Curious about the San Francisco Bay Area? With explorations into unique local legends, interesting landmarks, and uncovered histories, Bay Curious is a fun, quirky guide to the secret stories of the San Francisco Bay Area for visitors, newcomers, and California natives alike.
Who was America's first and only Emperor? Why are there ships buried under the streets of San Francisco? And was the word "hella" really created in the East Bay? Bay Curious brings you the answers to these questions and much more through fun and fascinating illustrated deep dives into hidden gems of Bay Area trivia, history, and culture.
Based on the award-winning KQED podcast of the same name, Bay Curious brings a fresh eye to some of its most popular stories and expands to cover stories unique to this book. With subjects ranging from Marin's redwood forests to the Winchester Mystery House, from the Black Panther Party's school program to the invention of the Mai Tai, Bay Curious gives you the entertaining and informative, weird and wonderful true stories of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Olivia Allen-Price is the editor and host of KQED's Bay Curious podcast. With previous roles at the Baltimore Sun and the Virginian-Pilot, she has more than a decade of experience in journalism and digital media. Olivia is an avid runner and hiker, and loves exploring the Bay Area she now calls home.
