I've been nursing a broken ankle cap the past 8 weeks and finally got a real hike in yesterday pain-free, near my new stomping grounds in San Bruno! LivingSocial and Vimbly are asking for a comeback of EUH, so stay tuned, and let me know your requests :-)

A fun article! Of course it leaves out the Excelsior and some other still-under-the-radar neighborhoods.

This is a city of famously diverse neighborhoods, and looking at the history of our ’hoods gives us insight into some very San Francisco folklore. Below is…
