The Divisadero Farmers Market is hosting an apple pie baking contest on Sunday, and for some reason I've been asked to be a judge. How could I say no?

It came down to the wire, but Ragazza officially passed its final inspection this afternoon, and is all set to open its doors to the public tonight.

We may have discovered San Francisco's unluckiest man -- a U-Haul truck driver who passed through the Lower Haight recently. Or at least tried to.

Some Banksy-like art has appeared at the former site of Ike's Place, making us wonder if two of 2010's biggest S.F. stories have awesomely converged.

This Saturday night, catch the first-ever movie night in Duboce Park, featuring the 2006 Will Smith flick "The Pursuit of Happyness."

You may have seen signs like this for "Bob Buckter, Color Consultant" all over San Francisco -- but where did we spot this one in the Lower Haight?

We were invited over to Ragazza this afternoon for a sneak peek inside the soon-to-open pizzeria, and we must say, it left us impressed. And hungry.

PARKing Day, a protest, two art events, and the biggest street festival around are just a few of this weekend's neighborhood highlights.

Backspace, the women's boutique that has occupied 351 Divisadero since 2006, announced that it's closing this week - or possibly has already.

We chat with Ike Shehadeh, owner of Ike's Place, about a wide range of topics, including the possibility of Ike's Place moving to the Lower Haight.

Good news: Ragazza, the new pizzeria that has literally been kept under wraps all summer at 311 Divisadero, is finally set to open next Wednesday.

Mark your calendars, folks -- we've finally decided on a time and place for the first-ever Haighteration Happy Hour! Drumroll please...

It's hard for us to believe, but Haighteration launched on March 15th -- six months and 228 posts ago.
