SoMa’s 111 Minna Gallery Presents ‘Brain-Rattling’ Artworks

San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood, like much of the city, is a picture of disparate details: luxury, innovation and fine dining, shadowed by rampant homelessness, substance abuse and human suffering. It seems appropriate, then, that SoMa’s 111 Minna Gallery is no home to vacuous art. In recent months, gallery owner Michelle Delaney has

If SF is “Transit First”, Why is Western SOMA a Black Hole of Parking Lots?

San Francisco has what’s called a “transit first” policy. This is supposed to mean that public transit, bikes and walking should be prioritized over cars. You can read it right here. Although this is the official policy of the city, you’d never know it from the way some neighborhoods are set

This Stretch of Freeway Was Actually Given a “Most Beautiful Bridge” Award

There is a beautiful bridge in San Francisco. No, not that one, although it is popular. The orange color is distinctive and the higher toll gives it an aura of exclusivity. I’m talking about the beauty at the corner of Brannan Street and 13th Street/Division. The winner of the 1953
