An Uninvited Guest

March 10, 2016 By Rob Nicolo Leave a Comment

"We are the champions - my friends.  And we'll keep on fighting, Till the end ...", Freddie Mercury's singing adds to my high spirits.  Coming out of my Saturday morning gym workout, there's definitely a spring in my step.  I head up Green from Polk Street.  The ascent up Nob Hill, a usually arduous … [Read more...]

An Afternoon With The Sea Whisperer

Kirk-Lombard-Sea-Forager-monkey-prickleback-catch

My eyes momentarily gazed up at the Berkeley Hills, blazing in fiery colors.  The fleeting moment, caused by the sunset's light reflecting off of hillside homes, brought a moment of retrospection to my afternoon experiences.  Standing on the seawall's crown, I turned my head back down to the man … [Read more...]

"Oooooooh, aaaaaah", my family and I would harmonize our voices as we passed by exceptionally decorated and brightly lit homes.  The drives were a family tradition during my childhood.  Pick a night during the Christmas season and take the family car around the town.  Our goal was to enjoy (and … [Read more...]

City Of Broken Glass

Sparkles of light pierced through the glare of the late afternoon sun as it descended onto Twin Peaks.  I had been walking westerly on uninhabited patch of Townsend Street near the Caltrain rail yard when my gaze turned down at the pavement.  Piles of emerald colored glass nuggets lay before me … [Read more...]

SF Open Studios – Artist Spotlight

sf-open-studios-giorgio-landa

A contemporary international city could not exist without human engineering.  The concrete bones of a skyscraper, electrons flowing through power lines, and the software that guides public transportation all rely on the prowess of human engineering.  But what about engineering's antithetic brother, … [Read more...]

Making Sense of The Proposition Madness – November 2015 Edition

October 23, 2015 By Rob Nicolo 1 Comment

Vote yes on A, No on K!  Those ads, billboards and crazy propositions are back.  Some want to help the poor, some want to help the rich.  Others represent political infighting and really don't want to help anyone.  Despite some improvements this year (many have summaries now), the ballot measures … [Read more...]

And then it came.  A gentle cool wind pushed onshore and broke the placid warm air that hovered over the hot sands of Ocean Beach.  A half hour prior, as temperatures were charging upward past 90°F, an outdoor yoga class had commenced on the same shores under the direction of Yoga Teacher Tony … [Read more...]

San Francisco’s Transportation Scoots Forward

January 21, 2015 By Rob Nicolo Leave a Comment

scoot-networks-winter-2015-review-cover-new-20

Through the train's windows, an ethereal scene of the Embarcadero waterfront and sparkling bay waters allowed a momentary reprieve from my current situation.  35 minutes prior I had left FiDi and boarded Muni's T line to meet a friend in SoMa for a "quick" lunch hour meal.  Shortly after an expected … [Read more...]
