Good afternoon!
Yay, Ronna Raz is back! The illustrator has a terrific comic explaining how San Francisco’s antiquated sewers work (and don’t.) Read all about storm flooding, disappearing marshes, old pipes, and a seven-foot-high pile of feces.
Wilfredo Tortolero Arriechi, the man charged with stabbing a social worker to death last month at S.F. General Hospital, appeared in court today and pleaded not guilty. His public defender said that Tortolero Arriechi has been in a mental health “crisis.”
For back story, see our timeline of events on the day of the stabbing.
More soon,
Sara
