A line of teenagers and teachers wraps around the Orpheum Theater. About 2,000 people are here. The students appear both excited and tired. Some of these kids are

Less than a week ago, Chanthon Bun was incarcerated at San Quentin Prison. He had been granted parole and was waiting to get out. But two things stood in his way: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and COVID-19. Coronavirus cases have exploded inside San Quentin. So far, more than 1,400 people in the prison have tested positive. Six have died. Bun, who is immunocompromised, started to show symptoms just days before his planned parole date.

We’re continuing our journey westward, toward the ocean, and we’re getting close now. Less than a mile to go. We cross over Chain of Lakes Drive. And as we pass, just to our right is the simply named North Lake. We’re walking through this urban forest, and the trees have gotten especially thick to our right. Look closely and you can see … there’s a golf course in there! A lot of people who live in San Francisco don’t even know that. But we’re not here to play golf, today. We’re targeting a different

We’re heading out from the ponds of the Golden Gate Casting and Angling Club. It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump to our next stop. As we approach John F. Kennedy Boulevard, again, we come across a site you won’t find on any map — but one that locals return to year after year. There’s a patch of cherry blossom trees. Beautiful, for sure, but they’re not the draw, actually. Beside them, about 30 feet up one of the park’s majestic tall trees, there’s a nest. A great horned owl nest. Year after year, the

In the Palestinian town of Jericho, customers cycled in and out of a cell phone shop to buy new SIM cards. Sameer, the owner, sat behind a desk, clicking through YouTube for music from his teenage years. He sang along to an anthem about young Palestinians taking to the streets to fight for freedom from the Israeli Occupation. Between verses, he sipped water from a bottle with a piece of amethyst at the bottom. That mineral, Sameer said, is a natural stress reliever. It helps keep him calm and

This week the Bay Area entered its fourth month of shelter-in-place. And it's a confusing time: infection rates are climbing in some counties, just as local resturants are welcoming back diners. Even summer camps, casinos and malls are reopening. At the same time, cities and counties are opening up to new ideas –– like defunding their police. And in a world that looks totally different than it did just 90-plus days ago, the path forward remains murky. For the past three months we’ve been checking

I used to work as a cook. And if Bay Area kitchens do one thing well, it’s to teach you about where your ingredients were grown and raised. I’ve seen goats milked at CowGirl Creamery and the hard work that goes into harvesting heirloom varieties that foodies love. There was even one chef who took me and a crew of young line cooks to a Sonoma ranch that was killing its last cow. It’s been six years but I still think about that man who did the slaughtering. Because up until then, I had no idea that
