Here’s the latest from the Eric Mar campaign:
“Supervisor Eric Mar First Candidate To Qualify for Public Financing
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 2012 – Late on Friday afternoon, Supervisor Eric Mar’s re-election campaign received the official word from the San Francisco Ethics Commission that he is the first candidate in the city, from any district or any race, to qualify to receive public matching funds.
Supervisor Mar’s campaign will receive their first $20,000 in qualifying public funds from the city shortly.
Campaign spokeswoman Nicole Derse said, “This accomplishment highlights Supervisor Mar’s broad community support and the strength of our grassroots campaign. We are proud to be the only candidate in the city to have met this goal.”
To receive public financing, a candidate must collect at least $15,000 in qualifying contributions from San Franciscans for donations up to $100. Although many candidates, including Supervisor Mar, have raised substantially more funds than that, the threshold for public financing measures the quantity of low-dollar donations. Supervisor Mar’s campaign has received donations from over 450 individual donors, the vast majority of them from San Franciscans in amounts from $5-$100.
“I am incredibly honored to be the first candidate in the city to qualify for public financing. I look forward to engaging thousands of Richmond residents in our grassroots campaign over the next four months,” said Supervisor Eric Mar.
Supervisor Mar is running a strong grassroots campaign, and signature gathering and voter contact efforts will further intensify in July.
Supervisor Mar’s re-election campaign will open the doors on their new Richmond office at 5812 Geary Blvd. (at 22nd Avenue) this week and will hold an office opening celebration and signature gathering mobilization next Saturday, July 7th at 12:00 Noon.
Supervisor Mar will be updating information on his campaign regularly at his website www.ReelectMar.com“
Aslan, the Lion of the Richmond, is, once again, on the move, the same as four years ago:
Sorry, CW Nevius. The conservative-faction victory you, for some reason, so desperately seek won’t be found in District One. Not this year.

Why not?
She seemed to be doing it responsibly, and she was on a stretch of road famous for drunk drivers, and she just left another road famous for drunk drivers.

I hope she never sees this peer-pressure video.
You Go Girl.
You go slowly and you’ll be fine.

That’s the Holiday Inn on Van Ness that you can see when you take the tunnel from the West Bay back to San Francisco:

“1 Screen. Built in 1939. Operated by Landmark since 1991. Only one mile west of Japan Town and one mile south of the Presidio, the Bridge Theatre is conveniently and centrally located in the Inner Richmond District. Named after the Golden Gate bridge which was built two years before, it is one of San Francisco’s most beloved single-screen movie palaces, featuring independent films and foreign language cinema since the 1950s.”

Wow.

Now, the reason why this man is generally interested in booty is because, well, he’s a man, baby. That’s why – nothing wrong with that, is there?
Of course, he should do a better job of hiding his April 2011 copy of Bootylicious (don’t click, I beseech you) in what appears to be a garbage bag, but he’s not stealing iPhones, is he?
Ponder that.

It’s hard to see how 40 entire avenues are in there, but that must be the case:
The OfficeMax in the corner marks Arguello and way at the end you can see the 40′s in the Outer Richmond, where Point Lobos Avenue breaks off from Geary Bouelvard.
Can you see how all the lights are red at the same time going outbound? Does that encourage drivers to drive as fast as they can to see how far they can get before all the lights turn red again? Discuss.

Dangerous 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond District was the scene of an injury accident yesterday afternoon, as you can see.
That’s a red Pontiac Bonneville, I think:

Appears as if this P.O.S. Delorean DMC-12 with damage on its left front might have been involved – it was sitting all by its lonesome across the street with the passenger door open and various DMC bits on the seats.
(The nice thing about the Delorean ego trip is that we didn’t have to pay for it, back in the day, we didn’t subsidize it. But for some reason, these days we’re subsidizing the similar Tesla Motors roadster ego trip and CODA Automotive sedan. For some reason… Oh well.)
Anyway, that’s all I know…

This is the art on the south side of the Geary Expressway near Webster (the street that’s waaaaaaay too wide in this part of town):

And this is the yin and yang art (not necessarily Japanese per se but it’s recognizably Eastern and you got to think like a Redeveloper dividing up neighborhoods and Peoples back in the day) on the opposite side at the start of Japantown:
Or, in other words, black people over here and Asian people over there.
(Oh, and groove on the concrete. Concrete was the thang back in the 1960′s. And oh, the vast majority of J-Town is earthquake deficient by today’s standards. Thanks, Redevelopment – that’s a nice legacy for future generations to deal with.)
I don’t know, this artwork probably wasn’t the best choice, considering the history of Redevelopment in the 415.
Just saying, Bro.

First, it was all like this, with only a solitary person to play, night after night.
But now, it’s all like this:

An actual late-night chess scene on the west side running way past the time when the east side chess players on the 1000 block of Market in the crime-ridden Uptown Tenderloin have packed up and gone home?
Hurray!
West si-iiiide!

In the sense that the faster you go, the more intersections you can get through.
See this trail of green lights stretching out to infinity? That’s how they roll in the Richmond District:
