TIL that Henry D. Cogswell built free drinking fountains in major U.S. cities because he believed that people would drink less if they had access to free drinking water. They proved unpopular, and one in San Francisco was torn down by an angry anti-temperance mob.

Two new spots going in on Broadway in Temescal

I walked down Broadway today, and I noticed that both the spaces that housed the old True Burger and Clove and Hoof are both under construction. The True Burger spot had a sign on the door saying that Egg Palace by Egg Pals is coming soon (apparently another breakfast spot?). And the Clove and Hoof spot had a Drink Thicc (smoothies) sign inside it. So stay tuned, I guess.

Where do you get your oil changed?

I am just discovering that my favorite oil change spot, Pro Lube on San Pablo, closed, and I am reeling at the prices some other places are charging. Surely there must be another reasonably priced spot in Oakland/Emeryville?
