    Thanks everyone for your support so far! We're still working hard on this as our deadline nears for the next issue of the San Francisco Public Press. Along those lines, we have some exciting news -- the full infographic will appear as the entire back page of the newspaper! Really big! Full color! So sweet! Here's a bit of a tease to tide you over in the meantime.

    Pier 70 teaser

    This is Pier 70 in its current incarnation, dolled up like your old favorite Choose Your Own Adventure paperbacks. I sourced a bunch of aerial photos to try to bring this baby to life, from the abandoned buildings to the pavement on the highway.

    Now for the plea: we are still not yet halfway to our goal, and we have less than two weeks of fundraising left. As you can see, a lot of hard work is going into this piece, so if you could just take a few minutes to fill out one of Spot.Us' advertiser surveys, you'd bring us that much closer to being paid a fair wage for our work. We'd greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Susie Cagle
