By : Coach A

After years of battling – it appeared we were set to have a Home Depot on Bayshore Blvd. It seems the debate was for naught as the Chronicle reported today that plans were scrapped due to tough economic times.

I for one was looking forward to a Home Depot within the city and the refurbishing of the Goodman Lumber building. Guess we’ll have to wait!

Introducing the DogBlog!

Many of us have had a lifetime of enjoyment with pets, and I’m not sure that there’s a more loving and loyal friend than a dog. Does your significant other jump up and down and wiggle their butt when you get home?!?

Here’s a few sites for your SF dog needs:

A 4 Million dollar view?

By: Coach A

You’ve heard the saying, “A million dollar view.” – how bout a 4 million dollar view.

Here are two choices:

  1. 100 Palo Alto Ave - Situated on the top of Twin Peaks, 4 beds and 4.5 baths, 4800 square feet and views of 5 counties. (Listed by Herth Real Estate – photo courtesy of Bernard Katzman)
  2. 115 Telegraph Hill Blvd – Situated just under Coit Tower, 1 bed and 1.5 bath cottage on a 7500 sqft lot of land - enough room to build a dream house or multi unit building – this assuming you can get the North Beach Neighborhood Association on board.

Best of What’s Around

By: Coach A

Greetings – Our editor in chief is on vacation so I’m running the show for a few weeks. Imagine – a So-Cal guy leaving his prize possession to a Jersey boy. Thought we could all have some fun and post our Bay Area favorites – We’ll get 5 of these up while G is in South America – when he gets back he can revisit his love of all things Bay Area.

Today’s Topic – Restaurant.

The Bay Area is home to some of the best eats and drinks in the world. With that in mind – I ask the Schtuff crew this:

What’s the Best Restaurant in the Bay Area and WHY – Be Descriptive! Read the rest of this entry »

Seasonal Veggies 101

jackschtuffsized1.jpg

By: Jack Schtuff

Since you are what you eat, I thought it might be nice to include a bit more food education on schtuff, to add to our collection of recipes.

This website http://www.cuesa.org/seasonality/charts/vegetable.php will provide a bit of insight for what veggies are in season, events and programs, and highlights special content on urban education for sustainable agriculture.

Also, SF Gate’s recent article http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2008/03/05/FDGKULTR9.DTL gives you some uncommon ideas for making the most of your shopping experience.

Last, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/fact_sheets/index.asp?src_location=content&src_page=FSEd
is a fact sheet from the USDA, detailing specifics on handling and preparation of different foods.

Eat fresh, laugh, love and live long.

Changing Of The Gaurd

Ggold is taking (talking about oneself in the third person is so fun) a much needed break from real estate, blogging and San Francisco. In his absence (there’s that 3rd person again), Coach A will be in charge. You may notice some changes in content, look and feel–some things you’ll like some things you won’t; be nice to the Schtuffers, speak up and participate. G-double-trouble will be seeing ya’ll in mid-April.

Be good.
