I'm looking for a big, isolated concrete or asphalt lot in San Francisco that butts up against a tallish brick wall. I want to be able to bounce hard rubber lacrosse balls off of this wall for hours at a time and never be bothered by anyone. Anyone know of a place like this?

Where in the San Francisco/Berkeley area can I get a truly good selection of Bulgarian music?
(By which I mean a BulgarianCDs.com-style selection, not the usual Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares stuff. HMV/Tower-type places probably don't apply.)

...on the 7 to Haight.
A while back, I read a newspaper article about two people, who committed a month (or the summer) to riding every single route on MUNI last year. I think I read it in the SF Gate. Does anyone know where I can find this article, or any other sources for this? Please tell me I didn't hallucinate this, because it sounded cool at the time.
