Michelle Homme spotted this amazing truck recently in front of her Polk Street shop, Homme. Not only does this ole red truck have a shingled ROOF — ! — but its owner is just sitting in the back of it . . . sharpening knives! The Mission’s taco trucks have nothing on Russian Hill’s very [...]

Marine Layer is a San Francisco-based t-shirt company with an awesome logo, and some pretty sweet-looking shirts for dudes. I learned about it in quite possibly the most embarrassing place. [...]
