SF Bay

Who would be insane enough to risk hypothermia in the 53 degree waters of the Bay? You can see a thousand of these nutcases at noon this Saturday during the 2017 Polar Plunge at Aquatic Park in the City. If you are deranged enough to join in the fee is $100. Anyone who changes their mind […]

Bay seniors cross their fingers every 4th of July hoping the summer fog lifts long enough to see the fireworks which get more  spectacular every year.

Bay seniors who are contemplating downsizing might want to visit the USS Pampanito docked in Pier 45 near Fisherman’s Wharf.
