Podcasts about Market Street

Dregs One is a lot of things, including a podcast host. In this episode, meet and get to know this prolific AF graffiti writer, hip-hop artist, and Bay historian. Dregs starts us off with the story of his parents. His paternal grandmother was abandoned as a child. Her mother, a Black woman, was raped by a white doctor. She moved to Chicago, where she met Dregs' grandfather, who was from Jamaica and, as Dregs puts, was a player. He, too, left the family, abandoning his grandmother after his dad was born. She tried ways of getting help to raise her son (Dregs' dad, who was 13), but ended up dropping him at an orphanage. Dregs' dad experienced racism in the Catholic orphanage in Chicago where he spent his teen years. Education helped him emerge from that darkness, though. He eventually became a police officer in Chicago, but left that job after experiencing more racism and rampant corruption. After that, his dad went on a spiritual quest that landed him in San Francisco. His parents met in The City, in fact, but we need to share Dregs' mom story. Her family was from Massachusetts. Her dad got into trouble when he was young, but managed to become a chemist. He helped develop the chemical process that went into Polaroid film, in fact. He later served in the Korean War before becoming an anti-war activist. He hosted the Boston Black Panthers in his home, in fact. His mom mostly rejected her white culture, owing to many things, including alcoholism. She hung out with Black folks and listened to Black music. She'd be one of or the only white folks in these circles. She went on her own spiritual journey that also ended up here. It was the Eighties in San Francisco when his parents met. Dregs is their only child, though he has some step-siblings through his dad. He says that despite his parents' turbulent relationship, they provided a nice environment for him to grow up in. Because both parents worked, and because he was effectively an only child, Dregs spent a lot of time alone when he was young. His dad got a master's degree and started counseling AIDS patients in The Castro. His mom worked a pediatric intensive care nurse. Though Dregs and I were both young at the time, we go on a sidebar to talk about how devastating the AIDS epidemic must've been. Dregs was born in the late-Eighties and did most of his growing up in the Nineties and 2000s in the Lakeview. Make no mistake, he says—it was the hood. Although he lived on “the best block of the worst street,” he saw a lot as a kid. His mom often got him out of their neighborhood, boarding the nearby M train to go downtown or to Golden Gate Park. His dad wasn't around a lot, so Dregs spent a lot of time hanging out with his mom. They went to The Mission, Chinatown, The Sunset, all over, really. Around fifth grade or so, when he started riding Muni solo, Dregs also got into comic books. He read a lot. He drew a lot. He played a little bit of sports, mostly pick-up basketball. As a born-and-raised San Franciscan, Dregs rattles off the schools he went to—Jose Ortega, Lakeshore Elementary, A.P. Giannini, and Lincoln. But when Dregs got into some trouble in high school, he was taken out and put back in. It was a turbulent period. He eventually graduated from International Studies Academy (ISA) in Potrero Hill. One of the adults' issues with young Dregs was his graffiti writing. For him, it was a natural extension of drawing. He remembered specific graffiti from roll-downs on Market Street he spotted when he was young. He says he was always attracted to the SF underworld. “It was everywhere you went.” Going back to those Muni trips around town with his mom, he'd look out the windows when they went through the tunnels and see all the graffiti, good art, stuff that he later learned that made SF graffiti well-regarded worldwide. While at A.P. Giannini, a friend of his was a tagger. In ninth grade, Dregs broke his fingers and had a cast. One friend tagged his cast, and it dawned on Dregs—he, too, could have a tag. After his first tagging adventure, Dregs ended up at his friend's house. The guy had two Technics turntables. He was in ninth grade, but his friend was already DJing. Among the music in his buddy's rotation was some local artists. “Whoa, this is San Francisco?” young Dregs asked. His mind was blown and his world was opening up. Check back next week for Part 2 with Dregs One. And look for a bonus episode on the San Francisco Art Book Fair later this week. We recorded this podcast in the Inner Richmond in June 2025.

Galva Mayor Rich Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to recap the June 2, 2025, Galva City Council Meeting.  The water department expects a new truck by July, improving local service. Chief Townsend issued a reminder: burn days remain Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with only yard waste permitted. Large item pickup can be arranged through City Hall or Eagle Enterprises. Hydrant flushing has wrapped up for the season, and two faulty hydrants have been repaired. A grassy lot between Market Street's former vet office and the dentist will soon be offered for sale, with a minimum bid set at $775. Mayor Volkert said, "It would make a good parking space for a business." June 13th marks the next car cruise-in event, starting at 5 PM, with free food available while supplies last. Galva residents are encouraged to participate in the upcoming clean-up week, running from June 16th to June 21st. It's crucial to bring proof of residency when dropping off most items at the city's maintenance yard, located between Preferred Home Health Care and Mary's Family Dining and Lounge. Please note that hazardous waste and yard waste are not accepted, and fees apply for tires and electronics. Elderly and handicapped residents unable to transport items should call City Hall to schedule a single curbside pickup. All items should be on the curb by 7 AM on June 16th for pickup, but please don't place items on the curb more than two days before. Staff will not retrieve items from backyards or inside structures.

Televisions and electronic components will be accepted for a fee at Eagle Enterprises during their normal business hours. Call Eagle Enterprises at 932-2936 if you have any questions. The maintenance yard will have extended hours from June 16th to 19th, from 7 AM to 5 PM, to allow for better convenience for residents.

A proposed amendment to the Texas Constitution that would have denied bail to alleged repeat offenders of certain violent crimes failed in the House. The amendment on Tuesday fell just three votes shy of the 100-vote super majority needed to pass proposed amendments to the constitution.

Send us a textWhat if the definition of Home extended beyond walls and roofs to embrace connection to nature and each other? We explore this question with Newbery medalist Matt de la Peña, author of beloved books like Last Stop on Market Street and Carmela Full of Wishes. Matt opens up about his creative process and how real-life experiences influence his writing. Matt shares how personal anecdotes find their way into his work (think Patchwork with Corrina Luyken). Student questions lead us to explore how the universal magic of picture books can captivate everyone from preschoolers to adults.We deep dive into Love to Home (with Loren Long). Recent events like the fires in Los Angeles or the pandemic can act as disruptors, prompting a reevaluation of what truly constitutes a home. We talk about ways the writing process can take unexpected turns that lead to fresh discoveries and themes like reconnecting with nature.
