The San Francisco City Attorney's Office secured a roughly $3 million settlement on Friday with online tobacco retailers accused of breaking the city's 2017 flavored tobacco ban. According to the SF Standard, the nicotine companies were accused of going around the ban by selling their flavored products online. In a statement, City Attorney David Chiu said the online retailers - Rogue Holdings, Swisher International, and Northerner Scandinavia - "are not above our San Francisco laws and cannot ship banned products into our city."

This new Cam-highlighting The Castro -will become a permanent part of the Castro Street Cam system in early 2026, revealing the grand opening of the theatre and venue, and allowing anyone in the world to connect to this historic landmark and neighborhood.

Pull back the rickety door inside Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and you'll reveal a tunnel of fast-spinning motorized moths and bats. Turn a few corners to find a classic bedsheet ghost - at first it's unclear whether it's an actor or a sculpture. A few more corners and you might find a curious red-eyed, ghillie-suited woodland creature - a costumed scare actor that is definitely not a sculpture.

Muir Woods National Monument reopened last Thursday and will remain open to the public through Oct. 31. The National Park Service closed the park because of the federal government shutdown that began Oct. 1. Private donations enabled park operations to briefly resume. Must See Tours is one of the businesses that organized the reopening. The San Francisco company is offering daily morning and evening tours at the park.

Jeffrey Lucas, a longtime friend of KitKat, said the "funniest thing" he ever did with KitKat was "teach him Ukrainian." He taught the bodega cat two simple commands: De kit (Where's the cat?) and Kit tam (Cat's over there). Lucas recalled this while sitting at the end of the bar on Tuesday at Delirium, next to Randa's Market, the liquor store that KitKat called home.

The story of the legacy mobility improvements was non-linear and required vision, tenacity, and coordinated implementation. Initial plans for Paris 2024 focused exclusively on bus- and rail-based public transportation. Just two years before the opening ceremony, existing bike routes to the venues were unmarked and dangerous. Local cycling advocacy groups urged Olympic organizers to integrate active transportation into their mobility plans, warning that public transit alone would not be able to handle the anticipated 15 million visitors.

The steam train that's been a beloved attraction inside Tilden Regional Park in the East Bay for seven decades may be on its way out for good. The San Francisco Chronicle reports the private owner of the train is threatening to shut it down if she doesn't get a long-term contract from the East Bay Regional Park District. She's been operating on a month-to-month deal for seven years, which the owner says does not allow for capital improvements.

At around 7:44 p.m., police officers were notified of a stolen vehicle, according to a spokesperson from the police department. Soon after, they attempted to make a traffic stop at 24th and Capp streets. The car then fled and crashed into another car in front of the Napper Tandy bar, just one block away. The two suspects fled from the collision site and the police officers pursued them by foot.

I'm a bit nervous and I'm afraid,

I wish I could sit, but if I do, someone may try to take my place, or think that I'm cutting the line,

Daniel Lurie, who campaigned on revitalizing the city's economy and restoring its global standing, isn't just glad-handing; his presence underscores an overdue détente between City Hall and the startup community, which is currently experiencing an AI-driven renaissance even as the city grapples with pandemic aftershocks. Empty downtown offices and escalating skepticism about tech's impact have strained the relationship, but the AI boom has brought renewed energy - and investment - back to the city.

The result was the San Francisco Ghost Hunt, a 90-minute evening-based walk from Japantown to Pacific Heights that combines local history with staged effects to highlight the literal and figurative spirits of the city. It covers deceased figures like Mary Ellen Pleasant and Gertrude Atherton, as well as the historic Majestic Hotel, where the tour usually ends. Some of this year's October tours conclude with a walkthrough of the Majestic's infamous Room 407, purported home of the specter "Lady Lisa".

As protesters rallied across the bay at Alameda's Coast Guard Island, a coalition of labor, faith and city leaders gathered Thursday on the steps of San Francisco City Hall to denounce President Donald Trump's mobilization of federal immigration agents in the Bay Area and share resources for community members who are at risk. The groups stood against Trump's decision this week to send more than 100 Customs and Border Protection agents to Alameda's Coast Guard base.

The changeover begins mid-November, and it will introduce Nintendo's Winter Collection. It features attire, accessories and more meant to go with the colder weather. Think of beanies, cardigans and blankets. For those who want to cook in style for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, the Nintendo store will also feature items such as oven mitts and recipe organizers. The offerings aren't all Mario and Mushroom Kingdom-themed.

It's a breathtaking and beautifully produced advertisement featuring many of San Francisco's favorite attractions. But ten seconds into the ad, we see that one of the attractions featured is the infamous Bernal Hill swing. The swing is notoriously not legal or permitted, and SF Rec & Parks has been tearing it down for years, only to see some rogue Swing Guy character keep putting up new replacement swings every time.
