How to watch the eclipse (if you aren't headed to Oregon)

By Graph Massara via SF Gate On Aug. 21, many lucky Americans will witness a total solar eclipse. In California, we'll get to see just a partial eclipse.

It is, after all, the first total solar eclipse to cut across the continental U.S. in nearly a century. The Exploratorium will be livestreaming the eclipse from two points on the so-called “path of totality,” a 70-mile-wid

Inside the Most Rebellious Victorian on Alamo Square

By Erin Feher Skeeter Jones is a historical preservationist who doesn’t necessarily believe that history always gets it right the first time. For this Victorian architecture expert, those candy-colored houses exploding with sunbursts and cornices and wrapped in winding balustrades were the result of art, not science. And for the last 35 years, Jones has been working as an artist disguised in a lab coat. “Currently you have to fight the city to build anything Victorian—if ther
