While media reports this year have stressed the so-called “doom loop” in San Francisco … there’s one trio living in the Bay Area that has helped bring some JOY to 2023 … 
That’s the hit song “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton … but performing this version is a PUPPET … also named Vanessa. Her music video went viral this year. In it, she travels San Francisco, belting her tune in front of the painted ladies, the conservatory of flowers, and an illuminated nighttime Bay Bridge.
