I love this last bit of the first NYT byline from @heatherknight (I also am OK!).

#SanFrancisco

In New York City, speeding has dropped by 73% where speed safety cameras are used. This tool will save lives in California.

@cagovernor @gavinnewsom we are asking you to sign AB645, the speed safety camera bill on your desk.

TY @heatherknight for this coverage: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/us/california-speed-cameras-pedestrians.html

With gratitude to Liz Chavez and George Quiroz for your heroic advocacy after your family's unthinkable loss.

❤️‍🩹 With Aileen in our hearts.

Total SF

A San Francisco culture podcast featuring celebrity guests, non-celebrity guests, personalities from the San Francisco Chronicle and a celebration of Bay Area life. Hosted by culture critic Peter Hartlaub and columnist Heather Knight and recorded on the streets, hilltops, parks and landmarks of San Francisco. The pair's focus on the whimsy and wonder of San Francisco began in 2018 when they rode every bus, train, cable car and street car in the city in one day. They believe in highlighting the eccentric characters, independent bookstores, burger joints and bars that make the bay so great.

Light shows are coming to some of San Francisco’s beloved landmarks

Exclusive: ‘Summer of Awe’ to bring laser lights to some of San Francisco’s biggest landmarks, including Sutro and Coit towers.

@luis_in_brief This analysis took Steven Braitsch hundreds of hours over many months. We have a small, yet fierce investigative team at the Chronicle but they can’t cover every possible investigative story. That’s why when Steven offered to share his data with me, I jumped at the chance.
