Treat or treat! Tomorrow from 2 to 6 p.m., the Candy Store (1507 Vallejo St. at Polk) will host its third annual Halloween event. The boutique will set a candy cart set outside where sweet-toothed locals can fill their own containers for free. Prizes will also be awarded for the best costumes. Gosh darnit that’s [...]

If you’ve ever ventured to Polk Street on a weekend morning — you know, for coffee, breakfast, shopping, or a walk of shame — you may have encountered a sidewalk collection of tennis rackets between Broadway and Vallejo.
