Lee Foster Releases Content from His New Ebook/App “SF Travel & Photo Lee Foster Releases Content from his new ebook/app “SF Travel & Photo Guide” in 10 Clusters, this is Cluster 6 of 10 By Lee Foster (Update Note: My ebook SF Travel & Photo Guide: The Top 100 Travel Experiences in the San Francisco Bay Area has been released for $3.99 on Amazon at http://amzn.to/2qS9QtG. The ebook parallels my app on this subject available for $3.99 from Apple http://apple.co/2ow44IC and Google http://bit.ly/2o9sWKJ. See an announcement of the ebook on my website at http://bit.ly/2qXg8Zf. The app has also been announced on my website. I have answered some questions about the app. The app works on smart phones and tablet devices, but not on laptops or desktops. The ebook can be read on all devices.) I am releasing here the content in this new travel ebook/app in ten alphabetical “clusters.” Each cluster will have 12 sections of the total 120 in the ebook/app. This is alphabetical release 6 of 10. Other clusters released now include:cluster 1 cluster 2 cluster 3 cluster 4 and cluster 5. This release on a website will not have the full functionality of the app structure, including its Google maps showing you contextually all the subjects around you. The ebook version is convenient because you can carry the content around with you in one small package and not require connectivity. The 10 releases on this websites will show the text and photo of all the items, the full “SF A-Z” content listings, but will not be able to present, as the app and ebook do, all subjects in a clickable Table of Contents menu as grouped in an area (such as Embarcadero) or in the themes/subjects (such as Culture/Museums). However, after the 120 subjects are released, I will post the Table of Contents Outline and will post each of the 120 items individually to give a “website ebook” approximation of the app and ebook. These folks havesecure dated voucher tickets, no wait in line and some discounts, for Bus Tours, Boat Tours, Alcatraz, Muir Woods/Sausalito, Attractions/Museums, Wine Country, and more. See theirAll San Francisco Tours. So, here is the sixth release: SF A-Z, Alphabetical cluster 6 of 10: — Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors is the region’s winning basketball team. The team is likely headed from its current home in Oakland at the Oracle Arena to a new home in San Francisco along the Embarcadero. Stay tuned. This would give San Francisco its third major sports team, beside the baseball San Francisco Giants and the football San Francisco 49ers. The Golden State Warriors have a logo on their jersey of the new tower of the east side span of the Bay Bridge, which perhaps symbolically allows them to be a part of San Francisco and a part of the East Bay forever. This could be a wise logo decision so as not to alienate the fans. As anyone who follows sports knows, the Golden State Warriors in 2017 were at the top of their game, winning the national title. We’ll see if that the team becomes a winning dynasty. Your Best Shot: Catching an image of Kevin Durant and Steph Curry in a parade to celebrate a championship is a possibility, but keep in mind that team success is not eternal. Only a couple of years ago sports fans were betting on the 49ers Colin Kaepernick in a similar situation. Your in-person sports experience and possible close-up photos at a game would mean buying a ticket, so what does that cost? At a ticket broker such as StubHub, the price (as I write this) starts at about $90 and runs to $14,000. If You Go: Area: East to Oakland/Berkeley Website: http://www.nba.com/warriors Address: 7000 Oracle Arena Coliseum Way, Oakland, CA 94621 Phone: None Price: $90 and up on StubHub — Google Maps Google Maps and other digital map producers have transformed the way we travel and get our travel information. For the ebook edition, use your phone, tablet, or computer to pull up a Google map. In the app version the maps are an integral part of the product. It is remarkable to think of how different our map situation was just a decade ago. Now we can key in an address on our device, most likely a smartphone, and come up with the exact destination. We can move our fingers in or out to get a closer or a farther out context on a map. We can get directions from our current location to the destination, along with a route, and absorb that information as a written record, a visual path, or a spoken command. On the app version we can see on a map every address as a location, automatically. We can also see the context of what subjects are around the desired destination. This can help us plan. This helps make an app product different from a printed book, an ebook, or a website presentation. The map on our device is also totally compact, requiring no further expense, beyond the potential licensing cost for the software. There is no cost to print and no bulk of a paper product to carry around. The phone is not weighed down or bulked up by maps. Digital maps can also project just how long it will take us to get to our destination and precisely how far away is the destination. As time goes on, it is likely that more and more of our travel information and insight will be enhanced by digital maps from Google and other providers. My hope is that you will have a better travel experience in and around San Francisco due to map capacities. — Gourmet Ghetto Berkeley Alice Waters and her Chez Panisse restaurant remain a presiding spirit over Berkeley’s celebrated Gourmet Ghetto, where I happen to live. Here are my four recommended stops if you want to immerse yourself in this remarkable stretch of Shattuck Ave in Berkeley, especially the block between Cedar and Rose Sts, about six blocks north on Shattuck from the Downtown Berkeley BART station. Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse restaurant (see information below) is in and will remain in a stratosphere all its own. Alice began the restaurant in 1971. The vision behind Chez Panisse has been immensely influential. She helped unleash the triumph of the entire organic and fresh/local effort in America back in the 1970s and 1980s. California, with its gifted climate for year-round growing, was the logical place for this revolution to occur. Today the vision is mainstream, even at your local supermarket. Alice also made a very important business decision at the start. She owns the building. Her restaurant is not vulnerable to a high-rent future. Your Best Shot: A shot of your food in this culinary cathedral is almost a requirement. Chez Panisse lunch prices are more reasonable and the meal is less elaborate than the detailed evening banquets. Lunch occurs upstairs in the restaurant, which is light and airy. You can also wander over to the open kitchen to watch the staff and make a quick, casual photo of these artists at work. Across the street from Chez Panisse, you can plunk down exactly $12.08 of your hard-earned money at Cheese Board Pizza, arguably the most popular restaurant in modern Berkeley, For that amount you will receive a large box with half of a vegetarian pizza, enough for two people. You can also get an inventive salad, which might have “spelt” in it. If you need to Google “spelt” for a Wikipedia explanation, you are in for a delicious new treat. The restaurant is located at 1512 Shattuck (www.cheeseboardcollective.coop/pizza, 510-549-3183). The venue has a cute “parklet” on the street, makes only one kind of veggie pizza every day, usually has live music, and magically attracts a huge patronage. They make about 1,200 pizzas per day. Next door is The Cheese Board Collective (1504 Shattuck, (www.cheeseboardcollective.coop, 510-549-3183). The people inside this establishment love cheese. They are in no hurry to sell you anything. Sample a few cheeses under their expert tutelage. Find something you like, and they’ll custom cut any size portion you wish. A vast collection of worldwide cheeses is sold here, ranging in geographic origin from Europe to California to Wisconsin. Cow, goat, and sheep milk cheeses are available. The knowledgeable palates of the career cheese-sellers make the store one-of-a-kind. Around the corner, the late Dutch coffee enthusiast, Alfred Peet, started his Berkeley “coffee revolution” in 1966. The flagship store is Peet’s Coffee (2124 Vine, www.peets.com/about-us/our-history, 510-841-0564). Visit the special side room display filled with coffee-milestone memorabilia honoring Peet. Paraphernalia of the coffee roasting, grinding, and serving craft are also shown. It took a few pioneers, such as Peet, to get the notion of quality coffee roasting and fresh grinding into America’s highly caffeinated blood stream. For a more detailed discussion of the Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto, see my write-up at http://bit.ly/28UznGL The information below is for Chez Panisse restaurant. If You Go: Area: East to Oakland/Berkeley Website: http://www.chezpanisse.com Address: 1517 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94709 Phone: 510-549-5525 Price: Moderate to Expensive — Haight Ashbury Haight Ashbury is a place and perhaps also a state of mind that existed and continues to persist on the eastern fringe of Golden Gate Park.

  • Broadway Transit Urban Circulator Study
    Broadway Transit Urban Circulator Study PURPOSE & NEED FRAMEWORK April 30, 2014 version During the planning stages of a transportation project, it is important to outline the problems to be addressed and the goals set by the community, to develop a purpose and need statement for the project. A project need is the transportation deficiency or problem that is identified, and a project purpose is the set of objectives that will be met to address the transportation deficiency or problem. The purpose and need statement documents the problem to be addressed in the alternatives analysis and environmental review process and serves as the basis for the development of project goals, objectives, and evaluation measures. A well-defined purpose and need statement is critical to project planning because it helps define the scope of a project, guide the development and consideration of alternatives, identify potential environmental mitigation measures, provide legally defensible transportation and environmental decisions, and justify projects for programming. Though refinements may occur during future study, the purpose and need serves as an analytical framework for the project as it moves forward. Statement of Need The Broadway Corridor is a multimodal, well-travelled corridor within the city of Oakland stretching from Jack London Square to Interstate 580 (I-580). Two regional transit providers serve the corridor: Alameda – Contra Costa (AC) Transit, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART). These services provide mobility for residents of Oakland, communities throughout the East Bay and beyond. Thousands of trips pass through the city of Oakland daily along this corridor. The corridor spans several neighborhoods such as Jack London Square, Old Oakland, City Center, Lake Merritt, Uptown, Koreatown/ Northgate, Valdez Triangle, Piedmont Avenue, Mid-Broadway, and the Kaiser and Alta Bates Medical Centers.

  • Item 9A Informational Presentation on SWL 351 Development Criteria
    MEMORANDUM May 22, 2008 TO: MEMBERS, PORT COMMISSION Hon. Kimberly Brandon, President Hon. Rodney Fong Vice President Hon. Ann Lazarus Hon. Michael Hardeman Hon. Stephanie Shakofsky FROM: Monique A. Moyer Executive Director SUBJECT: Informational Presentation on Development Criteria for SWL 351 (The Embarcadero at Washington Street) DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: Discussion Item, No Action Requested EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Seawall Lot 351 (“SWL 351”) is one of the development opportunities in San Francisco created by removal of the Embarcadero Freeway after the 1989 earthquake. The parcel is a nearly triangular site with a 358-foot frontage along The Embarcadero Roadway with a mere 26-foot frontage on Washington Street. (See Exhibit A, Site Map.) In the context of San Francisco, this 27,937 square foot lot has potential for effective development. At its December 11, 2007 meeting, the Port Commission received an informational presentation by San Francisco Waterfront Partners II, LLC (“SFWP”) of its proposed 8 Washington project, a mixed-use condominium development.1 The proposed project site, as currently conceived, includes a privately owned 2.5 acre property within the Golden Gateway area and the adjacent Port-owned SWL 351 located at Washington Street and The Embarcadero. This unsolicited development proposal has raised questions about the Port’s long-term land use and development plans for SWL 351. The Port’s Waterfront Land Use Plan (“Waterfront Plan”) identifies development parameters and acceptable land uses for SWL 351 and also notes the 1 The Port has not responded to SFWP’s proposal; rather the Port is engaging in a public process before considering any land transaction involving SWL 351.

    A „SZŐKE TISZA” MEGMENTÉSÉNEK LEHETŐSÉGEI Tájékoztató Szentistványi Istvánnak, a szegedi Városkép- és Környezetvédelmi Bizottság elnökének Összeállította: Dr. Balogh Tamás © 2012.03.27. TIT – Hajózástörténeti, -Modellező és Hagyományőrző Egyesület 2 TÁJÉKOZTATÓ Szentistványi István, a szegedi Városkép- és Környezetvédelmi Bizottság elnöke részére a SZŐKE TISZA II. termesgőzössel kapcsolatban 2012. március 27-én Szentistványi István a szegedi Városkép- és Környezetvédelmi Bizottság elnöke e-mailben kért tájékoztatást Dr. Balogh Tamástól a TIT – Hajózástörténeti, -Modellező és Hagyományőrző Egyesület elnökétől a SZŐKE TISZA II. termesgőzössel kapcsolatban, hogy tájékozódjon a hajó megmentésének lehetőségéről – „akár jelentősebb anyagi ráfordítással, esetleges városi összefogással is”. A megkeresésre az alábbi tájékoztatást adom: A hajó 2012. február 26-án süllyedt el. Azt követően egyesületünk honlapján – egy a hajónak szentelt tematikus aloldalon – rendszeresen tettük közzé a hajóra és a mentésére vonatkozó információkat, képeket, videókat (http://hajosnep.hu/#!/lapok/lap/szoke-tisza-karmentes), amelyekből szinte napi ütemezésben nyomon követhetők a február 26-március 18 között történt események. A honlapon elérhető információkat nem kívánom itt megismételni. Egyebekben a hajó jelentőségéről és az esetleges városi véleménynyilvánítás elősegítésére az alábbiakat tartom szükségesnek kiemelni: I) A hajó jelentősége: Bár a Kulturális Örökségvédelmi Hivatal előtt jelenleg zajlik a hajó örökségi védelembe vételére irányuló eljárás (a hajó örökségi
