Expect considerable chuckling in the galleries of the Contemporary Jewish Museum while the current exhibit of New Yorker cartoonish Roz Chast is on display. Her neurotic, hapless characters are perfectly matched with her nervous drawing style. The show runs through September 3 and includes comically on-target insights on the issues of aging. Seniors $12.

Thinking SFMOMA is the hottest new museum around? Wrong. Over at 3400 Broadway in Oakland you’ll find the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment,ie. themade.

Yes, children on their way to school still step around sleeping drunks but, like everywhere in town those trendy techies are taking over. This was once a country village, then a gaudy entertainment center with great Deco-era buildings before it […]
