I've been to the Potrero safeway a few times recently - seems like their shopping cart theft is resolved.

I stopped going to the potrero safeway for awhile because it was so difficult to get a shopping cart there. I also have cut back on shopping at safeway because shit's expensive. But I went there a few times recently, and there are ample shopping carts. Shopping carts in the parking lot, and in the store! In the past, I would get so frustrated going there and having multiple people hunting for a cart, or being escorted out to my car by an employee so the cart would get promptly returned. I used to drive down to Excelsior safeway a few times because I knew they had shopping carts.

Who has better bike infrastructure and bike culture? Lake Tahoe or San Francisco?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19343572 > I spent some time in Lake Tahoe this summer, mostly South Lake Tahoe, and there were so many cyclists. It was such a joy (admittedly I was on vacation) There were many designated multi use paths for walking/cycling/scooters, in addition to bike lanes on the street. It felt safe enough that I could park my bike in front of any restaurant and eat without worry that someone would steal my bike, which was a big plus. There were even some touristy spots where they would encourage people to park there bikes without locks, which was surreal for me. It seemed like many people that live there own 4 wheel drive, large vehicles, but also own bicycles and made use of them during the warmer parts of the year. It felt like they figured out how to make cycling and other forms of transportation work well for their city. > > In San Francisco, I can commute with my bicycle year round, except for heavy rain, which then I can easily take a train or bus (or drive but why bother). San Francisco has green painted lanes on the street, designated bike lanes, and areas for bike friendly rides, like the Embarcadero's multi use path, car free Market St, Golden Gate Park, etc. I still don't feel comfortable street parking my bike in most parts of the city unless I'm being quick. I do use BikeLink Parking whenever possible since it's the best and offers me peace of mind. I find myself biking to areas with BikeLink parking available instead of somewhere closer without it. I know some cafes that allow me to bring my bike on to the patio, so I can make it work for many things. > > Which city has a stronger bike culture? and bike infrastructure? I think SF would benefit from more multi use paths like they have in South Lake Tahoe, but are they mostly a benefit mostly for tourists and not commuting? I wish SF had safer bicycle parking, since it is such a wonderful way to commute around the city. South Lake Tahoe was a little hot, and SF always has the best weather, so it's easier to ride in the sunshine.

After years of feuding, the Giants have made peace with San Francisco’s seagulls https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/giants-oracle-park-stadium-seagulls-19659401.php

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/19787296 > Archive link: https://archive.ph/H0jBD > > > "As the ninth inning drew to a close at San Francisco’s Oracle Park on a recent afternoon, the mood in the stands was dour — the Giants were losing to the White Sox. But in the skies above the stadium, the real game was just getting started. > > California and Western gulls glided overhead, scouting the bleachers for garlic fries and ketchup-smeared hot dog buns. The gulls soared steadily by the dozens as the bleachers emptied. Soon, the birds were left alone to engulf any leftover food they could find."

Mitchell's Ice Cream cakes no longer offer have cake, just ice cream

The cake is still good. I don't think there are any other ice cream cake vendors in the city besides Mitchell's. I do like ice cream cake with cake on the bottom though. They are a small business so I assume it's a cost thing.
