I was reading through a list of California sundown towns when I saw a note about Antioch "expelling" its Chinese residents in 1876. Here's the story of how they did — and how the ramifications persisted for 100 years: sfgate.com/sfhistory/arti…

@ESPNRittenberg @SFGate @FindingDolores Great work on the podcast, Adam!

Many thanks to @KatieDowd and @SFGate for this extensive story about Dolores Wulff -- her disappearance, the case against her husband and the decades-long search to find her -- with materials from the @FindingDolores pod. Final episode drops Monday. sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…

@supatunajin I'm the writer of this piece! thanks for your v nice comment

i think this quality is something english publications rarely get right - they take seokjin's Worldwide Handsome persona and his audacity at face value. i like how they mentioned there's a tension between jin's confidence and shyness. i think this part makes him so endearing

I flew from SF to spend 30 hours in Dallas catching @bts_bighit Jin's show. It was absurd, brilliant and filled with super tunas. My review for @mySA: mysanantonio.com/entertainment/… #Jin_TOUR_US #RUNSEOKJIN_epTOUR_DALLAS

A Tomorrowland revamp was not in the cards at D23, which means Disneyland's most in-your-face failure will remain up above guests for the foreseeable future. @Pocket sfgate.com/disneyland/art…

One day, Roy Frisch "stepped into oblivion." Did Baby Face Nelson kill him? Is he buried in the yard of a Reno mansion? Police are still on the hunt. cc @Pocket sfgate.com/renotahoe/arti…

Went to see the heartbreak queen @_megmoroney at the Mountain Winery and came away even more convinced she's the next country superstar. My review: sfgate.com/sf-culture/art…

the search for elizabeth schenk made national headlines when she went missing in the mendocino county wilderness late last month. I interviewed her at her oakland home about her survival and a key clue that helped investigators find her: her bra. sfgate.com/local/article/…

He went to church. He had a girlfriend. And he was living in a secret hideout inside a Circuit City. The story of Roofman: sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…

I happened to be in Vegas the day it was announced the Tropicana is closing on April 2. My dispatch from a very sad hotel: sfgate.com/travel/article…

It's hard to find a Disneyland ride origin that hasn't been retold a million times. So I'm thrilled to bring you the tale of the Bay Area balloon pilot who was enlisted for a secret project that would become Soarin' Over California: sfgate.com/disneyland/art…

After four executives left in the weeks after its grand opening, I headed to the new Fontainebleau on the Vegas Strip to see what it was like right now. The answer was... mixed. sfgate.com/travel/article…

Last week I paid $38 (with tax!) to spend the night at Circus Circus in Vegas. It was ... an experience: sfgate.com/travel/article…

People don't vanish off the face of the earth. But Kristen Modafferi's case is as close as it comes. Over two decades later, here's where her case stands (from me and @AndrewChamings): sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…

In the summer of 1997 a teenager vanished from a mall in San Francisco. @KatieDowd and I spoke with the people closest to the case. Maybe the saddest and most baffling story I’ve worked on. We hope someone reads it who can help find Kristen. sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…

With rumors flying about the mystery company that bought 52,000 acres in Solano County, now someone is polling locals about the possibility of a "new city" being built there. The latest from my hometown: sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
