Driver dies as truck plunges off Bay Bridge S-curve - 42 accidents since September, first fatality - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin...
Cristo liked this
"A truck driver died early today after losing control on the Bay Bridge S-curve and plummeting in his big rig 200 feet to Yerba Buena Island, the most serious crash since the new detour was installed, the California Highway Patrol said ... The crash happened about 3:30 a.m. as the big rig, loaded with pears, was traveling on the westbound upper deck at about 50 mph - 1o mph over the speed limit in that zone - said CHP Sgt. Trent Cross."

Oakland's Peerless Coffee still going strong - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin...
"Before there was Peet's or Starbucks, long before Ritual or Blue Bottle, there was a tiny shop on Washington and Ninth streets in Oakland that supplied premium coffee to local restaurants and hotels ... It's the house coffee at Cyrus in Healdsburg and Gary Danko in San Francisco, supplies several Four Seasons hotels and can be found at other Bay Area establishments."
