Target Pop-Up Store Projecting Commercials on Fell St.

by Andrew Dalton on December 9, 2009

We’ve seen some pretty weird marketing efforts in San Francisco before, but this is a new one to me at least. That Target-to-Go seasonal pop-up store opening in Mint Plaza that CurbedSF reported on has some little elves setting up an LCD projector in the parking lot of the Chevron at Fell and Masonic. The [...]

Your December Mirkarimi Moment

by Andrew Dalton on December 9, 2009

Somewhere along the line AggroPa editors got added to supervisor Ross Mirkarimi’s “District Five Report” email newsletter. Who knows when or why, but whenever we get ‘em we’ll share ‘em.

I’m not really sure if I got the November issue of Supe Mirkarimi’s District Five Report, but no one cares because it’s December now and homeboy [...]

Dead Dog Afternoon

by Andrew Dalton on December 1, 2009

Earlier today, around 1pm I grabbed my camera to head to the Conservatory of Flowers and take some cheesy closeups of orchids because it’s Free Museum Tuesday. On my walk through the Panhandle, however, there were a couple squad cars and officers shaking down the usual dubiously homeless people by the basketball courts. Nothing too [...]

Woe is B’s

by Andrew Dalton on November 23, 2009

If you’ve been wondering why Divis has smelled slightly less like delicious barbecue for the past month, EaterSF has your answer. It seems B’s BBQ won’t be coming back from their “temporary hiatus” that started earlier this month. Instead it looks like their selling the whole deal. I guess not even having a clean bathroom [...]

by Andrew Dalton on November 18, 2009

Do you live in San Francisco? (I hope so, otherwise a lot of this site won’t make any sense to you.) Anyway, you should probably watch this video (via generic1):

How quaint! They even name-dropped Little Star vs. Zachary’s. Full disclosure: My girlfriend used to live across the street from that Zachary’s and I never once [...]

Upcoming: December Divisadero Art Walk

by Andrew Dalton on November 13, 2009

Maybe you’re new to the neighborhood, or maybe you never make it over to Divisadero because you are an antisocial curmudgeon, but in any case if you didn’t make it out to either the June or September Divisadero Art Walks then you’ve been mission out on your best tri-monthly (is that the word for that?

These People Live Here

by Andrew Dalton on November 10, 2009

While we here at Aggressive Panhandler were quietly neglecting our blogging duties for whatever reason last week, one of our favorites ILiveHereSF was quietly posting more amazing first-hand accounts from our neighbors. Here’s a recap if you’re not currently following along:
Meghan who was “somewhere in NOPA” last Sunday Morning was up first, describing her first [...]

Green Chile Kitchen Re-Opens. Best Burrito You’ve Ever Eaten?

by Andrew Dalton on November 5, 2009

I swung by the new Green Chile Kitchen at McAllister and Baker last night to give them a try. My allegiance to Papalote means I’ve lived in the neighborhood for over 3 years and never once tried GCK’s (cool kids call it that) North-of-the-Border cuisine at the old location on Fulton. So what did I [...]

Scenes from the Next: Trauma in Alamo Square

by Andrew Dalton on October 22, 2009

We alluded to this yesterday, but in case you missed it the crew of the so-bad-it’s-good new medical drama Trauma did some filming on Scott St. across from the dog poop side of Alamo Square (and of course where some of the most famous TV lessons from our collective childhood took place, just across the [...]
