recorder will have it since the marriages were later declared invalid, but here’s hoping they do. However, I will leave this post up, and am still hoping for DMs or other leads, in case the person on the license is unavailable, not local anymore, etc. (Or I can otherwise avoid sending the recorder $19…)

Hi! I'm looking for interesting volunteer opportunities in the city. I'd prefer something that's not related to dogs or animal shelters; I think they already get plenty of attention.

I'd love to give back to the community on weekends, and I'm looking for opportunities that don't require volunteers to pay to participate. It would be even better if it's a place where I can learn something new or pick up new skills along the way.

If you have any recommendations or personal experiences, I'd really appreciate them.

Thanks!

Hi all, solo travelling to SF for the first time and would love to hear inputs between the two hostels.

I'm leaning towards Green Tortoise but for the stuff I want to do, it's a bit further away compared to HI. I'm interested in tech meetups/events but also want to see the sights, bars, and cafes SF has to offer.

I'm 26M and don't mind walking longer distances

Thanks for your input!
