San Francisco, CA

Popular San Francisco bagel maker Daily Driver has permanently closed the Cow Hollow location it opened in late 2023. A manager confirmed the closure to Eater over the phone on Monday, August 12, saying that business at the company’s Union Street location had been relatively slow. Founders Tamara Hicks and David Jablons opened the first location of Daily Driver in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2019, helping usher in the Bay Area’s bagel wave by serving fresh-churned cream cheese and cultured butter and cranking out thousands of hand-rolled bagels a day. Just a year later, the duo added a quick-serve bagel shop at the Ferry Building. Both locations remain open.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

It's difficult to say what defines a city as walkable. Features tend to include ample sidewalks where traffic can be avoided, nice things to look at while walking on those sidewalks, and cool attractions you can duck into to get out of the sun. But the defining feature of a walkable city is usually an online list that designates a city walkable, whether people agree or not. In this case, the walkable winner is Philadelphia, as voted by USA Today, for the second year in a row. It has some of the worst-rated traffic in the country, so perhaps locals are being encouraged to get out of the car and walk.
