A mugger, a hero and a little old lady. Put those all together and what do you get? If you're in San Francisco, it's a formula for love.

It's no secret that life in a big city is expensive and riddled with cheap futons. But what if you can barely afford an apartment that won’t even fit a frugal futon? Welcome to the millennial cost of living in 2014. » 8/01/14 5:20pm 8/01/14 5:20pm

Last November, the Make a Wish Foundation, with the help of oh EVERYONE, took it upon themselves to transform San Francisco into the city of Gotham so that five-year-old leukemia patient Miles could live his dream of being Batman for a day.

Get drunk and hit the … airport? A San Francisco man reportedly got liquored up and decided to impersonate a Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) agent at San Francisco airport so he could feel up strangers. Who is screening the screeners, guys? » 7/17/14 10:40am 7/17/14 10:40am

These two girls in the upscale Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco are lightyears ahead of America's unenlightened children, who toil over crappy lemonade stands, mixing Country Time powder into a vat of lukewarm water with vague ambition for future riches.

None of us expect public transportation to be a safe haven or the men and women who drive buses bastions of good will.
