Bay to Breakers 2008
Here at MGW, we hold two dates with special reverence each year. First is December 28, which commemorates that day in 1912 when the A-Geary streetcar began service. Not only was it Muni’s first route, but Muni was the country’s first publicly-owned transit system. You can bet Mayor “Sunny Jim” Rolph, who conducted the first car, threw down that night.
Speaking of throwing down, the second X on our calendar is the third Sunday in May, San Francisco’sraison d’être. Bay to Breakers is Muni’s opportunity to do what it does best: cram smelly, drunk revelers into a bus and inch them across town, before there’s significant vomit or blood on the floor. Really, who goes to B2B to get drunk? Or the race? The real party is the bus ride home.
The first Bay to Breakers race was in 1912. The following year Muni was running (yes pun intended). In recognition of over 90 years of brining racers and inebriates home, MGW is constructing what will undeniably be the greatest B2B float EVER. And we’re not talking about some shitty shopping cart either. You will be impressed.
All those who share MGW’s passion for the Muni lifestyle are invited to join the show. Click here to learn how.
