Here are some local links to round out your week…

Supervisor Sandra Fewer spilled the beans at a recent PAR meeting that Barrel Head Brewhouse is taking over the former Pizza Orgasmica space at 823 Clement. The space is currently under construction but we don’t know when they will open. The brewery, which also offers a “Hoppy Hours” plus a brunch and dinner menu, has a location at 1785 Fulton. Other news that Fewer shared: a grocery chain is planning to move into the old Fresh N’ Easy at 32nd and Clement (but it’s not Trader Joes).

If you live in the Richmond District, you pretty much know when it’s foggy at the beach just by looking up; but not ALWAYS. A local resident has built a handy website to help settle the debate called “Fog Today” (http://fog.today). The site uses images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s geostationary Earth-observation satellite which makes it abundantly clear when there is a thick blanket over the coast, or skies are clear. The site updates every 5-10 minutes and lets you look at the previous 2 hours, or the loop of the previous day. So no more getting caught without your layers! [SFist] P.S. – And there’s always the original, ever-reliable OB-KC.com website which has a cam perched at Ocean Beach.

Starting this Sunday, the Internet Archive (300 Funston) is hosting free screenings of the PBS documentary series “American Epic“, which chronicles the first time the ordinary people of America were given the opportunity to make 78 records. “The recordings they made of all the ethnic groups of America democratized the nation and gave a voice to everyone. Country singers in the Appalachians, Blues guitarists in the Mississippi Delta, Gospel preachers across the south, Cajun fiddlers in Louisiana, Tejano groups from the Texas Mexico border, Native American drummers in Arizona, and Hawaiian musicians were all recorded.” The free screenings are this Sunday, July 30 and next Sunday, August 6 starting at 7pm.
