Good afternoon!

Patrick O’Riordan, director of the Department of Building Inspection, is demonstrating impressive chutzpah: He’s asked the judge overseeing the case against former inspector Bernie Curran for $1 million in restitution to pay DBI for auditing Curran’s irregular workโ€”work that current management directly supervised. Joe Eskenazi continues to unravel this strange and terrible tale.

The SF Mime Troupe’s new show, “Breakdown,” satirizes doom loop reporting about the city. “The blending of farce and realism, especially in politics, seems as San Francisco as the fog,” writes our reviewer Mark Rabine. Check the schedule to catch upcoming performances.

More soon,
