I am incredibly excited about the future of San Francisco, and the role @GrowSF is going to continue to play in bringing common sense to the city. We're assembling an all star team: recently we announced Tyler Law (@tyzlaw) is joining us as a Senior Advisor, and David Broockman
An absolutely killer story from @Josh_Koehn on San Francisco's seismic post-election power shift. A must-read for anyone who wants a glimpse at who is deciding SF's future. Who does, and who doesn't, have @DanielLurie's ear? https://t.co/cBApKtZa2u

We asked San Franciscans at the Chinatown Flower Market what they want for SF in 2025: 🚶 More walkable streets 🧼 A cleaner city 💊 Real solutions for the fentanyl crisis The challenges are big, but so is the love for this place. SF still has a spark like nowhere else. 💙

San Francisco streets have seen some wild things—but it’s not always *that* kind of mess. From abandoned drones to a coffin chilling on the sidewalk, here’s the weirdest crap (that’s not actually crap) spotted around the city. 🔗 https://t.co/TKh3hEvRnM

Sure, you’ve sidestepped questionable puddles, but have you ever tripped over a toilet in the street? Only in San Francisco.

This was a spectacular night, and a fun read by our editor @saulsugarman. Looking forward to @sfballet's 2025 season. 🩰 And more parties.💃
.@saulsugarman said: "Sometimes you get tacky prom after parties — but never at SF Ballet...feels like the set of a high-budget Broadway play, bathed in Vegas lights, with a staircase so grand that it screamed for Cher or Dolly Parton to make an entrance.

Who shot these photos? A bag of unprocessed 1960s film unearthed in SF is revealing faces, stories, and moments lost to time. Photographer unknown. Mystery ongoing. Today is the last day to support the project. ✍️ by @le_gipset: https://t.co/cbY7nXEvTt

“Everyone" is doing quality soft serve these days, but at new @CheFicoSF Pizzeria at @ChaseCenter, it's gelato soft serve. Best of all: the vibrant, tart coconut lime sorbetto & lush strawberry gelato on my visit. My @thebolditalic review: https://t.co/6SNAgJ6dFE

San Francisco’s events remind us that joy is still an option—even in a heavy political climate. From ballet galas to Bay to Breakers, 2025 will be loud, messy, and unforgettable. Here’s our survival guide for this year: https://t.co/01SqsXXOWX

Because you might as well escape the madness with glitter, music, and questionable costumes. This is my map to San Francisco’s most unapologetic celebrations.

Any day that starts with a promise of leather, red jockstraps, and antler headbands can only end in peppermint schnapps and shame. And also prove once again that San Francisco knows how to do the holidays better — and weirder — than anywhere else. 🔗: https://t.co/0E4MBWuv6O

Jingle bells, jiggling butts, and holiday hijinks. It’s San Francisco’s sequin-soaked blend of charity and nakedness in the Castro.

Demi Moore, Austin Butler, and Denis Villeneuve lit up SFFILM’s red carpet on Monday, bringing Hollywood to our land of denim and foggy streets. A record $500K raised, big-screen cinema celebrated, and just enough snark (from us) to keep it real. https://t.co/Q5pwUASHwt

San Francisco’s SFFILM Awards Night brought an unexpected dose of star power to our foggy streets.

QBar has risen from the ashes of a devastating fire, and Booty Call Wednesdays made its triumphant return along with it. Packed dance floors, rainbow lights, and nostalgic vibes made Thanksgiving one to blur out with booze—in the best way. 🥂🔗: https://t.co/GhEiWSL1Rv

It’s a homecoming for a party that once defined the midweek in Castro. Juanita More brings queer community and fun back inside the cramped space.

Ted Danson in San Francisco? Yes, but not really. 'A Man On The Inside' features SF as a backdrop, but most of the action unfolds in cozy interiors. It's worth watching for reflections on life’s later chapters, not for sightseeing. Here's our take. 🔗: https://t.co/Xl0DdJITV8

But the Netflix show is still an enjoyable Ted Danson dramedy.

Cyndi Lauper — known for her unique voice, activism, and 80s perms — delivered less of a self-sendoff and more of a Sesame Street variety hour at Chase Center. Did we hate it? No. But the rose-colored reviews on this one need a little comeuppance. 🔗: https://t.co/kBWEyKXzkf

A legend at Chase Center delivers sincerity, silliness, and a show that’s hard to define. Did she stick the landing? Well…

Are you hosting Thanksgiving but hate cooking? Turn your kitchen into a theater of lies. 🔗: https://t.co/Zk3y599spU

Nothing says “chef at work” like a little flour on your shirt. Turn that grocery store dessert into a heartfelt heirloom.
