Denim factory tour, in glorious hi-def

Mission-based world-renowned denim mecca Self Edge may be facing financial troubles thanks to the impending spectre that is Sunday Streets, but they still made time to produce this gorgeous short film about the making of a new run of special denim.

Ever wanted to know how your pants were made? Watch and learn:

Dolores Park overhaul could face delays because somebody doesn’t like the look of the new bathrooms

SFGate reports:

“The curves work,” said Commissioner Ron Miguel, referring to the shape of the fences above the building.

“But then you throw a box inside it, that doesn’t work,” he added, referring to the sharp edges of the building itself.

This might be a minor detail to some, but for project architects Susan Aitken and Aditya Advani, it means the entire project could be delayed.

Good gravy. Read on.

New BART car design unveiled!

We knew the interiors were gonna be bangin’, but I’m completely taken aback by the decision to include a big face on the front of each car.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
