Did you miss our quiz on last week’s news? See what you remember about emergency alarms, high school, and the Bob Lee murder case.

Our readers depend on Joe Eskenazi to make sense of the mysterious workings of San Francisco politics, and to pull back the curtain on our city’s often “strange and terrible” institutions. This coming Tuesday at Manny’s, Joe interviews Dean Preston, the D5 socialist who’s been termed “the most hated supervisor in San Francisco,” to dig into the why of Preston’s beef with the City Family. Get your tickets here for the conversation, and bring your own questions.

More soon,
