She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]You see them everywhere in San Francisco: luxury doggy daycares and hotels, dog gyms, dog spas, even dog bakeries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s pretty clear that San Francisco loves dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, in honor of our furry companions, we’re going to be answering a few questions about dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do San Franciscans Have More Dogs or Children?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve lived in San Francisco for more than a few months, you’ve probably heard the oft-repeated line: There are more dogs than children in San Francisco. But is it true?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there are less children in San Francisco than a typical city due to the many reasons it’s hard to raise them in the city,” says Bay Curious listener Michele Speck. “But I also think it’s hard to have a dog in this city. So that’s what makes me question if there are actually more dogs than children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Answer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The saying is true! There are more dogs than children in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/\">the American Community Survey\u003c/a>, in 2016 there were about 115,000 children under 18 living in the city. At the same time, San Francisco Animal Care and Control estimated there were about 120,000 to 150,000 dogs in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, getting into why there are more dogs than children in San Francisco is a bit more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>There Aren’t Many Children in S.F.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Turns out that San Francisco is not barking mad for dogs. It actually just doesn’t have very many children. San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children of any major city, according to U.S. census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 18 percent of households in San Francisco have children under 19, whereas nationwide the average is 29.4 percent. You might think it has to do with city life, but that isn’t the case. In Los Angeles, 33.4 percent of households have children, and in New York City it’s 30.5 percent. The only other city where fewer than 20 percent of households have kids is Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669286\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg\" alt=\"A child hugs a pug.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child hugs a pug. \u003ccite>(Liz Randall/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since 2010 there has been a slight increase in the number of children under 5, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The question is whether or not the families of these newborns will stay in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing is one factor that might determine whether young families stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, 61 percent of new market rate development has been studios and one-bedroom units, predominantly in larger buildings, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/Family_Friendly_Briefing_01-17-17_FINAL.pdf\">San Francisco Planning Department\u003c/a>. So, despite the creation of new housing, the majority of it isn’t built for families. As for the family-friendly housing that already exists — which includes dwellings of all kinds, from apartments to detached single-family homes — currently only 30 percent of units with three or more bedrooms are occupied by families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Has S.F. gone to the dogs?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While we have solid data on kids, the data on dogs are harder to come by. Though owners are required to register dogs, very few do. Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for Animal Care and Control, says it estimates that fewer than 30 percent of dogs in the city are registered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To calculate the number of dogs in San Francisco, Animal Care and Control relies on an estimate based on how many people live in San Francisco. The American Veterinary Medical Association puts out one such \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/US-pet-ownership-calculator.aspx\">tool. \u003c/a>It uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/Market-research-statistics-US-pet-ownership.aspx\">survey data\u003c/a> and census data to measure the percentage of people who are likely to own a cat, dog, horse or bird. Every few years it updates the formula, and is currently working on that now, said Assistant Director Sharon Granskog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, such tools often rely heavily on national data. For instance, they estimate that about 1.5 percent of households in a community own horses, but there are probably not 13,408 horses in San Francisco. To get San Francisco dog estimates, Animal Care and Control uses several formulas to determine how many dogs are in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669287\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669287\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"A child and a dog.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child and a dog. \u003ccite>(mliu92/flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And lucky for us, there are other researchers looking into pet data, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/solutions/capabilities/scarborough-local.html\">Scarborough Research 2017 survey\u003c/a> (a branch of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html\">Nielsen\u003c/a>) found that while San Franciscans are certainly dog enthusiasts, they are less likely to own a dog than the average American.

One, it’s the law. Both \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=54.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/29/794\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal law\u003c/a> prohibit public agencies from denying service or charging a person with a disability more to use their service, which means service animals must be allowed onto public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if all public transit agencies are covered by the same laws, why does only Muni have such a sign while BART and Caltrain don’t?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives at the SFMTA can’t remember the specific incident that led the agency to put up the signs, but spokesman Paul Rose says it was likely the result of someone being told they couldn’t bring their service dog on board because there were already other service dogs on the bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Muni likely wanted to make it clear that all service dogs were welcome by installing additional signage,” Rose says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Kremer really wants to know is how many dogs we could fit inside a Muni train. She imagines it like a seven-layer dip of dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To figure this out, we’re going to use Bay Curious producer Suzie Racho’s yorkie terrier pup, Luna. (You can follow Luna on Instagram \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sflunapup/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@sflunapup\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg6kYn7BoAO/?taken-by=sflunapup\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two ways to do this math: by weight and by volume.

At the same time, San Francisco Animal Care and Control estimated there were about 120,000 to 150,000 dogs in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, getting into why there are more dogs than children in San Francisco is a bit more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>There Aren’t Many Children in S.F.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Turns out that San Francisco is not barking mad for dogs. It actually just doesn’t have very many children. San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children of any major city, according to U.S. census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 18 percent of households in San Francisco have children under 19, whereas nationwide the average is 29.4 percent. You might think it has to do with city life, but that isn’t the case. In Los Angeles, 33.4 percent of households have children, and in New York City it’s 30.5 percent. The only other city where fewer than 20 percent of households have kids is Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669286\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg\" alt=\"A child hugs a pug.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child hugs a pug. \u003ccite>(Liz Randall/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since 2010 there has been a slight increase in the number of children under 5, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The question is whether or not the families of these newborns will stay in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing is one factor that might determine whether young families stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, 61 percent of new market rate development has been studios and one-bedroom units, predominantly in larger buildings, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/Family_Friendly_Briefing_01-17-17_FINAL.pdf\">San Francisco Planning Department\u003c/a>. So, despite the creation of new housing, the majority of it isn’t built for families. As for the family-friendly housing that already exists — which includes dwellings of all kinds, from apartments to detached single-family homes — currently only 30 percent of units with three or more bedrooms are occupied by families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Has S.F. gone to the dogs?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While we have solid data on kids, the data on dogs are harder to come by. Though owners are required to register dogs, very few do. Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for Animal Care and Control, says it estimates that fewer than 30 percent of dogs in the city are registered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To calculate the number of dogs in San Francisco, Animal Care and Control relies on an estimate based on how many people live in San Francisco. The American Veterinary Medical Association puts out one such \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/US-pet-ownership-calculator.aspx\">tool. \u003c/a>It uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/Market-research-statistics-US-pet-ownership.aspx\">survey data\u003c/a> and census data to measure the percentage of people who are likely to own a cat, dog, horse or bird. Every few years it updates the formula, and is currently working on that now, said Assistant Director Sharon Granskog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, such tools often rely heavily on national data. For instance, they estimate that about 1.5 percent of households in a community own horses, but there are probably not 13,408 horses in San Francisco. To get San Francisco dog estimates, Animal Care and Control uses several formulas to determine how many dogs are in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669287\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669287\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"A child and a dog.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child and a dog. \u003ccite>(mliu92/flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And lucky for us, there are other researchers looking into pet data, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/solutions/capabilities/scarborough-local.html\">Scarborough Research 2017 survey\u003c/a> (a branch of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html\">Nielsen\u003c/a>) found that while San Franciscans are certainly dog enthusiasts, they are less likely to own a dog than the average American.

She imagines it like a seven-layer dip of dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To figure this out, we’re going to use Bay Curious producer Suzie Racho’s yorkie terrier pup, Luna.

They were pop-up parties — part car show, part block party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They first bubbled up in mall parking lots of Deep East Oakland in the 1980s, says Sean Kennedy, a multimedia producer and local hip-hop historian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems like it started when hip-hop first got out here,” Kennedy says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I meet him at the entrance to the Foods Co in Foothill Square. It’s so deep into East Oakland it is almost San Leandro. Kennedy says \u003cem>this\u003c/em> is where it all began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a carnival that used to exist right here in Foothill Square, because there was a skating rink right here,” he says. “All the people would come down here to the skating rink and the carnival. They would bring their best cars and just cruise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BiSRaXAnKGt/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy says that what many people think of as a sideshow these days, all doughnuts and destruction, was not the way it began. Back then, “no one did doughnuts or spun their cars.” It was just peacocking, showing off the cars that were the pride and joy of many — mostly male — residents. “That,” Kennedy says, “was the original sideshow of East Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People had cruised around in their souped-up Chevys before, but it was as if the introduction of the new music taught the cars to dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sideshows spread, Kennedy says, they became a sort of cultural marketplace. People repped parties, hawked homemade fashion lines and shared the latest beats and music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was always firmly rooted in a sense of place, Kennedy says. “It’s in the soil. For some reason the air here in East Oakland breeds that kind of creativity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"line-height: 1.09091\">The Sideshow as Cultural Marketplace\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakpasua Zazaboi documented sideshows across East Oakland for his documentary series “Sydewayz.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Zazaboi, sideshows were part craft fair, part improv performance, and always a place to catch the cultural zeitgeist. The sideshows, he says, were not just part of Oakland’s unique hyphy culture: They formed the space in which \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/djs_t8MSvfw?t=58\">hyphy\u003c/a> was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You would come out and you would really understand what is popular in Oakland,” Zazaboi says. A key part of that was the music. “I think for about three or four years straight, we used to hear this song by a group called 3X Krazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3x Krazy- Keep It On The Real\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/elVWQn_b1-M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just a baseline and it was so popular and would sound so good on really nice audio systems, it was almost like a sideshow theme,” Zazaboi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to name his pick for the theme of the sideshows, Sean Kennedy says there is really only one: Richie Rich’s sideshow song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that’s a classic when it comes to explaining the sideshow, in the early days,” says Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can hear the whole sideshow in Richie Rich’s deep and sonorous voice. “In Oakland, California,” he raps, “every Saturday night brothers be riding, straight-laced zeniths, drop-tops, buckets, high performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music might have been the lifeblood of the sideshow but, according to Kennedy, the heart pumping that blood was the neighborhood’s deep-rooted car culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Car Culture and the Sideshow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668427\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11668427\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png\" alt=\"A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-160x160.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-800x800.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1180x1180.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-960x960.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-240x240.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-375x375.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-520x520.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-150x150.png 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM.png 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service \u003ccite>(@a1springservice/Instagram)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ruben Flores greets a customer whose car he has just modified at A-1 Spring Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was — and still is — the go-to place to bring your car for modifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flores, who went to Castlemont, the neighborhood high school, got the job straight out of school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The owner of the shop, he was losing a man, a mechanic, so he came down to the high school to ask about the auto shop program,” Flores says.

Long before pop-up events was even a term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy acknowledges his perspective has changed with age. Now that he has a few years on him, he is a little more weary of making cars spin like whirling dervishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As much as I love sideshows,” he says, “it’s a dangerous culture when it comes to spinning around a half-a-ton vehicle with no barriers and people standing there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why Kennedy, among others, supported a push to legalize sideshows that gained some ground in the late 2000s. The suggestion was to bring sideshows out of the shadows and turn them into neighborhood street parties. They could even make money, proponents argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents, like City Councilman Larry Reid, who represents Deep East Oakland, countered that it was folly for the city to sanction an illegal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid says the sideshows slowed down for a bit, but they seem to have picked up once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask Yakpasua Zazaboi, he will say what is happening now is not even a real sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I break it down like this now,” Zazaboi says. “This is how you know it’s a sideshow. If there are clean cars and women out there, you might have a sideshow. If it’s a bunch of buckets and a whole bunch of dudes clowning around looking at each other — you do not have sideshow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The definition of just what makes a sideshow is constantly in flux. Every generation has its own version, just like every sideshow has people who say it is either a criminal act or a space for the creation of culture. Maybe, just maybe, there is a little bit of both, hanging out at the sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Back then, “no one did doughnuts or spun their cars.” It was just peacocking, showing off the cars that were the pride and joy of many — mostly male — residents. “That,” Kennedy says, “was the original sideshow of East Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People had cruised around in their souped-up Chevys before, but it was as if the introduction of the new music taught the cars to dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sideshows spread, Kennedy says, they became a sort of cultural marketplace. People repped parties, hawked homemade fashion lines and shared the latest beats and music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was always firmly rooted in a sense of place, Kennedy says. “It’s in the soil. For some reason the air here in East Oakland breeds that kind of creativity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"line-height: 1.09091\">The Sideshow as Cultural Marketplace\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yakpasua Zazaboi documented sideshows across East Oakland for his documentary series “Sydewayz.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Zazaboi, sideshows were part craft fair, part improv performance, and always a place to catch the cultural zeitgeist. The sideshows, he says, were not just part of Oakland’s unique hyphy culture: They formed the space in which \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/djs_t8MSvfw?t=58\">hyphy\u003c/a> was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You would come out and you would really understand what is popular in Oakland,” Zazaboi says. A key part of that was the music. “I think for about three or four years straight, we used to hear this song by a group called 3X Krazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3x Krazy- Keep It On The Real\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/elVWQn_b1-M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just a baseline and it was so popular and would sound so good on really nice audio systems, it was almost like a sideshow theme,” Zazaboi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to name his pick for the theme of the sideshows, Sean Kennedy says there is really only one: Richie Rich’s sideshow song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that’s a classic when it comes to explaining the sideshow, in the early days,” says Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can hear the whole sideshow in Richie Rich’s deep and sonorous voice. “In Oakland, California,” he raps, “every Saturday night brothers be riding, straight-laced zeniths, drop-tops, buckets, high performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music might have been the lifeblood of the sideshow but, according to Kennedy, the heart pumping that blood was the neighborhood’s deep-rooted car culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Car Culture and the Sideshow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668427\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11668427\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png\" alt=\"A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1020x1020.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-160x160.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-800x800.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-1180x1180.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-960x960.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-240x240.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-375x375.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-520x520.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM-150x150.png 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-12.23.57-PM.png 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A car sitting outside A-1 Spring Service \u003ccite>(@a1springservice/Instagram)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ruben Flores greets a customer whose car he has just modified at A-1 Spring Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was — and still is — the go-to place to bring your car for modifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flores, who went to Castlemont, the neighborhood high school, got the job straight out of school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The owner of the shop, he was losing a man, a mechanic, so he came down to the high school to ask about the auto shop program,” Flores says.

Long before pop-up events was even a term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy acknowledges his perspective has changed with age. Now that he has a few years on him, he is a little more weary of making cars spin like whirling dervishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As much as I love sideshows,” he says, “it’s a dangerous culture when it comes to spinning around a half-a-ton vehicle with no barriers and people standing there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why Kennedy, among others, supported a push to legalize sideshows that gained some ground in the late 2000s. The suggestion was to bring sideshows out of the shadows and turn them into neighborhood street parties. They could even make money, proponents argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents, like City Councilman Larry Reid, who represents Deep East Oakland, countered that it was folly for the city to sanction an illegal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reid says the sideshows slowed down for a bit, but they seem to have picked up once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask Yakpasua Zazaboi, he will say what is happening now is not even a real sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I break it down like this now,” Zazaboi says. “This is how you know it’s a sideshow. If there are clean cars and women out there, you might have a sideshow. If it’s a bunch of buckets and a whole bunch of dudes clowning around looking at each other — you do not have sideshow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The definition of just what makes a sideshow is constantly in flux. Every generation has its own version, just like every sideshow has people who say it is either a criminal act or a space for the creation of culture. Maybe, just maybe, there is a little bit of both, hanging out at the sideshow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My Lolo, my grandfather, got a job working for the U.S. military. My Lolo and Lola (grandmother) saw that as the ultimate opportunity to provide a path for education and opportunity for their kids and their entire family. I feel lucky that they took that risk and that there was a path to citizenship for them at the time. Our whole family benefited and grew from that. My mom has dedicated really her life’s work towards helping immigrant students, many of whom are undocumented Dreamers. It just felt like a no-brainer to me that so many of these young people should not be turned away or sent away. It just felt like I needed to do something and that my music could lend a voice. Without a doubt, my advocacy for Dreamers was affected by my mom’s work and her values.\u003c/p>\n\n",

My mom has these long beautiful slender fingers and these long nails. I got my grandma’s hands, which are meaty and wide, and that’s a big part of, I think, why I was able to pick up guitar quickly.

My Lolo, my grandfather, got a job working for the U.S. military. My Lolo and Lola (grandmother) saw that as the ultimate opportunity to provide a path for education and opportunity for their kids and their entire family. I feel lucky that they took that risk and that there was a path to citizenship for them at the time. Our whole family benefited and grew from that. My mom has dedicated really her life’s work towards helping immigrant students, many of whom are undocumented Dreamers. It just felt like a no-brainer to me that so many of these young people should not be turned away or sent away. It just felt like I needed to do something and that my music could lend a voice. Without a doubt, my advocacy for Dreamers was affected by my mom’s work and her values.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Craigslist recently removed their personals section, but when Grace first changed careers, that’s where she found most of her clients, including a man who lived nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I drove to his house in my little Prius — my little mom mobile — and then I got out and clip-clopped inside with my heels and shoved my foot down his throat,” she says, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was given $300 as a “tribute,” she says, making it very clear that this wasn’t a payment of any kind. In that moment, she became a dominatrix and took the title: Goddess Grace Marie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Grace says, “People come to me for anything you can possibly think of. I’ve done scenes that are very light and innocent, like tickle torture scenes, adult baby scenes — anything from that, ranging to more hardcore scenes where there’s pain involved. Maybe sometimes there might be blood or feces involved. Some scenes can get to be really hardcore, but you know — that’s just who you’re talking to because what’s hardcore to one person is BDSM-lite to another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(BDSM is an overlapping abbreviation that refers to a group of fetishes: bondage and discipline; dominance and submission; sadism and masochism. It is often used as an umbrella term for any kind of fetish or kink.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no traditional sex involved, but it’s most certainly sex work. And Grace loved it from the start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first time you get $300 for an hour’s worth of work, when you’ve been working a $20 per hour job here in L.A., it’s kind of a rush, you know?” says Grace. “Suddenly you’re like, ‘Oh my God, finally they’re paying me what I’m worth. I’m obviously a goddess. This is it, I’ve arrived.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11667974\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11667974\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-800x838.jpg\" alt=\"Grace Marie is a mom, and a daughter, and has to navigate both of those relationships after choosing to become a dominatrix in Los Angeles.\" width=\"800\" height=\"838\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-800x838.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-160x168.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-1020x1068.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-1146x1200.jpg 1146w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-1180x1236.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-960x1006.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-240x251.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-375x393.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GracePink-520x545.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grace Marie is a mom, and a daughter, and has to navigate both of those relationships after choosing to become a dominatrix in Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Grace Marie)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Mom’s Initial Reaction\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But if Grace felt like she had arrived, Pat — her mother — felt like she needed deliverance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt sad, and I felt mad.

Her budget was tight, and she put in long hours. Grace spent a lot of time with babysitters. Two of those babysitters molested Grace. The first incident happened when she was only 6 years old. Both molesters were teenage male babysitters. Neither were ever reported to the authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grace recalls an incident when she was 9: “He told me that he was my boyfriend, but that we couldn’t tell anybody because the world is what it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The physical things we were doing didn’t bother me. It didn’t go too far,” she says, noting that it was emotional abuse that took a toll on her, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then that sort of shaped my worldview on what love is,” Grace said. She said she continued to have abusive relationships into adulthood, which she blames on the abuse she suffered as a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I didn’t think it was going to be this deep, therapeutic experience, but that’s what it really became.’\u003ccite>Anonymous client of Grace’s\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“That mindfuck imprint was left on me. So I need to find a container for that,” she said. “It can live in the BDSM world if it’s done well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not every abuse survivor will go on to become a dominatrix. But for Grace, it makes her feel safe around men again. It helps her feel in control. It makes her feel like someone is there to take care of her. Someone who worships her, like a goddess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a patron shows up on the first of the month with a stack of cash to show me that they want me to be safe with a roof over my head, and with food in my fridge, and with everything I need for the month — that helps,” Grace said. “That helps restore faith in human beings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just Grace who’s helped by her work. One of her patrons, who asked not to be named and refused to have his voice taped for this story, said Grace helped him build a closer relationship with his sons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t think it was going to be this deep, therapeutic experience, but that’s what it really became,” the client says.

Grace explained to him that there were certain people who wanted certain sensations and she was a person who could help them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discovery and ensuing explanation was a non-event for James.

She was raised in the Midwest with a devout Catholic family, including an uncle who was a priest. She didn’t understand what would drive her daughter to do this, though she thought about it a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought about emotional detachment, I thought about revenge against men in general,” she says. “I thought about control — always being in control, always being on the giving end of the pain instead of the receiving end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why BDSM Work Is Healing for Grace — and Her Clients\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Pat raised Grace as a single mom while working in management for a school district. Her budget was tight, and she put in long hours. Grace spent a lot of time with babysitters. Two of those babysitters molested Grace. The first incident happened when she was only 6 years old. Both molesters were teenage male babysitters. Neither were ever reported to the authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grace recalls an incident when she was 9: “He told me that he was my boyfriend, but that we couldn’t tell anybody because the world is what it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The physical things we were doing didn’t bother me. It didn’t go too far,” she says, noting that it was emotional abuse that took a toll on her, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then that sort of shaped my worldview on what love is,” Grace said. She said she continued to have abusive relationships into adulthood, which she blames on the abuse she suffered as a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I didn’t think it was going to be this deep, therapeutic experience, but that’s what it really became.’\u003ccite>Anonymous client of Grace’s\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“That mindfuck imprint was left on me. So I need to find a container for that,” she said. “It can live in the BDSM world if it’s done well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not every abuse survivor will go on to become a dominatrix. But for Grace, it makes her feel safe around men again. It helps her feel in control. It makes her feel like someone is there to take care of her. Someone who worships her, like a goddess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a patron shows up on the first of the month with a stack of cash to show me that they want me to be safe with a roof over my head, and with food in my fridge, and with everything I need for the month — that helps,” Grace said. “That helps restore faith in human beings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just Grace who’s helped by her work. One of her patrons, who asked not to be named and refused to have his voice taped for this story, said Grace helped him build a closer relationship with his sons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t think it was going to be this deep, therapeutic experience, but that’s what it really became,” the client says. He’s been seeing Grace for the past two years, starting when his wife of 30 years left him unexpectedly.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13827641/the-hustle-an-artist-and-sex-worker-taking-charge-of-her-business\">The Hustle: An Artist and Sex Worker Taking Charge of Her Business\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13827641/the-hustle-an-artist-and-sex-worker-taking-charge-of-her-business\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/03/KQED_Arabelle_Raphael_3_COVER-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“[Grace] allowed me to find a vulnerability in myself that I avoided at all costs, in every aspect of my life, which made me really closed off and isolated,” he say.

The final product must have a mirror finish background, so the artwork is carefully protected before the dies are put into a polishing machine. Frosted details are laser-etched onto the image, and then the die is put into a machine that bonds a thin layer of chrome to strengthen the die.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>The Pressroom\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>This is where the coins are actually stamped. The machines can be adjusted to apply the appropriate pressure to mint every coin denomination. A penny needs 54 metric tons of pressure, whereas larger coins can require up to 110 metric tons of pressure. Each coin is stamped one at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Packaging\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>A series of 13 robotic arms and eyes inspect and package the coins. Human hands will not mar the gloss of these perfect coins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coin collectors, also known as numismatists, can purchase the coins on the U.S. Mint website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery ids=\"11667433,11667431,11667435,11667432,11667436,11667439,11667481\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Moving On Up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The big gray building on Market St. was not always the location of the San Francisco Mint. It’s actually the third location. The first building, called the Branch Mint, opened in 1854 in response to the California Gold Rush. The discovery of the Nevada Comstock Lode and a growing population increased demand on this Mint, and so a new one was constructed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1874, the Mint moved into a larger building on Fifth Street in the city’s South of Market neighborhood. This location is now called the “Old Mint” or the “Granite Lady.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 1906 earthquake struck, the Old Mint was the only financial institution to survive. It became integral to the reconstruction of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1937 the Mint moved to its present location. It made circulating coins up until 1974, with a special run of Susan B. Anthony dollar coins produced between 1979 and 1981. If you dig through your change jar, you may be able to find some coins made in the city. They’ll have a small “S” mint mark on the front. Coins with a “D” were manufactured in Denver, and those with a “P” or no mint mark were manufactured in Philadelphia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11667474\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11667474\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-800x869.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-800x869.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-160x174.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-1020x1108.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-1105x1200.jpg 1105w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-1180x1282.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-960x1043.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-240x261.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-375x407.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-520x565.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mint marks: A Philadelphia quarter, Denver dime, and a penny made right in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Amanda Font/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The blanks that pass inspection are heated to 1500 °F to soften the metal, and are then washed and polished to give them a mirror finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Die Preparation\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The stamps (called dies) used to press images onto the coins arrive unfinished from the Denver facility. The final product must have a mirror finish background, so the artwork is carefully protected before the dies are put into a polishing machine. Frosted details are laser-etched onto the image, and then the die is put into a machine that bonds a thin layer of chrome to strengthen the die.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>The Pressroom\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>This is where the coins are actually stamped. The machines can be adjusted to apply the appropriate pressure to mint every coin denomination. A penny needs 54 metric tons of pressure, whereas larger coins can require up to 110 metric tons of pressure. Each coin is stamped one at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Packaging\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>A series of 13 robotic arms and eyes inspect and package the coins. Human hands will not mar the gloss of these perfect coins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coin collectors, also known as numismatists, can purchase the coins on the U.S. Mint website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s actually the third location. The first building, called the Branch Mint, opened in 1854 in response to the California Gold Rush. The discovery of the Nevada Comstock Lode and a growing population increased demand on this Mint, and so a new one was constructed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1874, the Mint moved into a larger building on Fifth Street in the city’s South of Market neighborhood. This location is now called the “Old Mint” or the “Granite Lady.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 1906 earthquake struck, the Old Mint was the only financial institution to survive. It became integral to the reconstruction of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1937 the Mint moved to its present location. It made circulating coins up until 1974, with a special run of Susan B. Anthony dollar coins produced between 1979 and 1981. If you dig through your change jar, you may be able to find some coins made in the city. They’ll have a small “S” mint mark on the front. Coins with a “D” were manufactured in Denver, and those with a “P” or no mint mark were manufactured in Philadelphia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11667474\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11667474\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-800x869.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-800x869.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-160x174.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-1020x1108.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-1105x1200.jpg 1105w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-1180x1282.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-960x1043.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-240x261.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-375x407.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Mint-Marks-520x565.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mint marks: A Philadelphia quarter, Denver dime, and a penny made right in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Amanda Font/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
