This weekend’s roundup focuses on the joys of California living. Friends and family on the East Coast are digging out from a snow storm on the first day of spring, so be sure to Instagram yourself soaking up the rays this weekend, and let them live vicariously.
Important note: construction on the Sunset Tunnel resumes this weekend, which means the N-Judah line will be replaced by shuttle buses from 7pm tonight until 3:30am on Monday. Riders bound for Ocean Beach will board buses at Church & Duboce, and there’ll be absolutely no parking on Carl Street from Clayton to Cole.
