I recently kayaked out to get a better look at the only privately owned island in the Bay. It’s just a hunk of rock, but it’s also prime Bay Area real estate. bit.ly/3KrW3lF

Native Californians only! Do you ever use the nickname "Cali" for the state?

🎙️ ON AIR: We're speaking w/ @mcleantessa, @markzbarabak & @GustavoArellano to show the Golden State a little love and give their best defenses of California. ❓What’s your best defense of California? Why do you love the state? 📻 Listen: kqed.org/forum/20101019…

It's good to take a step back sometimes and think more critically about your beat. Today on @SFGate : 'America's obsession with the California exodus'. (Surprise, surprise, it's nothing new.) sfgate.com/california/art…

Living above a Cheesecake Factory sounded like my worst nightmare, so I had to visit the place where it's been happening since 2008. But these Californians are obsessed with living above a mall and it's a look into our future. sfgate.com/la/article/liv…

Especially as a Calif. transplant, it was fun to dig into the origins of one of the state's most controversial laws. And who would have thought it involved Rob Lowe and Whoopi Goldberg! sfgate.com/california/art…

Obsessed with this @SFGate story from @mcleantessa about a grocery store name change being the actual unofficial boundary between NorCal and SoCal. Mostly loving the quotes from the northernmost Vons employee and the southernmost Safeway employee: sfgate.com/food/article/u…

"Many Californians will be mad I’m writing this article at all," writes @SFGate's @mcleantessa on why we shop at Safeway in NorCal, and Vons in SoCal. As a former editor for Safeway's now defunct food magazine, this is an explainer I can get behind. sfgate.com/food/article/u…

I waded into a very controversial topic today for @SFGate : Where is the one, true dividing line between Northern and Southern California? sfgate.com/food/article/u…

When I got a call about the ongoing roof issues at some of the artist buildings at the SF Hunters Point shipyard, I went to investigate. But what was more shocking is they haven't had heat or running water in 15 years. sfgate.com/local/article/…
