Despite San Francisco’s typical May gray weather, foggy conditions couldn’t put a damper on Bay to Breakers ’ party atmosphere as thousands of runners, walkers and exhibitionists took to the streets Sunday. The 12-kilometer race, which winds its way through the middle of San Francisco , is only a race for some. Many took a more leisurely approach, weighed down by elaborate costumes and the sloshing of alcoholic beverages in their stomachs. Early risers, who were there for competition and to set personal bests, took off from the starting line at Howard and Main streets at 8 a.m. Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE (Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE) (Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE) For full coverage, see our Bay to Breakers page .

Inside the last liquor store on San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers route
Bay to Breakers is a two-headed beast. There’s the 7.46-mile footrace that draws elite athletes from around the world to wake at dawn and speed across the city, and there’s whatever’s happening outside this liquor store on Divisadero and Fell Street at 10 a.m. A belligerent green M&M cries into her phone while spilling vodka on the sidewalk, as the Pope and Jesus make out nearby. At 8:35 a.m., Colin Bennie won the men’s race, finishing in 35 minutes and 49 seconds. He may go on to run the New York Marathon in the fall, or even compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris. At 10.15 a.m., a naked man in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles body paint nearly fell off the roof of a Queen Anne Victorian while screaming along to “Baby Shark.” Who knows what his future holds. I’m posted up at what may be the epicenter of the madness, outside New Star-Ell Liquor store on Divisadero, around halfway along the race. It’s the last liquor store on the route for those who need to restock on … [Read more...] about Inside the last liquor store on San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers route
Rare outdoor meeting with San Francisco mayor, city board over drug crisis cut short due to protestors
close Video Fox News Flash top headlines for May 24 Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Protesters cut short a rare outdoor meeting of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Tuesday where the board president had planned to question Mayor London Breed on her administration's response to the crisis of brazen open-air drug dealing. Board President Aaron Peskin moved the first part of the board's weekly meeting to a plaza in the troubled Tenderloin neighborhood near City Hall, where rampant dealing and drug use take place. He asked the mayor if she would commit to setting up an emergency operations center and coordinate departments to shut down "public drug dealing" in open sites such as in the plaza within 90 days. But heckling and chants of "no more cops" from the large crowd were so loud that Peskin moved the meeting back to City Hall before the mayor could answer. Breed did not answer Peskin’s question directly after the meeting … [Read more...] about Rare outdoor meeting with San Francisco mayor, city board over drug crisis cut short due to protestors
