Letters from our Readers: Here’s a better location for SF History Museum

If the Exploratorium relocates to piers 15 to 17 along The Embarcadero by 2012, perhaps its former location at the Palace of Fine Arts would be ideal for the San Francisco History Museum. Read More

Letters from our Readers: New Bay Bridge should be on the top of the list

I joined thousands of Americans across the country in celebrating the 16th annual National Public Lands Day on Saturday. The National Environmental Education Foundation estimated that more than 100,000 volunteers nationwide participated by working to make our national forests, monuments, wildlife refuges and parks better places by planting trees, repairing trails, cleaning campsites and picking trash out of rivers and wetlands.

Letters from our Readers: Column endorsed thuggish behavior

I am surprised that The San Francisco Examiner published a column supporting Rep. Joe Wilson’s embarrassing outburst during President Barack Obama’s speech before Congress. Read More
