Every week in San Francisco is different. One day, there’s a highway filled with cars; the next, it’s traversed by baby strollers. To track the city’s constant microscopic changes, we started Fogcutter, SFGATE’s column of odds and ends. Every Sunday, we round up our favorite moments from the past week — high culture, pop culture and a surprising number of grocery store visits. We use these snapshots to shout out our favorite local spots, and remind ourselves what makes the Bay Area special.
