Park Better, Neighbors

by Andrew Dalton on November 21, 2010

Neighborhood reader Jeremy submitted some street poetry he spotted at Central and Fulton:
“UNIMPRESSED
W/ THIS PARKING
JOB
Share the Street Douchebag!”
It’s kind of lovely, really. Like Gertrude Stein for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Bonus authenticity points for looking like it got run over a few times already.

by Andrew Dalton on September 16, 2010

Add this one to the long list of things that makes San Francisco SUPER COOL and AWESOMELY PRETENTIOUS at the same time.

Fixing Fell Street Kind of Broke Fell Street Yesterday

by Andrew Dalton on August 24, 2010

Yesterday morning the neighborhood’s cheapest gas station, the dastardly Arco at Fell and Divis was closed for some portion of the morning. Unfortunately for the cyclists, the Fix Fell people didn’t successfully shutdown the pelican-smothering, bike lane-trespassers just yet (the pumps reopened later in the afternoon), but more importantly I think it’s important to point [...]

Mojo Wants You To Drink on Divisadero, Bay to Breakers Doesn’t

by Andrew Dalton on August 3, 2010

The June/July gloom has been keeping us down a little bit here at Aggressive Panhandler HQ (a tent in the panhandle, you’ll recall), but August has so far turned out pretty sunny, so naturally we’re thinking about the best places to drink beers outside. Aforementioned malaise has kept us from following any recent Bay to [...]

Fell & Divis Arco Owner Kind-of Assaulted BP Protester Maybe.

by Andrew Dalton on June 21, 2010

So it turns out the Arco/BP Shutdown party wasn’t just a one time thing and the Facebook Revolutionaries behind the protest are doing this weekly now (who knew?).  More importantly though, last Friday’s protest not only angered a lot of drivers, but it apparently pissed off Arco Station owner Larry Armstrong who, according to facebook [...]

by Andrew Dalton on May 28, 2010

After hearing the announcement on Wednesday that ING would be dropping their Bay to Breakers sponsorship, the fine Citizens for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers (Why do we always put a 2 in there? That’s stupid.) put together this data-filled press release/blog post detailing why Bay to Breakers (Or “B2B”, barf you please) will still be [...]

Well, I Hope You’re Happy, Neighbors (Also, Frat Boys)

by Andrew Dalton on May 26, 2010

This morning, the Chronicle, SFAppeal, SFist and your friend who doesn’t even live in San Francisco all reported that ING has pulled out of their Bay to Breakers sponsorship. The reasons for halting the bankroll? Well, it’s all unofficial rumors, but apparently, “ING is fed up with all the bad publicity that the race has [...]

Another Cyclist-Motorist Collision in the Neighborhood at Fulton and Arguello

by Andrew Dalton on May 24, 2010

Mike over at IBikeNoPa reports that another cyclist has been struck by a motorist in the neighborhood. This time it’s not at the Masonic and Fell intersection that’s been causing so many problems (mostly for drivers) lately. Instead the accident, reported by local Matthew Brill, occurred around 2:45pm on Sunday at Fulton st. and Arguello [...]

KKKatie Taken Down, Or: How Not to be a “Street Artist”

by Andrew Dalton on May 20, 2010

We talked briefly before about KKKatie (real name: Katherine Dunbar), the aggressive and reportedly unbalanced tagger with a love for misappropriating political symbols. Today, our friends over at the Appeal reported that she’s been busted, with the court piling on five counts of felony vandalism with hate crimes allegations, four misdemeanor vandalism counts, a couple [...]
