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.
Add this one to the long list of things that makes San Francisco SUPER COOL and AWESOMELY PRETENTIOUS at the same time. Paolo over on Inside Scoop points us to an article on the front cover of today’s Datebook about our favorite place to eat locally-sourced rabbit legs and wait for Sean Penn to grace [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s officially award season! That magical time of the year when everyone briefly cares about printed versions of the websites they sometimes go to. Last week we had SF Weekly’s Best of 2010, which we discussed, and now this week 7×7 Magazine has birthed their own little bundle of joy. Because you’re a busy person [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
