Who knows what will end up happening to the unused trapezoidal-shaped parcel in the middle of Harrison, Division and 11th Street in SoMA right across from the Costco.
But this landmark Veteran’s Cab sign looks like it will hang on regardless:

I thought most of the bikes in the flat, flat Mission District were fixies these days, but I guess not:
Here are the the latest photos of the recovered rides:

There I was, looking for hours for something apropo what rhymes with cuddie bang only to be rescued by the Bay Area Hip Hop Dictionary:
It’s all gravity, baby.
Pixx.
Right here. (Cause, you know, the Mission District is San Francisco’s Capital of Bike Stealing.)
See?
“New bicycle section on http://www.missionstation.org to track reported stolen and recovered stolen bicycles. Send us your feedback!”
But sadly, the Recovered Bicycle Database only has one entry right now – it’s a black Specialized road bike that I’m sure you’ll recognize in a second, if it’s yours.
“For Information: Inspector Pomatto #2071 Mission Investigations (415) 558-5400″

OTOH, the Stolen Bicycle Database has eight entries currently. See?
Thanks, Captain Corrales!
See? You could probably fit another couple of ankle-biters on there, no problem:

(But you shouldn’t have too many kids anyway, else the locals will start calling you a “breeder,” and that’s meant to be quite an insult.)
Get in on the fun here, but the prices seem a bit high, oh well…
I suppose down in Los Angeles, they should have The Sports Club/SF?

You know, just to be fair.
A preferable name would be The Sports Club/Love Canal or The Sports Club/Tuzla, something like that.
Those names would be better, srsly.
Oh MUNI, you so crazy!
But in this case, this is an ad regarding elder abuse and not the more typical MUNI kind of ad.
OK then. All the deets after the jump.

So, let’s review. Cults are A-OK with MUNI but something like smooth, refreshing Blast by Colt 45 is zehr verboten.
Go figure.

Finally caught a Bloomberg West snippet.
Quite vapid so far, as you can see. (Yes you’re in the 415, yes you qualified your expert, but what have we learned? What’s the insight? Just asking, bro.)
See the backdrop? It’s real, the boats move and everything. I was shocked:
Anyway, at least the BW hasn’t taken to making stuff up:
“Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water.“
So it’s better than the Reuters, anyway.
But, BW, please tell us something new. Justify our love, why not?
Anyway, Bon courage, Bloomberg West.
IMO, Get Low is an excellent film with excellent performances from Robert Duvall and Bill Murray. I don’t think it will win the Academy Award for Best Picture next year, but it’s better than it’s not so that’s why it has a 100% rating from 18 top critics at Rotten Tomatoes.
JMO.
(Thought it was a little twee to name the wood-obsessed main character “Bush.” Then I found out that the inspiration for this “true tall tale” was a man named Bush who became famous for wanting to attend his own funeral back in the day. OK then.)
I’m up for seeing it again. I’m sure I will at some point.
It opens today at the Embarcadero and a few other places in the bay area.
I’ll tell you, there’s not a doubt in my mind that Toyota continues to be, by far, the best car company in the world. That’s something that commenters and pundits who don’t know what the eff they’re talking about should keep in mind, one might think. (And rest assured, my giant Toyota has, for some odd reason, both a new-school electronic throttle sensor and old-school throttle cable. It’s like you’re wearing a belt and suspenders at the same time!)
Anywho, due to the recent troubles, Toyota has a new joint coming to the Bay Area. So, look forward to a Product Quality Field Office opening its doors in the East Bay, in San Ramon, soon. (They’re calling it “San Francisco” in the press release, but that’s close enough, I s’pose. It’ll be close to Berkeley, anyway, where 20% of cars sold these days are Priuseses, or something.)
Welcome Toyota!
Bon courage.

Toyota to Expand Product Quality Field Offices Across United States and Canada
San Francisco Field Office Launches This Month; Seven North American Offices Planned Significantly Enhances Field Data Collection and Technical Capabilities
TORRANCE, Calif., July 8 — Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS), today announced that it is expanding its Product Quality Field Office program to four additional U.S. regional sales areas, following the success of a pilot program launched in the New York region in late 2009. TMS will officially open its next Product Quality Field Office in San Francisco this month, and an additional three offices across the U.S. over the next 12 months. Toyota Canada Inc. (TCI) announced that it will establish Product Quality Field Offices in Toronto and Calgary, for a total of seven offices across North America.
Staffed by technical and engineering specialists with expertise drawn from across Toyota’s global operations, these Product Quality Field Offices strengthen Toyota’s North American field technical presence and data gathering and reporting capabilities, enhancing the company’s ability to detect, analyze and respond to customer and quality issues in the field.
Product Quality Field Offices are being established with the mandate to investigate specific field quality issues related to unique regional, geographical or environmental conditions in each area. The New York region office was developed to investigate the performance of Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles in cold weather climates, with an emphasis on corrosion issues. The new San Francisco office will focus on hybrid vehicle systems and durability, capitalizing on the high concentration of these vehicles in the California market.
Ever more deets, after the jump.
