In this episode of The Bay Insider, we’re heading to San Francisco’s Inner Richmond, a neighborhood with deep roots and a strong sense of community. We sit down with Patty, a longtime resident who’s called the Richmond home for more than 45 years.
Together, we talk through the neighborhood’s history, from its Irish, Russian, and Chinese influences to the diverse mix of restaurants, bakeries, and family spots you’ll find today. Expect plenty of local tips, like where to find the best produces and pastries.
We also dig into the architecture, the neighborhood’s connection to Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, and why so many people are drawn here. Whether you’re curious about the history, looking for hidden gems, or just wondering what life in Inner Richmond feels like, this episode gives you a personal look at it all.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
