It’s been awhile since we’ve done one of these not-so-daily photo features, but this gem from Page & Divis by the always delightful Tenderloin Geographic Society is too good to let slide. I’ve been so conditioned to look at half-assed street art that I almost didn’t notice the donut.
As we mentioned yesterday today is PARK(ing) Day, where a bunch of people around the city will be occupying parking spaces in the name of reclaiming public green space, etc, etc. We could sit around and declare this a Bike People vs. Car People thing or whatever, but at the end of the day, it [...]
Apropos of nothing other than AggPan’s selfish desire to be the #1 Google result for “Gavin’s Hair” – here is said Hair at James Denman Middle School:
I hope that’s a Venti Green Tea, Mr. Mayor, I heard about your problem with “coffee”.

It’s so hot outside, no one even wants to sit out on the sidewalk seating along Divis, but judging from this recently scrawled note in the Bean Bag Cafe bathroom, some brave soul toughed out the heat for long enough to pen a heartfelt goodbye to our rehabbed thoroughfare:

I’ve noticed this dirt-cheap hot dog offer in the past (which may or may not be related to the hot dog cart guy that hangs out in front of the Independent), but now they’ve got a table and chairs out in front of the convenience store at the 76 Station. Because if there’s one thing [...]

Just needed an excuse to use that “Gavin’s Hair” tag again. Move along…

Because we’d hate to see the whole internet become one big blog about tagging, here’s a guy hard at work removing some 19-year old’s scribblings from the window of Five Star Truffles on Divis.
Now, here would be a good place to go on a rant about how making a bunch of loopy, indecipherable letters on [...]
Mike Giant posted some photos from his art opening/friend’s brithday party at Bender’s last week, which I know isn’t technically in the neighborhood, but Giant was our neighbor for the lognest time, so I’m contractually obligated to post photos from any of his events. It’s not so bad when they’re gems like the one of [...]
