• Tastes So Good Straight From the Hood: Bay Area Rap Energy Drinks Pt. 1 (the Mac Dre Battle)

  There is vibrant life beyond Red Bull in the energy drink market, and the Bay Area rap music scene in particular has inspired several of these beverages. In fact, two local brands offer cans inspired by the same beloved rapper, the late Mac Dre of Vallejo, whose life was tragically cut short in a drive-by shooting in Kansas City, MO in 2004. Oakland company 100 Racks Inc. (aka Hunid Racks) has "Mac Dre Feel'N Myself," while Fairfield's Hyphydration Beverage Co. offers "Thizz Juice." The stu

• Chris Daly Shows He's a Typical San Franciscan After All -- By Moving His Family Out of Here

  The chores ...The stores ... Fresh air ...Union Square!The news that firebrand Supervisor Chris Daly has bought a house in his wife's hometown of Fairfield and his family is currently residing there comes as something of a shock. But the notion of a successful thirty-something San Francisco family up and moving with their young kids to a leafy green suburb with wide streets and basketball hoops over the two-car garages -- that's like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a rabbit hutch. Glancing

• Pick Your Favorite Chris Daly Anti-Suburb Quote!

  Still a street fighter? The chattering classes are abuzz today with news that Supervisor Chris Daly, who has long portrayed himself as a dyed-in-the-wool urbanite for whom happiness is a treeless Tenderloin alley strewn with trash and needles,* has moved his wife and two children to a cozy cul-de-sac in suburban Fairfield. As SF Weekly Online News Editor Joe Eskenazi pointed out earlier today, there's nothing particularly unusual in this move -- well-educated do-gooders move here all the ti

• Actually, It Looks Like Chris Daly Bought TWO Houses In Fairfield

  Supervisor Chris Daly Yesterday Supervisor Chris Daly (a.k.a Brilliant Comrade) disclosed on Fog City Journal that he and his wife, Sarah, recently purchased a home in Fairfield, a stones throw from his in-laws. While that's true, online property filings suggest there's more to the story: The Dalys appear to have purchased two houses in the Solano County city within the past five months. Records indicate the Dalys bought their first Fairfield house -- a 2,300-square-foot

• Daly's Oddyssey: Fairfield-to-S.F. Commute Would Be the Schlep of All Schleps

  Over the river and through the woods, to City Hall we go... Whatever downside Supervisor Chris Daly is facing due to his family's move to Fairfield, he's always got this going for him: Like any proper suburbanite, he can now keep a refrigerator full of beer and meat in his garage and shake his fist in anger at those punk kids who steal it. But if accusations of hypocrisy or feet of clay weren't enough -- prepare for the bus ride from hades. Now, Daly is not pulling an Ed Jew on us -- and, e

  'Meeting time, guys.' The strangely nostalgic odor of stale beer wafts through the streets of Potrero Hill as a handful of familiar figures converge on a designated corner. It's the Progressive Apologists, a group of lefty media movers and shakers who have been summoned to a top secret meeting by Bay Guardian publisher Bruce Brugmann. They are assembled at their haunt of choice -- the taco truck down the road from the Anchor Steam brewery. There's Brugmann and his executive editor Tim

• Looks Like Supervisor Chris Daly Purposely Ruined Chron's Scoop

  Sorry, Chuck: No scoop for you! On Wednesday afternoon, Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius e-mailed Supervisor Chris Daly asking him about the Fairfield home he had purchased in April. The email contained the exact address of Daly's new house. (In other words: Busted!) Daly didn't respond to Nevius. But later the same day he posted a statement on Fog City Journal disclosing that he and his wife had bought a house near his in-laws in the Solano County city. (As it turned out, the couple

• SF Weekly Investigation: Creepy Fairfield No Place to Stow Your Wife

  ​Some observers might have felt tempted to reserve judgment upon hearing news of Supervisor Chris Daly's bizarre family decision to move his wife and kids to Fairfield, a suburb an hour north of here, while he minds the fort in his SoMa condo. As a former staff reporter for the Fairfield Daily Republic, paper of record to that quietly deranged town, I can tell you that Daly's move is creepier and more frightening than even the most sophisticated local insiders have speculated so

• One Reason NOT to Hate on the Dalys' Suburban Exodus

  Chris Daly​Since news broke last week that Supervisor Chris Daly's wife and two children had pulled up stakes and moved to suburban Fairfield, where Daly has purchased two houses, the District 6 supe's detractors have had plenty to talk about. There's no denying that the Daly family's suburban exodus exposes a rich vein of hypocrisy. Much of Daly's political existence has been devoted to assorted anti-gentrification initiatives that have made the city safe for the poorest of the poor while spu

• So, Top City Elected Officials Lost 2.45 Percent of Their Salaries? Here's What They Could Have Bought.

  Apparently, even this guy has been forced to give up $4.90 every time he passes "Go"​The official reason that 18 of the city's highest paid elected officials will take a minuscule pay cut was a recent city charter. But you could trace this one back to the Code of Hammurabi. Way down at the end, it states: "If ever the jaw-droppingly paid officials do lean on the unions to give wage concessions, lo, shall they give concessions also." This is right before the part about how an accused adulteress

A 15-page memo explaining the decision states that the city attorney's investigation consisted of scouring Daly's 2008 tax returns, driver's license, car insurance, recent statements from his four

  Well, Edna, if the Guardian says they're for Garamendi, I reckon we should be, too​The Bay Guardian loves to complain about a certain Chronicle columnist from Walnut Creek criticizing San Francisco policies.

    The moral high ground in San Francisco may be the most valuable real estate of all. Last week Gavin Newsom -- who thumbed his nose at state and federal law on gay marriage -- tried to claim it by saying he couldn't help illegal immigrants because he has too much respect for the law. The Board of Supervisors also tried to claim the moral high ground by saying that Gavin Newsom -- whom they supported when he thumbed his nose at state and federal law on gay marriage -- has to help immig

Not the day after, not the day before, not most of the week. Just the one holiday. Does that sound like them? No. No it does not. It sounds like something a governing body in a responsible ci

  We noted earlier today that, because the city is having cash-flow problems of the sort experienced by meth addicts with seven girlfriends, creative methods of earning additional revenue may become a necessity. Fortunately, this is a creative place, governed by creative people. Take Chris Daly. With his wife and kids ensconced in Fairfield, Daly has rented out his Stevenson Street crashpad condo as a rave site. The city's making plenty of money -- and if the neighbors complain about the noise, wh
