The view from Coit Tower: Columbus is on the outs now because he may or may not have massacred Native Americans, but I’m still glad we have him to thank for the spaghetti and pizza in North Beach.

I don’t think I like the looks of some of those people on the cable car in the bottom cartoon, especially that mean looking lady on the right!
