i reviewed Metallica in Santa Clara. the past became the present, and our old fears are new. the short: Metallica is still the soundtrack to our apocalypse.

John King’s Ferry Building book is out! I’ve been looking forward to this for years!
I love the kind of history that still breathes in the present - where the lessons are more relevant than ever. John is 👑 in that space.
Order for yourself & your history-loving friends!

Every large city has an iconic building that reveals how today’s city came to be. That’s what led me to write my new book “Portal: San Francisco’s Ferry Building and the Reinvention of American Cities,” published today by @WWNorton (1/6)

SF's wondrous temple of transit remains virtually empty. Read why, and see for yourself why it's such a waste.

NorCal and serial killers. they go together too well. not a good thing. unless you like reading these stories.

The Unabomber. Zodiac. The Golden State Killer. The Doodler.
Serial killers are very hard to catch — if they are caught at all.
Stockton police investigators are facing this daunting challenge now that a serial killer has killed at least 6 people. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

Carl, the alpha male coyote who swaggered for years through San Francisco parks, was killed by a federal sniper last year.
His death may spur a breeding frenzy — and with it, the potential for more encounters with San Francisco parkgoers. trib.al/tt9TPro

San Franciscans are fed up: Roughly a third are looking to leave and a majority say life in the city is worse than when they moved here.
The Chronicle’s @SFNext conducted one of the most comprehensive polls of S.F. residents ever. Here are the results.

Ignore the cynics and snarks. Call it whatever you want. The 5.4 acre park above the Transbay transit center is one of the best things about the San Francisco of 2022, writes @JohnKingSFChron. trib.al/UfNycC6

A harrowing new study finds that the risk of a terrible flood in California, even worse than the Great Flood of 1862 when it rained for 43 days, has intensified amid global warming, sprawling development and wildfires.
