The MTA is proposing cuts to every Muni line in an effort to close a plus-sized $16.9 million budget gap. What's more, and you might want to grab a nearby trashcan to use as a make shit airsick bag before you read this, they're proposing a jarring fee hike to ride the USEFUL and CONVENIENT historic streetcars that zip along Market Street
Oh fun. A massive Buddha sculpture could comes to Civic Center Plaza -- that is, according to SF Examiner, "if the area’s infrastructure proves strong enough to support the six-armed behemoth." The 15-ton structure, created by Chinese artist Zhang Huan, would also need $100,000 for shipping costs to haul the thing from Shanghai to San Francisco, money that would be raised by The City’s Arts Commission.

While we all mourned the loss of Amber, the delightfully lung-cancerous bar on 14th Street and Church, its replacement opens up on Saturday night.

On Thursday night, according to CBS 5, "at least two BART board members said they might be in favor of a fare hike for riders using the trans-bay tube in order to close a budget deficit." BART already saw a 6.1% fare increase back in July.

We figured you needed a couple weeks' hiatus from drinking after the holidays and all, but SFist Drinks returns today with a cocktail from Michael McDonagh, beverage director at Fisherman's Wharf-adjacent bar/club The Parlor. The name comes from the use of G'Vine small batch gin, and McDonagh describes it thusly:
