		<title>The Best Thing About &#8216;Up in the Air&#8217; Was San Francisco in the Title Sequence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

An effective title sequence can give a film a lot of good will in the mind of the viewer while the filmmaker tries to establish what's necessary to draw folks in. If there was an Oscar category for Best Title Sequence (it has been suggested, and was rejected in 1999), "Up in the Air" would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Possibly the Best Use of San Francisco in a Film, Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Sure, we've got Bullitt, Dirty Harry, Streets of San Francisco, and Trauma. But hot damn, if this isn't the awesomest use of a San Francisco setting for a film sequence I've seen yet...
It's from the 1958 noir, The Lineup, and I challenge you to watch to the end of this 9-minute collection of clips. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow on Mission Street!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

This stuff fell from the sky just a few minutes ago and I'm calling it snow.
You think I'm wrong, but try walking up the stairs from 16th/Mission BART while water is cascading back down, stepping carefully over a whitened sidewalk, and checking the wonder on kids' faces - and then pay heed to this "distinction":

		<title>Albion Brewery &amp; Castle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

In 1870, an enterprising English immigrant to San Francisco built a castle home on top of a secret cavern spring and used its cold, pure water to brew beer.
Albion Porter &#038; Ale Brewery lasted until 1919 when Prohibition forced it to close. It was resurrected in 1928 as Albion Water Company, selling bottled water, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pony Express Turns 150</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Amidst all the furor over the impending USPS apocalypse, we might take a moment to remember that April 3rd is the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express. 
It delivered mail between St. Joseph, Missouri and San Francisco in about 10 days - half the time claimed by stagecoach (it promised 23 days, but was almost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Curbside Brick-Oven Pizza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Our group was already a little ashamed as we were walking to Flour + Water, a pizza joint we'd previously decided was over-rated, with its soggy crust and limited menu (only two kinds of beer? please).
But then, not two blocks from my house, outside Homestead, appears a couple of folks cooking wood-fired pizzas on the [...]]]></description>
