Just a small hiccup for the east bay commute in san lorenzo. A car hit a light pole with a small power outage at hesperian and bachmann. 1,000 pg e customers affected so far so if you are on the way out and run and run into a blackout intersection, treat it as a fourway stop.

Just walk down bourbon street and they just throw the beads at you. Its just insane. Thats all i did. I promise. You stand along the parade route they throw them off the float. Like i said, 150 to 200,000 people are expected to come here for the super bowl. The city is expected to rake in more than 400 million just from tourism alone. Also benefitting from this hype is San Francisco. Cbs 5 reporter Elissa Harrington is live in San Francisco checking out the booth for our city. No beads here in San Francisco but fans who stayed behind are counting down until sunday, very excited. The 49ers jetted off to new orleans yesterday and even though the host city of news is expected to rake in big bucks this weekend, San Francisco should get a boost. Economists estimate the super bowl in new orleans will bring in 435 million for that city. Another estimate claims that people in the hometown of super bowl contender like San Francisco also get a boost, an income boost of 120 a year in personal income. For the 49ers ravens faceoff fans throughout the country are expected to spend 11 billion on super bowl purchases from t shirts to tv sets to beer. It is good for the economy,absolutely. There is a relationship between mood and spending and when people feel good they spend more. They feel good right now. They feel really good right now. Very excited. Reporter people in San Francisco are feeling good with the 49ers heading to the super bowl for the First Time Since 1995. Psychology suggests that winning fans are big spenders and that means a winning season and winning the super bowl would be good for the economy in the bay area.
