San Francisco residents in "the know" believe Historic Dogpatch is one of the next up and coming neighborhoods. With an emerging arts district, this already bustling area boasts some of the city's finest art galleries, purveyors of artisan coffees, decadent chocolate shops, wine bars, local wine makers, hot dining spots, and destination bars. This area also has a custom messenger bag boutique, a hand-crafted ice cream parlor, a French butchery and many more uniquely San Francisco shops. This sunny microclimate, adjacent to the waterfront, is south of Mission Bay and east of Potrero Hill. The borders of Historic Dogpatch are Mariposa to the north, I-280 to the west, 23rd Street to the south and waterfront to the east (see map below). Just steps away from the 22nd Street Caltrain S...

In a supposed progressive green city, it won’t be until today that San Francisco finally gets its own biodiesel station – Dogpatch Biofuels. It’s been a long time in the making with permits, and inspections and the like. Hasn’t San Francisco seen biodiesel before? You’d think that they were dispensing nitroglycerin the way the approval process worked like molasses. We’re not counting the Olympic Station that sells B20 to mostly fleet vehicles and trucks or the op-op that used to operate in SoMa. Here, we have an honest to goodness B100 (or rather B99.99999) biodiesel station for autos. All the Mercedes and converted vehicle owners can rejoice at not having to drive to the East Bay or San Mateo to fill up their tanks. Even better, we can all rejoice at the fact that the station owners ge...
