What are the best bookstores in the Bay Area for pop culture and critical theory?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, March 4, 2020 3:15 PM (three days ago)
Moe's. Green Apple is good. There are also small places like E.M. Wolfmann, Issues, and Adobe books that are worth a look if that's an interest.
― sarahell, Saturday, 7 March 2020 22:17 (four years ago) link
Went to Moe's for the first time in November. Definitely going back when I'm there in a week. They had an insane amount of stuff, mostly reasonably priced. Will make sure to check out Green Apple this time too.

I went for a bike ride today, up the Wiggle, across the GGB, etc. Seems fine? Probably less dangerous than picking up food at the cafe? No idea really.
― lukas, Thursday, 12 March 2020 23:14 (four years ago) link
Yeah, the fact that I'm Bernal Heights means one can always just walk up the hill for some exercise and a view -- but with the rain coming in, looks like it's a hunker down weekend no matter what.

My boss is having a meltdown. Not that it makes a difference because all 3 of our stores have done hardly any business the last week. I’m still expected to work, since I’m in production.

no update from Sacramento yet but my guess is the same is coming soon

xp - do you do mail order, too?
Also -- does anyone know if the Department of Building Inspection is open or closed?
― sarahell, Monday, 16 March 2020 21:00 (four years ago) link
depends on how much cash you have in that envelope

Luckily, we are headed back home tomorrow, but it has certainly been a weird time for a SF vacation
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 00:35 (four years ago) link
Xp yeah we do. My boss is being a dick about this whole thing. I spent 2 hrs embroiled in a pointless text conversation with her and the patternmaker, trying to convince her our 2 elderly seamstresses should not be working the same hours as each other because they work in the same area. I work way in the back and the PM works upstairs, and we’re making sure not to be there when the seamstresses are.

So, uh, anybody know if laundromats are still gonna be open?
― Fetchboy, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 05:58 (four years ago) link
there’s specific language allowing them to remain open. plumbers too.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 06:01 (four years ago) link
Fantastic, thanks!

they have relaxed parking enforcement -- but not entirely! Oh San Francisco, so on brand!
― sarahell, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 18:50 (four years ago) link
why did they shut down w33d delivery argh
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 18:57 (four years ago) link
now that is a bad move -- you can get groceries delivered, you can get office supplies delivered, you can get medicine delivered .... seriously wtf
― sarahell, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 18:59 (four years ago) link
berkeley pot shops open for medical only, which of course I don't have anymore, so looks like I need to get an online card.
― akm, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 19:00 (four years ago) link
bike riding for exercise is okay, which ... i'm definitely going to do it, but i'll feel obscurely guilty about it.

Some businesses do not have the luxury of offering takeout or delivery. “Even though I think of mini golf as ‘essential,’ said Urban Put owner Steve Fox, “it doesn’t qualify.”

haha - that place is pretty cool actually. not the brewpub aspect of it, but the course/holes are very cleverly designed
was bummed to learn that Borderlands isn't doing mail order :( Had to resort to ordering from Powell's in Portland.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 20:30 (four years ago) link
Powell's is closing too, isn't it? Just saw a Portland pal post about it
― sarahell, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 20:30 (four years ago) link
yes but their online store is open. Borderlands was previously doing mail order through Biblio.com, but they said they can't fill orders right now

shit Powell's just laid everybody off :(

Bunch of guys working on stripping and painting the house across the street. I know they need the money, but ...
― lukas, Thursday, 19 March 2020 17:17 (four years ago) link
housing construction and repair are considered essential businesses, and it's not like they are all up in people's faces. ... like Best Buy has been open all week. Yeah, sure it's all about providing people necessary equipment for working at home and homeschooling kids ...
― sarahell, Thursday, 19 March 2020 20:26 (four years ago) link
This is maybe partially about my incredulity that the new owners would repaint what was already the most recently-painted building on the block.Best Buy should not be open
