Random Vegas  60,000 pounds of shrimp are consumed in Vegas every day.  That's higher than the rest of the United States combined.  TwitPic of the week  The caption read “Nothing is the same” and I tried to challenge that but @Vegas_Visual is right. In this week's winner, taking in 1991, a view from the front of the Mirage looking south and everything in this picture is different now. No more Mirage, Nob Hill to the left is now Casino Royal, next up is Harrah's back when it had a boat motif. Beyond that is Imperial Palace known today at the LINQ and in the distance, you can still see the Diamond of the Dunes hotel tower. Even the top of the Caesars marquee is different.  But most missed is the Mirage frontage and its dolphin statues. While I am looking forward to the guitar I will miss the volcano News Plaza All-inclusive Deal The Bettor Life w/360

Welcome to a very special edition of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of History, Hospitality, and Luxury, broadcasting from the iconic InterContinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco.   Perched atop Nob Hill, the InterContinental Mark Hopkins has reigned as a San Francisco landmark for nearly a century, a beacon of elegance and a witness to the city's vibrant and transformative history. From its breathtaking panoramic views to the legendary Top of the Mark lounge, this distinguished hotel has played host to a constellation of illustrious dignitaries, celebrated figures, and discerning travelers from around the globe.   I was especially touched by the story of the Squadron Shot, a tradition that continues today. During World War II, soldiers would go to Top of the Mark for a shot of their favorite drink before shipping out and upon returning home. Families would watch the ships sail from the windows at Top of the Mark. Those who have served or who are serving are invited for a complimentary shot at Top of the Mark, an award winning sky lounge. And anyone can donate a bottle to continue this tradition. You can even write a personalized note to thank them for their service.   Thank you again to Chalkboard Communications for this delicious and delightful stay at InterContinental Mark Hopkins.   ✅ Be sure and visit KitchenChat.info for more interviews and recipes.  Subscribe to the KitchenChat podcast on Apple Podcasts, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kitchen-chat-margaret-mcsweeney/id447185040 or Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3PpcTPpvHEh8eOMfDUm8I9   #KitchenChat #TasteOfHistory #InterContinentalMarkHopkins #SanFranciscoLandmark #NobHillViews #LuxuryTravel #TopOfTheMark #WorldWarIITradition #SquadronShot #HospitalityAndHistory #MilitaryTradition #TravelInspiration #SkyLounge #ThankYouForYourService #HistoricHotels #ChalkboardCommunications #TravelElegance #SanFranciscoExperience

In this week's study, I continue in Chapter 17 verses 8 and 9. Before I get into the study I reach out to the Baltimore Oriole Fans and enlighten them about their new owner David Rubenstein, who happens to be the co-founder of the Carlyle Group. 8   And go into perdition = That is, its end will be destruction. It will not be permanent, but will be overthrown and destroyed.  And they that dwell on the earth = The inhabitants of the earth generally; Shall wonder = It will be so contrary to the regular course of events, so difficult of explanation, so remarkable in itself, as to excite attention and surprise.Whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world = The idea seems to be, that those whose names are written in the book of life, or who are truly the friends of Yahweh, would not be drawn off in admiration of the beast, or in rendering homage to it.When they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is = That is, the power that once was mighty; that had declined to such a state that it became, as it were, extinct; and that was revived again with so much of its original strength, that it might be said that it still exists. The fact of its being revived in this manner, as well as the nature of the power itself, seemed suited to excite this admiration.In chapter 13, the Beast comes up out of the Abyss, and is therefore, clearly, superhuman. During the first half of the week he is in his mortal stage. In the last half he is in his superhuman stage; for in chapter 13:3, he is seen as having been "wounded to death." But, here, in chapter 17, we are taken back, and are further informed as to the past, present, and future of the Beast, (1) He "WAS," in his mortal stage.  (2) He "IS NOT," for he (at the point of time to which the vision refers) had been assassinated: i.e., had "received his deadly wound," by which he was "wounded to death," and died (13:3).  (3) He "SHALL BE PRESENT," for he "is about to ascend out of the Abyss." The Image in Dan 2 is clearly marked as consisting of five parts:—1. verse 32. "This image's head was fine gold, (one) 2. verse 32. his breast and his arms of silver, (two) 3. verse 32. his belly and his thighs of brass, (three) 4. verse 33. his legs of iron (four) 5. verse 33. his feet part of iron and part of clay." (five).But strange as it may seem, the City of Jerusalem as it existed in the time of Yahshua Messiah was also reckoned to be the "City of Seven Hills." If one starts with the Mount of Olives just to the east of the main City of Jerusalem (but still reckoned to be located within the environs of Jerusalem), there are three summits to that Mount of Olives:The northern summit (hill) is called Scopus [Hill 1],The middle summit (hill) was called Nob [Hill 2],The highest point of Olivet itself, and the southern summit (hill) was called in the Holy Scriptures the "Mount of Corruption" or "Mount of Offence" [Hill 3] (II Kings 23:13).On the middle ridge between the Kedron and the Tyropoeon Valleys there was (formerly) in the south "Mount Zion" [Hill 4] (the original "Mount Zion" and not the later southwest hill that was later called by that name),The "Ophel Mount" [Hill 5],To the north of that the "Rock" around which "Fort Antonia" was built [Hill 6],And finally, there was the southwest hill itself [Hill 7] that finally became known in the time of Simon the Hasmonean as the new "Mount Zion." This makes "Seven Hills" in all.Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions? Feel free to email me at keitner@netzero.net

From Sourced Network Productions, it's the Hot Jazz Network, with host, George Cole. Welcome, welcome everybody to the Hot Jazz Network podcast. My name is George Cole and I'm your host. Today, we're interviewing, or having a conversation with, the one and only, Don Neely, bandleader of the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. San Francisco jazz legend, Turk Murphy, discovered Don's band and offered them a regular engagement at his famous club, Earthquake McGoon's. The RSJO's popularity continued to swell, and Don and his band were featured in numerous national and local television, newspaper and magazine stories. S.F.Chronicle's Herb Caen, frequently wrote of the band's appearances and that newspaper's Society Columnist, Pat Steger noted the many social events at which the R.S.J.O. performed. Another milestone for Don came with a long-running engagement on Nob Hill, at the Mark Hopkins Hotel, in the Peacock Court, where most of the famous big bands had played during the 1930's. Don and the band recreated a long and successful series of Tea Dances with live radio broadcasts simultaneously transmitting over two radio stations. More attention from the public followed which led to an amazing period of non-stop work and travel. Don and the orchestra starred in an hour-long PBS television special, a superb production recreating an authentic Art Deco night club, with their San Francisco fans making up the dancing audience.

In Part 3, we meet Vesuvio bartender Joanna Lioce. Originally from Newport, RI, where her dad was a rock critic, the family moved to LA when he got a job with the Times down there. They landed in Orange County, in fact, a place Joanna left as soon as she could. In fact, the day after she graduated high school, Joanna went to Europe. While she was away, her dad got a job at the San Jose Mercury News and her mom, a pediatric nurse, worked as a public-health official in Berkeley. Joanna was in Europe shortly before Sept. 11, and though she had planned to stay overseas longer, the event made her wonder … but mom said “don't come home.” On a family trip to Ireland when Joanna was 8, she had decided that she wanted to be a bartender. Now it was 2002, and she dropped her bag at a hostel and got a bartending job at O'Shay's Merchant, a pub across the street from the Brazen Head in Dublin. She stayed in Dublin until Christmas, then returned to SoCal, where she had fronted a Riot Grrrrl band called Julia Warhola. But by now, several band members had started doing heroin, so she quit the band and moved to the Bay Area where her family was. Joanna first went to school in the Peralta System in the East Bay, then she got into SF State, where she eventually got her degree. She also finished college at Cambridge in England to study Shakespeare. While going to SF State, she moved to the Mission, specifically 18th and Linda near the Women's Building. She found the place through a Craigslist ad and ending up with six roommates, none of whom she knew previously. Her room set her back only $400, but she wasn't feeling it. From the Mission, Joanna moved to Lower Haight. And 13 years ago, she settled in to her place on Nob Hill, where she lives today. She had a job, hosting then bartending, at Stinking Rose in North Beach. She liked it all right, but when her boss gave credit for a makeover of the bar that she had done to a male co-worker, she knew she had to leave. She gave her two weeks' notice and went for a drink at Vesuvio. While there, a bartender she had befriended offered her the job. She was 21. It was 2003. She's been working at Vesuvio ever since.

A special surprise birthday celebration was held at the Windham retirement home in Fresno for 103-year-old Eileen Jura. The owners of the Benham Ice Cream building (later the Dale Bros. warehouse) had announced intentions to remove their sign due to safety issues in a letter to the city last month. “But, that's not their decision,” says councilmember Miguel Arias, whose district holds more than a few of Fresno's historic assets. Seven people in San Francisco suffered minor injuries when a Cable Car made a sudden stop Monday afternoon on Washington and Taylor Streets on Nob Hill.  Tuesday - 10/10/2023 - Hour 4See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When we were recording the Exploring San Francisco by Cable Car episode we were looking for the perfect ending to the show. We thought it was going to be Fisherman's Wharf, looking out over the bay, Alcatraz in the distance, Pier 39 seals barking in the background ...   But then we heard about James Morehead. James is the Poet Laureate of Dublin (California, not Ireland), his muse is San Francisco and it turns out he's actually written a poem about the cable cars. So we phoned him up with a crazy idea - would he be up for reading us his poem, while riding on the actual cable cars themselves?   He said yes, we met him on the top of Nob Hill and took a ride down the California Line as he recited us this poem. Unfortunately we didn't have space for the whole piece in the episode but we loved it so much we thought we'd share the full version here instead.    This is James Morehead reciting '9.5mph' while riding the cable cars with us off into the San Francisco sunset. Endings don't get much sweeter than that ...   For more information about James' poetry go to ViewlessWings.com   James also has his own podcast - The Viewless Wings Poetry Podcast   For more information visit sftravel.com   This show was produced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry.

Join us for a chill night with 17th Congressional District Supervisor Matt Haney and SF City Attorney David Chiu for an open conversation about what's going on in their lives. What are Matt's plans in his new position as State Assembly District 17 seat? How do they feel about what's transpiring in the nation today? About the Speakers: About David Chiu: David Sen-Fu Chiu is an American politician currently serving as the City Attorney of San Francisco. Previously, he served in the California State Assembly as a Democrat representing the 17th Assembly District, which encompasses the eastern half of San Francisco. Prior to being elected to the Assembly in 2014, Chiu was the President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and Supervisor for District 3, encompassing the northeastern corner of the city, including Chinatown, Nob Hill, North Beach, Union Square, the Financial District, and Fisherman's Wharf. About Matt Haney: Matt has won an election for the 17th Congressional District of CA and serves as the Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, leading the development and oversight of the City and County's $13+ billion budget. He has built a reputation as a hardworking, creative, collaborative problem solver with an unmatched record tackling San Francisco's toughest challenges from homelessness and housing to public safety and corruption. During his tenure in City Hall, Matt championed some of San Francisco's most popular and bold initiatives. He helped spearhead the effort to transform San Francisco's mental health system with Mental Health SF, an initiative guaranteeing mental health care for all San Franciscans. He implemented common sense policies like 24-hour bathrooms and universal tenant protections, facilitated over 5,000 units of new housing in his district, and oversaw record investments in housing, public safety and economic recovery as Budget Chair. As Supervisor, Matt helped ensure more housing and more affordable housing was built in his district than any other. When the pandemic hit, Matt worked tirelessly to support his constituents, from small business owners to essential workers. He authored legislation to house over 2,000 people experiencing homelessness in hotels and spent time working on the frontlines as a disaster service worker at one of our community COVID shelter hotels when there weren't enough staff. He launched relief programs to keep restaurants and music venues afloat during the shutdown, led the fight to open mass-vaccination sites, and authored laws to ensure workers had masks, gloves and adequate sick pay.

Nicole Davison is joined by her friend Erin,  the owner of Nob Hill Jane®, a Cheshire, Connecticut-based calligraphy studio specializing in modern calligraphy, hand-lettered signage, and engraving. Nicole and Erin break down her career transition from a lawyer to becoming the owner of her very own calligraphy studio. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University in 1998 with a B.S. in Business Logistics, Erin worked as a commercial financial analyst for IBM for two years before attending law school.  Upon graduation from Quinnipiac University School of Law in 2003, Erin spent the next fifteen years practicing commercial and intellectual property law at a firm in Hartford, Connecticut.

In this episode, Matt picks up where he left off in Part 1. He talks about places in the US that his family traveled before Matt went to college in Santa Cruz. He shares what went into his decision to stay close to home for school. He graduated in five years and stayed one extra because he didn't want to leave. Then he came back to what is essentially his hometown: San Francisco. His first place was at the top of Telegraph Hill and he loved living in North Beach. He worked in catering, and despite the recession that hit in 2008, never lost his job. Matt still loves to travel, but like our host Jeff, he always loves coming home to San Francisco. He tells us about jobs he's had since his return to living here, including at the Edgewood Center for Children and Families. After Edgewood, Matt started working for Tonic Nightlife Group, which owns a few bars here in The City. From here, we go on a sidetrack about what being from here means to Matt. He talks about his never-ending appreciation for all the sites and attractions in The City. Hosting pub quizzes started for Matt at Tonic Bar in 2014. He shares that story for us. Matt wrote the San Francisco trivia we read and guests competed in at our first ever pub quiz. That was at "We're Still Here" back in September. Pub quizzes went virtual when the pandemic began, and they remain online (and in person) today. We end the podcast with Matt's response to our Season 4 theme: We're still here. If you missed Part 1, please go back and listen to Matt talk about his ancestors and his early life. We recorded this podcast at Soda Popinski's on Nob Hill in November 2021.

One side of Matt Sterling's lineage is a big, Irish Catholic family. In this podcast, the bartender and pub quiz host delves into his family's history in San Francisco. Three generations ago, great-grandparents came here from Ireland, established their roots, and had kids. Matt's maternal grandma was one of them. She grew up in Ingleside and raised seven kids of her own, including Matt's mom. Matt says that on his mom's side, he's got 23 cousins and he knows them all pretty well. Through his mom and his aunts and uncles, Matt shares stories from the neighborhood back in the 1960s. He describes Thanksgiving dinners, first at his grandmother's house and then at his own home, where somewhere around 50 family guests showed up. ​ Matt's dad came to the US from the Philippines when he was 22. He got married and had three kids, but that marriage ended in divorce. Then Matt's parents met when they both worked for the SFPD. His dad was an officer and his mom worked a desk job. The couple had Matt and his sister for a total of five kids. His dad worked many different beats around The City in the thirty-plus years he worked as a cop. As his family started to grow with the arrival of Matt and his sister, his dad found a larger home in Daly City. Matt tells us some of his earliest memories, including going to Catholic school in South San Francisco and later, Sacred Heart in SF. He ran cross country, which helped him get to know San Francisco really well. Matt ends Part 1 talking about various excursions in The City that sealed the fate of his moving here for him. Check back Thursday for Part 2 and the continuation of Matt Sterling's life story. We recorded this podcast at Soda Popinski's on Nob Hill in November 2021. Photography by Michelle Kilfeather

On this episode Dominic and Tristin discuss Kate Gerwin's views on Yelp reviews, her extensive background in bartending, and her many accolades. Kate Gerwin, a widely celebrated restaurateur and mixologist, is well-known in the bartending world for being the first woman and first American to win the Bols Around the World Bartending Championship in 2014, but this is just one of her many worthy accomplishments. In her more-than-20-year career, Gerwin has been named by Drinks International as one of the industry's "Top 100 Most Influential Figures in the World," she has worked as a certified advanced master sommelier for some of Napa's top wineries, consulted on the docuseries Bar Rescue, taught at the Le Cordon Bleu campus in Scottsdale, Arizona and the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vt. We'd be remiss not to mention, as she puts it, her “favorite crowning moment”: being inducted into the Tales of the Cocktail Dame Hall of Fame, which celebrates the contributions of hard-working women to the spirits and cocktail industry. It's her consulting work that she is most passionate about, specifically that which she does with small market bar programs. Sometimes she's called in to help train and educate teams at struggling bar programs, almost like a real life Bar Rescue, and other times she is hired to design bar programs in small tertiary markets that don't yet have a cocktail bar scene. Recently, Gerwin and her business partner, flair bartender Blaze Montana, opened their own bar and distillery, Happy Accidents. The bar is located in the Nob Hill neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/on-the-backburner-podcast/support

One of the key action scenes in the new Marvel Studios film, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” involves a city bus losing control on California Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Other scenes are filmed in the city's Richmond District -- not a typical locale for a major Hollywood production. The film, released Sept. 3, celebrates San Francisco and Asian Americans in other ways as well. We'll talk about San Francisco's role in the movie, which is already one of the year's biggest hits.

So many San Francisco born-and-raised folks' stories go way, way back. That's certainly the case for Joey Yee. Joey begins this episode telling us about his maternal grandfather, who was from Isleton and was a pilot in World War II. After he came back from war, he met Joey's grandma, who was born and raised in SF. He charmed his future wife by giving her the biggest tomatoes she'd ever seen. Joey's grandfather wanted to put roots down, and so he bought a building in San Francisco. His dad's dad immigrated to the US from China. Joey's parents met ice skating and dated for eight years before getting married. After living in Daly City a short time, they moved back to the family house, the one his grandfather bought on Nob Hill. Joey was born during this time. When he was 12, the family moved to the Richmond District. Joey regrets that he didn't explore Nob Hill when they lived there, but he goes on to share his early Giants memories and describes games at Candlestick. He tells us about the public schools he went to, eventually ending up at Washington High in the Richmond. It was there that Joey started dabbling in video classes. That's when his love of video, film, and editing began. ​ Join us for Part 2 on Thursday, when Joey will share stories from life after high school. ​We recorded this podcast at Sutro Heights Park in May 2021.

The Casebook of Gregory Hood was a radio detective program in the United States. It existed in several versions - with different stars on different networks in different years. Hood was an importer in San Francisco who dealt in rare items. John Dunning summarized the show's premise as follows: "With his sidekick Sanderson ('Sandy') Taylor, Hood traveled the world seeking artifacts for his import house. Each item found by Hood had an intriguing history and was inevitably linked to some present-day mystery." The character of Hood was based on real-life importer Richard Gump, who lived in San Francisco. Gump also was a consultant for the program. Hood was a character with a multi-faceted personality. One website devoted to old-time radio wrote about him as follows: Gregory Hood was also an accomplished pianist and composer, a self-taught forensics expert, spoke several languages fluently, was an expert in ancient and modern armament, had a military intelligence background, was a wine expert with an extensive rare wine cellar, and was an acknowledged expert in oriental tapestry. He lived in a penthouse on San Francisco's Nob Hill and employed a Chinese valet, Fong. On June 3, 1946, The Casebook of Gregory Hood began on the Mutual Broadcasting System, replacing The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for the summer. Although intended to be just a summer replacement, it continued in the fall, sponsored by Petri Wine. Jeffrey Marks, in his biography of co-creator Anthony Boucher, explained, "The show had originally been planned as a summer replacement for The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in 1946, but continued for the next year when the radio network had difficulty in reaching an agreement with the Conan Doyle estate." The program had another full-season run on ABC in 1949-50 and also "resurfaced periodically in summer slots." The show was written by Boucher and Denis Green, who also teamed to write the Holmes show. Marks provided this background: Boucher and Green did such a good job for the Holmes show that they were asked about writing an original series for Mutual Radio. Radio shows relied on new episodes. Just as TV airs re-runs during the summer, radio shows gave their actors a summer hiatus of 13 weeks. Networks frequently ran original short-run programming during the summer. Boucher and Green came up with "The Casebook of Gregory Hood" a San Francisco-based antiquities expert who seemed to find current day crimes in the artifacts that he dealt with. The Casebook of Gregory Hood was nearly identical to The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in its opening: same sponsor, same announcement, same narrator frame for storytelling, and the same music. The narrator stopped by to visit Gregory either in his office or home, and the story was told by Hood. Hood's own Watson, Sandy Taylor, accompanied him. Taylor was Hood's lawyer and friend. Book reviewer Bertil Falk noted that the technique Boucher and Green used had deep roots in storytelling. He wrote: "The structure was of a very ancient kind, a frame story where Gregory Hood and his friend tell Harry Bartell a story from the casebook of Gregory Hood. It is a literary method well known from The Arabian Nights and much older than that, since it was used in the Sanskrit work Panchatantra more than two thousand years ago. Gale Gordon played Gregory Hood in the initial version of the program. Others who had the leading role later were Elliott Lewis, Jackson Beck, Paul McGrath, Martin Gabel and George Petrie. Sidekick Sanderson Taylor was portrayed at various times by Art Gilmore, Carl Harbord, William Bakewell and Howard McNear. Changes in stars, time slots and networks undoubtedly hindered the show's success. Marks wrote: "The show suffered from a constantly rotating cast. ... Boucher grew increasingly annoyed with the lack of support for the series." Boucher indicated his dissatisfaction in some personal correspondence: "As to myself and the contest -- the excellent idea you prop

Julia Flynn Siler illuminates San Francisco history with a profile of the residents of a building near Nob Hill. We follow the managers and residents of Mission Home from 1848 through the 1960s. They survived an earthquake and fire, plague and pandemic, political and gang corruption, and racism. “The White Devil’s Daughters” combines history and biography with photos and descriptions culled from diaries, newspaper articles, and state archives. The stories of resilience are centered in an address on the edge of one of San Francisco’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we take a look at one of the signal events in late-19th century America, the opulent Vanderbilt Ball of 1883 that announced the dawning of the Gilded Age. One thousand of the richest people in America attended the costume ball that celebrated the opening of the Vanderbilt’s new mansion on Fifth Avenue. It was a conspicuous display of wealth and power never seen before in the US and it marked a sharp departure from traditional republican values of egalitarianism and restraint in favor of conspicuous consumption and pretensions to aristocracy.    And we also take a look at some key events that occurred this week in US history, like the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and the 1915 quarantining of Mary Mallon, aka Typhoid. And birthdays, including March 24, 1834 – explorer John Wesley Powell March 24, 1919 – poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti   March 25, 1934 – feminist activist Gloria Steinem Feature Story: The Vanderbilt Ball Ushers in The Gilded Age On March 26, 1883 – 137 years ago this week – Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt hosted a gala ball at her mansion on 5th Avenue in New York City. There had been opulent balls and parties in NYC in the past, but nothing compared to this one. The event was held to celebrate the completion of the Vanderbilt’s new mansion, which in truth was more of a palace in the style of Louis XIV than a mere mansion. And then there was the price tag for the ball - $250,000 – or $6 million in today’s money. The Vanderbilt Ball of 1883 announced a new era in the US, one we now call the Gilded Age. And with this new era came new norms and values, ones that we are now quite familiar with in the 21st century. So who was Mrs. Vanderbilt and what was she up to? Mrs. Vanderbilt was born Alva Erskine Smith in Alabama. She married William K. Vanderbilt, grandson of THE Vanderbilt, that is, the great railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. Like his grandfather, he was one of the wealthiest men in America. Alva Vanderbilt had it all. Well, not quite. People like the Vanderbilts had one problem. They had boatloads of money, but no elite heritage like the old money families like the Astors and Roosevelts. So one of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s motivations behind her grand ball was to gain entry into elite society. The problem was that elite, old money New Yorkers shunned the nouveau rich like the Vanderbilts. So Mrs. Vanderbilt worked up a plan. New York’s high society was dominated by Mrs. Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, the queen of the old money set. She had taken it upon herself to determine who was “in” and who was “out” in terms of society. Her confidant and consultant in this matter was a guy named Ward McAllister who claimed that the TRUE elite in New York only numbered “Four Hundred.” Mrs. Astor was especially determined to prevent the Vanderbilt’s from entering this inner circle. But then a crisis emerged. Carrie Astor—Mrs. Astor’s daughter – did not receive an invitation to the Vanderbilt Ball, while all her elite friends did. Alarmed over the implications of this snub, Mrs. Astor made some discreet inquiries. It turned out that Mrs. Vanderbilt’s response was that since Mrs. Astor had never formally called upon her, they were not formal acquaintances and thus it would be improper to invite her daughter to the ball. It was a brilliant move, for Mrs. Astor, seeing no alternative, swallowed her pride and called upon Mrs. Vanderbilt. The next day, Carrie Astor’s invitation to the ball arrived. The Vanderbilt’s were IN! Mrs. Vanderbilt’s big bash was a costume ball. She invited 1,000 of New York’s wealthiest citizens to attend and they responded with ingenuity and enthusiasm, spending lavishly on their costumes.  Some came dressed as animals and others as figures from history or literature, but the most popular theme was to dress as European royalty—Louis the XIV, Marie Antoinette, and many more. Now building palaces and dressing up as European royalty signaled a major shift in American political culture. Ever since the American Revolution, American political culture focused obsessively on the need to adhere to republican values and to shun anything that suggested monarchy and aristocracy. These republican values stressed egalitarianism, which explains why Americans in the early 19th century stopped bowing to each other and instead adopted the handshake. Americans also shunned ostentatious displays of wealth and status, valuing instead republican modesty and restraint. For example, the richest people in NYC in the 1830s lived in a nice neighborhood called Gramercy Park. If you walked around it today, you’d be struck by the modest style of the homes of the rich that still stand there. And republican values also permeated American politics where one of the worst things one could say about their adversary is that they harbored aspirations to be a king or an aristocrat, rather than a man of the people. So, clearly something had changed by the 1880s. America’s super rich families tossed aside ideas like restraint and modesty and went all in on aping their European counterparts, working self-consciously to transform themselves into a new American aristocracy. The modest homes of the 1830s rich just a few miles downtown in Gramercy Park looked like tool sheds compared to the palatial mansions being built on Fifth Avenue, a place now nicknamed Millionaires Mile. And it was happening in every major American city, where rows of monumental homes were rising in places like Nob Hill in San Francisco, Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, and the Main Line in Philadelphia. When the Ball took place on March 26, 1883, yet another indication that a new era had dawned became obvious as thousands of everyday New Yorkers gathered on the sidewalks to watch the spectacle. The rich had become celebrities for – being rich. Mrs. Vanderbilt had skillfully cultivated media coverage, providing interviews and inviting reporters in to see the preparations for the big night. And they lapped it up. By the early 1880s the major newspapers had added what they called Society pages that chronicled in breathless detail the European tours of the Belmonts, Astors, and Lodges, the impending weddings of Morgans to the Satterlees and the Vanderbilts to the Whitneys. The scandals of high society—the usual things like affairs, divorces, bankruptcies, and suicides—also received intense media coverage. Basically, you can draw a straight line from this moment in US history right to the Kardashians. Dancing began at 11:00 pm. Dinner—catered by the famous Delmonico’s restaurant—was served at 2am. The event finally concluded as the sun was rising. Some of the press coverage the next day was a little scornful about the excess, but most offered giddy descriptions of the guests and the festivities. Mrs. Vanderbilt had vaulted to the upper echelon of New York society. As the kids say these days, Mrs. Vanderbilt had crushed it. The success of the Vanderbilt Ball inspired other elite families to engage in a competition to see who could outdo everyone in terms of extravagant spending on galas, balls, soirees, parties, and weddings. They also built even bigger mansions in summer resort areas like Newport, RI. It probably won’t surprise to you to learn that it was in this era that the term “conspicuous consumption” was coined by a sociologist named Thorstein Veblen. “Conspicuous consumption of valuable goods,” he wrote, “is a means of reputability to the gentleman of leisure.” And by the way, keep an eye out for a new television series coming to HBO this Fall. It’s called The Gilded Age and it’s the creation of Julien Fellowes, the guy who created Downton Abbey. It’s essentially a DA of an earlier era and set in New York rather than the UK. My bet is it’s going to be a huge hit and you better believe it will feature many of the themes discussed in this piece. I for one, can’t wait. In fact, I’m probably going to start a Gilded Age fan podcast. But more on that later.

Buoyed by a lifestyle-enhancing new sponsor, we embarked on our first HBTG visits of 2020. First, a visit to Portland’s third-oldest bar — a former downtown dive “men’s resort” turned vintage motorcycle joint, Kelly’s Olympian (09:54). Next, we happily marooned ourselves on an island of “Old Portland” goodness amidst a sea of rampant redevelopment at NW 23rd's Nob Hill Bar & Grill (38:54) where Nate ascended into cheeseburger heaven and Alfredo re-discovered a bathroom just short of perfection. New year, same old beautiful bullshit... History by the Glass rolls on! 

Staying the Creative Course in a Changing Industry, Film Making in the 21st Century with Alan Fulford.Today’s episode is a face to face interview with the often quiet and sometimes reserved man behind the camera. He owns and operates a local business called Field and Frame, which rents out camera and audio equipment. This is a man with a rich body of knowledge about getting the right shot, and a good friend to many, including me. He agreed to do this interview on very short notice, when I mentioned that I was in danger of falling off my intended schedule for this podcast, and he tolerated my use of phone cameras for audio and video, in a two story building of equipment. Ah, the ironies of a good life! In this interview, I ask about how he got to be the main operator at Field and Frame, which has been in the Nob Hill area since 1987. He shares some of his personal stories and perspective and talks about changes in the film industry, especially in the transition from film to digital media. It is my pleasure to introduce Mr. Alan Fulford.. I hope you enjoyed hearing some of Alan’s story and perspective. I know I have some ideas swimming in my head about building a CoOp within the facility he already has there, and I certainly know where I will be going when I am ready to rent some real equipment for any big productions that come into my future. I hope that today you are taking at least one positive action towards your most authentic life. I appreciate your time and attention.

Just before 9 am last Thursday, an unusual speed dating scene sprang up in San Francisco. A casually dressed crowd, mostly male, milled around a gilt-edged Beaux Arts ballroom on Nob Hill. Pairs and trios formed quickly, but not in search of romance. Ice breakers were direct: What's your favorite programming language? Which data analysis framework are you most expert in? More delicately, conversations drifted toward rankings on Kaggle.

In this special episode of the podcast we delve deep into the plot developments of The OA's incredible second season, speaking to creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who throw caution the wind and open up about everything from the Tree Internet and Old Night to the house on Nob Hill and those sex-powered dancing robots. WARNING: spoilers abound throughout so only listen once you've watched all of Season 2.

A petty man wants to build a wall. So, what else is new? This week, the guys explore the history of Spite Fences, with a particular focus on the most famous one. Erected by Charles Crocker on San Francisco's Nob Hill in the late 1800s, this 40-foot-tall monstrosity was built for the express purpose of ruining his neighbor's (Nicholas Yung) view and forcing Yung to sell his property to Crocker. You think your neighbors are assholes? Just wait.

In this episode, architect and long-time SF resident Bob Collins recalls transforming his super tiny apartment and how, in the process, he discovers the real reasons why he calls San Francisco home. Bob has lived in the Bay for 30 years, with stints in the Mission, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, and the Richmond. He has a blog about walking around San Francisco called Urban Ambles, told from the dual perspectives of a regular pedestrian and professional architect.  His walks in the blog cover a cross-section of the city; just like some of our favorite Muni stories from the cross-town lines.

Meet Vera, a 25 year old artist from Oakland, CA. Vera was born in France to an American father and Vietnamese mother. She went to school in France until she was 7, then moved to San Francisco where she grew up. Vera went to college in Massachusettes and she studied math and science, but now works as a full time artist. She made a shift from science to art because she felt disappointed by the lack of answers science could offer. She says she was originally motivated to study science because she was seeking an answer to the question of consciousness, a topic she found science largely ignored. She felt a desire to share her ideas with the world and switched her path to art. She creates abstract paintings. Vera talks about her unique experiences taking 5-MeO-DMT, a hallucinogenic tryptamine, in a ceremonial setting. Vera envisions a post-nation world in which America will be gone and humans will be better able to work together rather for the sake of humanity rather than as nations. Vera likes to go to the top of Nob Hill and look at the city of San Francisco. Every week, Nathaniel Garcia interviews and paints and American woman.

You can call it the City by the Bay, Fog City, SF, San Fran...just don't call it Frisco. This week we are chatting with Leslie Harvey from Trips with Tykes to get her best tips for exploring San Francisco with kids. ON THE PODCAST 032: Chatting with Tamara from Nashville 055: Nashville food tour 2:50 Nashville food scene 7:00 Grand Ole Opry 9:41 Union Station Hotel 12:01 Welcoming back Leslie Harvey 13:30 How long to spend in San Francisco 15:12 Must do sites in San Francisco 17:15 Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf 18:39 Getting to the city from the airport 20:03 Getting around the city 21:36 Walt Disney Family Museum 22:38 Best time of year to visit 23:25 Day trips from San Francisco 25:50 Distance to Disneyland 30:56 Best hotels for families 35:00 Best restaurants for families 38:38 Budget tips 41:29 Best place to take a family photo 43:55 Final tips 45:28 Leslie's favorite travel gear 47:55 Tip of the week ABOUT LESLIE HARVEY Leslie Harvey publishes Trips With Tykes, a family travel blog that focuses on the joys and challenges of travel with babies, toddlers, and young kids. Her travel passions include all things Disney as well as air travel, even in spite of her constant battles with the TSA over her toddler's juice box. Leslie is a former attorney and mother of two children, ages 8 and 3. She's originally from Alabama but now calls the San Francisco Bay Area home. Follow Leslie on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Google +. TIPS FOR EXPLORING SAN FRANCISCO WITH KIDS You need at least three days to visit San Francisco and you can easily spend up to a week. Must see sites in San Francisco include: Lombard Street, Alcatraz, Ferry Building, Pier 39, Alamo Square (with the Painted Ladies from Full House), Golden Gate Park, Walt Disney Family Museum, and Chinatown You must book tickets for the boat to Alcatraz in advance Pier 39 (where the sea lions are) / Fisherman's Wharf is very touristy so it is worth a visit but don't plan on spending all your time there The Aquarium by the Bay is a great way to learn about the local ecosystem If you drive, get an app to find parking but it would be best to leave the car at home and use public transportation To get from the airport, you can take a BART train to Union Square but if you are staying elsewhere, you may want to take an Uber or Lyft. It is about a 30-minute drive without too much traffic. Use public transportation in the city and if you want to get out of the city, you can rent a car for the day from an office in the system The cable car is used as a tourist attraction and not as much for reliable transportation Summer is the foggiest but September is the sunniest and warmest so fall is the best time to come. Winter is the rainy season. Best day trips from San Francisco include Sonoma or Napa, Muir Woods, Monterey, or the East Bay like Oakland Disneyland is a 5-6 hour drive from San Francisco Hotels are centered in Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. Union Square is more centrally located. You need to watch the convention schedule because when large conventions come into town hotels sell out and are extremely expensive (check the Moscone Convention Center schedule). The Westin St. Francis is expensive but you can find deals if you travel off peak. The Fairmont on top Nob Hill is also great with a fun tiki bar. If you use Airbnb, be careful about what neighborhood you choose. Check the San Francisco Chronicle's top 100 restaurant list for fine dining options. Good dining options for kids: Yank Sing dim sum Burritos in the Mission District Ethnic food Food trucks (Off the Grid has pop up locations) There are many free things to do in San Francisco Do the math on CityPass or GoCard to see if it will pay for itself Using the sharing economy (Uber, Lyft, etc) to save money Limit how many museums you do as they are expensive Be prepared that you may need to walk a lot of hills and plan your route accordingly BEST PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTO Take a photo with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background from the scenic overlook across the bridge (if you head north to Sausalito) Another great spot to take a family photo would be at the Chinatown Gate, in Alamo Park, or at the corner of Haight & Ashbury FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Leslie wears a pair of black Mary Jane-style Crocs when she visits San Francisco. Just don't wear sneakers or you will look like a tourist. TIP OF THE WEEK The fog in San Francisco makes it feel much colder than you think it will be. Be sure to bring a raincoat but also something thicker and dress in layers.

Med blommor i håret ger sig Erkki och Maija ut för att hitta sitt San Francisco och upptäcker Finntown, stjärnbagaren Chad Robertson och finnerikanen tillika businesskvinnan Heidi Lemmetyinen. Popula har länge hävdat att Hollywood är finskt, men det verkar som att det går att hitta spår av Finland även i San Francisco. Ekonomin rullar på bra och det är just de många teknologi- och IT-företagen i Silicon Valley som drar hit nordbor. Erkki och Maija brunchar med kommunikationschefen Heidi Lemmetyinen som sedan drygt ett år tillbaka flyttat sitt liv till Nob Hill. Hemma är långt borta, men hon trivs med livsstilen i Kalifornien. Heidi har också koll på stadens finska arv  det kända gaykvarteret Castro hette från början Finntown och befolkades av finska sjömän. I ett gathörn i latinokvarteret The Mission, ett stenkast från kända Dolores Park, driver stjärnbagaren Chad Robertson sitt café. Hans surdegsbröd har blivit omtalat till och med utanför Amerikas gränser och har gjort gästspel på finkrogar runtom i Skandinavien. Maija och Erkki smakar och blir stormförtjusta i Chads limpa och lobbar ivrigt för finskt råg.

This City Hall was once San Francisco’s grandest building. It's collapse during the 1906 earthquake was attributed to political corruption. My examination suggests otherwise.

Growing up in Rhode Island, Chris Cosentino spent his time clamming, commercial fishing, and cranking the pasta machine in his great-grandmother’s kitchen. He was raised on a cuisine particular to parts of New England where Atlantic seafood, Yankee fare and classic Italian cooking fuse into one colorful gastronomy. Creating good food was a family tradition, as Cosentino’s maternal ancestors, the Eastons, were the founders of Newport’s beloved Easton’s Sausage Company. Today, as executive chef of San Francisco’s Incanto, where he cooks in an earthy rustic Italian style, Cosentino is proving that a penchant for meats may just be hereditary. Cured, raw or roasted; traditional cut or offal, meat is his muse. Yet this meat-loving chef does not ignore produce. California is a giant garden, he says, and indeed, he can be spotted at San Francisco’s Ferry Plaza farmers market every Saturday morning, rain or shine. Cosentino’s formal education took place at Johnson and Wales. Upon graduation, he worked at Mark Miller’s Red Sage in Washington, DC. After Red Sage, Cosentino worked at Kinkead’s before moving to San Francisco to work under Traci des Jardins at Rubicon. He was then tapped by Drew Nieporent to open The Coach House on Martha’s Vineyard. Cosentino returned to California to work briefly at Chez Panisse, as well as the three-star Belon as sous chef, and as a chef/consultant at Michael Mina’s Aqua group, opening Nob Hill in Las Vegas. At Incanto, Cosentino makes his Executive Chef debut. He took over the helm of the one year-old restaurant in 2003, immediately garnering a three-star review from SF Chronicle’s Michael Bauer, the first of many critical accolades. Tune-in for another exciting episode with chef Chris Cosentino! This program has been sponsored by Whole Foods Market. Photo by Abby Ainsworth, acqtaste.com “When I was 14 years old, I lied and worked as a dishwasher at an IHOP. I showed up, and nine hours later, I went home. It was a big eye opener for me.” [7:09] “Know where the food comes from first, before you start a trend and change the world. That’s what Mark Miller taught me.” [23:30] — Chris Cosentino on Chef’s Story

Colin Marshall sits down somewhere in between San Francisco's Chinatown, Nob Hill, and Russian Hill with conceptual artist, experimental philosopher, and writer Jonathon Keats, author of the upcoming book Forged: Why Fakes Are the Great Art of Our Age. They discuss his own role as, above all, a fake; his attempt to epigenetically clone such celebrities as Lady Gaga, Michael Phelps, and Barack Obama; Forged, forgery, pursuit of simulacra, and Wim Wenders' Notebook on Cities and Clothes; content's ongoing release from form, and how it sends out the concept of forgery even as it brings it back in; the enthusiastically forged paintings of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and Thomas Kinkade's massively replicated, "master highlighted" images; authenticity as it relates to spaghetti and meatballs; San Francisco's intriguing tension between the claims of its own authenticity and its vision of itself as an experimental utopia — or, in his words, its simultaneous tendencies toward the "incredibly smug" and "very insecure"; why Europeans love San Francisco, and whether that has anything to do with the city's ultimate derivation from their own; his thought experiments' usefulness as "curiosity amplifiers," generating larger questions than the ones they came from; the difference between doing experimental philosophy in San Francisco and in other countries, like Italy; and the exhilarating American freedom that also numbs.

THIS WEEK: the fiery fate of the first Cliff House, and the case of a parrot who would not sing. Click the audio player above to listen in, or just read on ... December 25, 1894: First San Francisco Cliff House burns On Christmas Day, 1894, the first San Francisco Cliff House burned to the ground. As the Chronicle poetically reported the next morning, San Francisco's most historic landmark has gone up in flames. The Cliff House is a smouldering ruin, where the silent ghosts of memory hover pale and wan over the blackened embers. Ah, yes. We discussed this first incarnation of the Cliff House a few weeks ago -- its novel location at the edge of the world, its singular popularity with San Francisco's beautiful people, and its subsequent decline into a house of ill-repute. Well, before it could rise from that undignified state to the status of a beloved landmark, San Francisco's original "destination resort" needed a white knight to ride to the rescue. That knight would be Mr. Adolph Sutro, who -- in 1881 -- purchased not only the faded Cliff House, but acres of land surrounding it. Mining engineer millionaire and future San Francisco mayor, the larger-than-life Sutro had already established a fabulous estate on the heights above the Cliff House, and by the mid-1880s could count 10% of San Francisco as his personal property. Unlike the robber barons atop Nob Hill, though, Adolph believed in sharing his good fortune -- you can hear more about his eccentric philanthropy in the "Adolph Sutro" podcast right here at Sparkletack.com. Sutro's first order of business upon making acquiring the property was to instruct his architect to turn the Cliff House into a "respectable resort with no bolts on the doors or beds in the house." This was just a small part of Sutro's grand entertain-the-heck-out-of-San-Francisco scheme. The elaborate gardens of his estate were already open to the public, and the soon-to-be-famous Sutro Baths were on the drawing board. His goal was to create a lavish and family safe environment out at Land's End, and that's just how things worked out. With streetcar lines beginning to move into the brand new Golden Gate Park, and the City's acquisition of the Point Lobos Toll Road (now Geary Boulevard), the western edge of the City was becoming more attractive and accessible, and over the next decade, families did indeed flock to Adolph's resuscitated resort. And then in 1894, it happened. About 8 o'clock on Christmas evening, after most of the holiday visitors had gone home for the day, a small fire broke out in a kitchen chimney. As the flames shot up inside the walls, the horrified staff quickly learned that none of the fire-extinguishers around the place actually worked. Within minutes, the entire building was engulfed in flames. The resort burned so quickly, in fact, that its famous guest book, inscribed by such notables as Mark Twain, Ulysses S Grant, and Rutherford B. Hayes, was lost along with the building itself. As the Chronicle went on to report, the Cliff House "... went up as befitted such a shell of remembrances, in a blaze of glory. Fifty miles at sea the incinerating fires easily shone out, reflected from the high rocks beyond." Sutro hadn't taken out insurance on the place, but he was so determined to rebuild -- and so damned rich -- that it just really didn't matter. And in fact, the burning of Cliff House number one was a sort of blessing in disguise. That fire cleared the decks -- so to speak -- for Cliff House number two, which would rise from the ashes like a magnificent 8-story Victorian phoenix. Cliff House mark 2 would become everybody's favourite, an opulent monstrosity as beloved by San Franciscans in the Gilded Age as it still is today, frankly -- but guess what happened to that one? The fate of Sutro's Gingerbread Palace coming up in a future Sparkletack Timecapsule. read on ...
