Turns out the old Bay Bridge is still good for something after all! Photographers’ Blog tells us all about it:

While at a wedding rehearsal last week, I received a call from my editor to cover Urban Shield, a large-scale, 48-hour preparedness exercise for first responders. With participants and observers attending from various states and countries, Urban Shield is in a sense the Super Bowl of preparedness exercise.

I knew I wanted to document the event when I heard that parts of it will be held at the recently closed eastern span of the former San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

Read on for the full story and lots more pics.

Quite a racket when we stumbled out of Balançoire after Haçeteria last night at 2AM:

Surely it’ll be a match made in heaven! And in addition to an all-star cast of Haç family faves, they’ve got Sapphire Slows coming all the way from Japan!

Tokyo-based singer/producer Sapphire Slows makes has been making dreamy, dancy electronic music for the past few years. Her album “Allegoria” comes out on Not Not Fun on November 5th. Check out her newest track off that album, “Rules”, to get a preview of her sound.

Eater SF reports:

In an interesting move, Mission Chinese Food’s own Danny Bowien is following up his NYC Mission Chinese Food outpost with a Mexican restaurant to be called Mission Cantina. Despite the name, it won’t be a taqueria, and no Mission-style burritos are planned: the restaurant will serve dishes inspired by Bowien’s travels to Mexico City, with rotisserie-grilled items and shareable plates.

Cool name, though. Read on.

The Market Street Railway blog breaks the news:

As our members learned first in their exclusive newsletter, Inside Track, Market Street Railway has acquired for Muni a second boat tram. We’ll have much more to say about this here in a few days, but for now, we just want to thank Michael Thoresen, the most generous donor who made the acquisition possible through the Thoresen Foundation, and FedEx Trade Networks, which arranged and helped underwrite the shipping of the tram from England to San Francisco.

Now that we have two, can we race ‘em?
