Assumptions and refresh
  • Public data only, from pages opened Tue Oct 27, 2026, around 10:03 pm PT (NWS forecast and alerts, Caltrans District 4 news, BART advisory feed, SFMTA travel updates, SF Opera, Exploratorium, NHL and NBA schedules re-checked; club listings, restaurants, fares, bikes and SFO notes carried from earlier runs). Nobody was contacted and nothing was signed up for.
  • This is a snapshot. BayAreaDailySync refreshes it every 8 hours (6 am, 2 pm, 10 pm PT).
  • Times are Pacific. Prices only where a cited page lists them.
Not verified
  1. Yelp ratings (blocked).
  2. Ticket prices for Slow Pulp, Huberman, Mo Welch, Poly Díaz, Sharks, Warriors and Creepatorium.
  3. Fillmore, Masonic, Punch Line and Cobb's pages load by script and couldn't be re-read this run, so those listings are carried from Monday.
  4. BART Yellow Line, OAK and bus-bridge items are carried; only the SFO/Millbrae advisory was re-checked.
  5. Live Muni alerts; fares, Lyft Bike, Lime and Spin pricing not re-checked.
  6. All restaurant hours and details carried from earlier runs; Zuni's Friday hours not checked.
  7. Other Friday events (SF Symphony, SFJAZZ, Halloween-eve parties) not checked.
  8. The Warriors tip-off time comes from ESPN's schedule feed; nba.com wasn't readable by script.
What changed since the last brief

What changed since the last brief (Tue 2:05 pm): the window now runs Wed–Fri, so Friday's Warriors vs. Lakers game and SF Opera's Manon are added and Tuesday's items are gone. Caltrans posted new daytime one-way traffic control on SR-84 between La Honda and Woodside, Wed–Fri. NWS reissued the Coastal Flood Advisory at 3:11 pm with no change, and Friday looks sunny, high near 64.
