Around 10,000 years ago, before the Pacific waters had

breached the span now covered by the Golden Gate

Bridge, the history of the Ohlone people native to San

Francisco had already begun. Complex chiefdoms arose

and fell, the scarce remnants of which are the infamous

“shellmounds,” large heaps of piled shells and other

artifacts on the Bay Area’s shores. San Francisco history

continued untouched by Europeans until 1579 when Sir

Francis Drake, the decorated English looter of Spanish

galleons sailed past the entrance to the San Francisco

Bay (locals now know how damp and dense the fog can

be on Ocean Beach in June), dubbed a stretch of Marin

“Nova Albion” and sailed away.

San Francisco history remained devoid of Europeans

until 1775, when the Spanish, long having a stronghold

in Southern California, ventured north on a “Sacred

Expedition” led by Gaspar de Portola. In 1776, the

Spanish founded the Presidio Army Base and the Catho-

lic Church commenced capturing and enslaving the San

Francisco Ohlone population. Later, ranchers grazed

San Francisco’s green hills with cattle and continued

until an upstart nation to the east, the United Stated of

America, set her sights westward to the Pacific’s shining

seas.

Just before the San Francisco 49ers history began, the

United Stated made one of its luckiest aqcuisistions.

On July 9, 1846, a small outpost of wood shacks, Yerba

Buena, founded by an eager Mormon priest, Samuel

Brannan, became an official part of the United States.

Three years later in 1849, James Marshall discovered

gold dust in a Sierra saw mill and San Francisco be-

came the entrance port to the famed “El Dorado,” the

San Francisco in short

legendary land of gold in the West.

Brannan publicized the new gold discovery and soon

San Francisco (later renamed San Francisco after the

Bay) was overrun with “Gold Fever.” In less than a year,

over 50,000 people came to San Francisco looking for

fortune. An outlandish circus of discovery and building,

San Francisco grew up lawless and exuberant. Goods

and investment poured in from the East; the history of

San Francisco 49ers is the beginning of San Francisco’s

modern history.

Just as the Gold boom busted, San Francisco history, in

true San Francisco form, provided a new fire to fuel the

world’s dreamers—silver. The Comstock Lode was dis-

covered in 1858 and San Francisco continued to reap

the benefits of California’s ore wealth.

William Ralston, the Samuel Brannan of his age, envi-

sioned an elite building worthy of San Francisco’s new

status and built the opulent Palace Hotel, the country’s

biggest hotel in 1875.

Today, San Francisco Victorian houses are beloved as

treasures, but when they were originally built as San

Francisco began to move from chaos to order after the

Gold Rush, San Francisco Victorians were the late-

1800s version of suburban sprawl. Today, these histori-

cal San Francisco homes are painted in every shade of

the rainbow and stand as testaments to San Francisco’s

unique history.

San Francisco grew and beautified. San Francisco’s ca-

ble cars changed San Francisco history, displacing the

many poorer inhabitants of Russian Hill and the Finan-

Great food, funny, very camp owner that makes for an extreme San Francisco experience that is not your every day. If he likes you and you’re an open, non homophobic person you will most likely enjoy this immensely. Oth-erwise it can be seen as a character test that you may lose. Check his rules before entering and try to go on a Monday (before 12.30) or you will have to wait in line for sometimes hours.

What a place - yes, it was a long wait, but what fun! The food was delicious and the presentation out of this world. I loved the owner - I would have taken him home with me if I could have! Yes, I will definitely go back again. The portions were VERY ample.

Xolo deserves 4 stars for food quality, ambiance and location and five stars for service. But the tacos are overpriced at $2.95 as were the black beans. And, they could serve a handful of chips or a tortilla to accom-pany the beans.

With the Ghosttown and all its wonderful (and afford-able) ethnic food just a hop skip and a jump away, I will probably not return to Xolo. But that’s OK, because hipsters probably can’t wait to spend their parents’ hard earned money at these over priced eateries.

I really don’t understand all the haters, this is one of the best taquerias in the Bay Area and yes I’ve eaten at most of them. I consider this place reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Their beans and rice are re-ally flavorful and they make a mean camarones taco.

If you are considering going to Xolo for the first time don’t be swayed by the low score, give this place a try and judge for yourself.

While standing on Market Street waiting for the SF Gi-ant’s World Series parade to start, I perused Yelp to find a nearby place for lunch. I found Thirsty Bear nearby and recalled that we had been there years before and really enjoyed it. I submitted a reservation request im-mediately and it was acknowledged, but then I noted that Yelp reported they were closed that day. I tried to call and didn’t get a response. So we headed over there after the parade and found that they were indeed Open. Not sure whether to trust the Open/Closed indicator on Yelp.

We were seated promptly near the bar with a clear view of the large flat panel TV. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers on tap as well as the menu. We were pleased with our beer choices. We all chose the Thirsty Burger, which is made of ground lamb and pork with a tasty sauce. The fries were fresh and crisp. We ordered a second round of beers since we were enjoying watching the remainder of the World Series ceremony and there was no pressure to turn the tables.

It was a perfect way to finish off a fun day of celebrat-ing the Giants win !

I really enjoyed visiting Treasure Island and the Winery. We went there for an event called Wines with Altitude and had an absolute blast.

The view from there is unforgettable which is why it’s quite surprising that I forgot it was there after a few years. It’s a new favorite spot, I highly recommend it if you enjoy wine, beauty, and sloths. Although there are no sloths on the island, I just thought if we had that in common you would enjoy it as much as me, cause obvi-ously we have similar interests.

Nightlife at the Academy of science

California Academy of ScienceGolden Gate Park, 55 Music Concourse Drive

www.calacademy.org/nightlife (415) 379 8000

Every Thursday night, the California Academy of Sci-ences opens its doors from 6-10 p.m. for NightLife, an opportunity for adults to explore the museum in a whole new light. Some of San Francisco’s most popular DJs provide dance music. Enjoy food and cocktails, and mingle with the like-minded while exploring the Academy’s exhibits and aquarium. Each week features provocative science programming and a few surprises.

Schedule: Every Thursday, 6-10 p.m. Admission: NightLife is for patrons age 21 and over; a valid ID is required for entry. $12 for non-member adults, $10 for members.

The Nightlife Events are *the* way to go at the Cal Academy if you’re a grown up. It’s a no brainer-- avoid the throngs of children, their careful but zealous care takers and the ever present tourist factor.In their place, find DJ music, grub on demand, adult beverages and all of the exhibits for your nerdariffic pleasure.

The themes range from funky to creative and out of this world cool, but the evenings at Cal Academy are always a good time. Bring cash, the bar beverages are a bit on the pricey side and will take a few bills if you plan on buying a couple of rounds.

Take the time to see some of the presentations or lis-ten to the special speakers, they are always worth your time and attention.

Biscuits & Blues Bar

Biscuits & Blues401 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

www.biscuitsandblues.com(415) 292 2583

Biscuits and Blues has been voted America’s #1 blues nightclub by the Blues Foundation and the Bay Area Blues Society. It is San Francisco’s home to great live music in an intimate setting, where everyone gets a front row seat!

Biscuits and Blues offers a full service restaurant and premium bar. Award-winning Southern cuisine, Califor-nia wines, micro-brews, and specialty cocktails - all at reasonable prices.

Biscuits and Blues is not for the faint of hearted. It’s a lively, energetic place with good food that is probably not on your diet program. The fried chicken is excellent, as are the jambalaya and biscuits. They have enough wine and beer to please almost anyone’s taste. The noise level can get pretty high, but fortunately the cash-ier passes out free ear plugs on request. Better get a pair your first time. The music varies, of course, depend-ing on who’s playing. If you’re going to the 8:00 show, get a 7:00 dinner reservation so you’ll get a good table.

This is a nice little spot if you want to have drinks and conversations with a group of friends. They have a great selection of beers and a waitress that will come around to take drink orders. They have 6 dart lanes, a pool table, and some board games for you to borrow. You can also borrow darts for a dollar.

I love that they have $1 unlimited popcorn, which is a great snack food to have with your beer. They also have a dart tournament on Tuesdays for $5 entry starting at 8 pm. I believe they also have Trivia night on Sunday night.

I enjoyed their darts section. It was fun. I like that they have a popcorn machine too! I did not get to try their beer really, but what I took a sip of was delicious (I was DD & had work at 5am next day). This place is fun and has lots of gaming options. I’d come back to explore its’ gaming options and beer.

Such a beautiful and intimate venue! I’ve been to two concerts here: Evanescence and Anthony Hamilton and had a great time. During both concerts, I had balcony seating and had a great view. I actually think any seat has a great view. You can order drinks at a reasonable price from the bar and bring it to your seat! Score! It is such an easy venue to get to as there is a ton of park-ing lots around the area and BART is only a block away!

I would’ve rated this place 5 starts but was really put off by a worker at the Anthony Hamilton concert last week. My friends and I were super excited to be there to see the show. We wanted to take a pic of our group before we headed in and asked a worker on the main floor if she could take our pic. She straight up said with a lot of attitude “No-- I’m working.” I was seriously in awe of her response. Really? You cannot even take a pic of us? She just did not exude any form of customer service. She actually put a cloud over my mood for a good 5 minutes until another concert goer was friendly enough to offer.
