• Groovy: Marijuana Advocates Ecstatic About Attorney General's New Pot Policy -- See Boost for Ammiano Legalization Bill

  Supporters of legal marijuana -- medical and otherwise -- will be racking their brains to find some way to celebrate a potentially groundbreaking drug policy change announced by Attorney General Eric Holder today.In short, the AG said Justice will only target those "who violate both federal and state law" regarding marijuana. Without going into specifics, this should mean an end to the ever-present worries that Drug Enforcement Agency officers will crash the party for those using medical marijua

  In the old days of the music industry, label staff loaded up their station wagons with vinyl albums and promotional goodies, and set off on Odyssey -like road trips across America, stopping at every mom'n'pop retail shop along the way. The goal was to establish direct, personal relationships with record stores, and to forge a connection between retail, artist, and label which has become increasingly rare these days. So you've got to give it up to Seattle-based indie reissue specialists Light in

• From Goats to Egyptian Onions, Craigslist Can Hook You Up with the Essentials of Urban Life

  Find a hand job. Or a truckload of Zinfandel grapes.​Nearly 70 years ago, Albert Camus ruminated on the isolation of city life: As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means. If only he'd lived to know Craigslist. We're no longer petals on Pound's black, wet bough, filing out of buses and trains in lines, anonymous faces in the crowd arranged in purely natural forms, images unaware of shared voices or relationships beyond pos

  Do not step into one of these vehicles until you've read this article​The other day we ran an article about an alleged violent drunk who refused to pay for his cab ride. When the cabbie began driving toward a police station, the inebriated fare attempted to choke him before tossing a soiled $10 bill onto the seat and staggering off into a park. Not being frequent San Francisco cab passengers, we had no idea how much of the fare 10 bucks represented. But reader Drew Bader quickly nailed the all
