The street artists of Market Street are already reacting to the NeMa Building in the new, so-called “New Market” microhood.
Were these banners above the sidewalk of Market meant to be tagged? IDK

Similarly, the other banners are all “NEMA IS CULTURE” and “NEMA IS AUTHENTIC.”
I’ll tell you, you aint none of those things, NeMA Building.
(Mmmm. if the inauthentic The Bold Italic website were a building, would it be the NeMA high-rise? We’ll just have to wait and see if NeMa loses its corporate owners millions of dollars a year, am I right girlfriend?)
Moving on…
Now, as promised, here’s the list of local, authentic, cultural hotspots of the NeMa area. It’s a short list. Just one entry, actually.
Right across the street from the NeMa Building site, here’s your Hotspot:
Look for this place to be heavily featured in the next ridiculous marketing video.
Good luck with finding your identity, NeMa Building.

Whether it’s to open something new or to hunker down until better times I don’t know.
Anyway, it used to be like this but now it’s like this:

A few days back on McAllister at Divisadero:
“MURAL IN PROGRESS – PLEASE RESPECT – EX-VANDALS”

And here’s the scene yesterday, with sidewalk cyclists giving the thumbs up already, or terrorist fist-jabs or something:
And here’s the crew putting the final touches on:
On It Goes in the Western Addition…

Hey DPW! Are there some things in the world that are even worse than graffiti?

(And I’ll add that I don’t think jurors are supposed to select the cases they serve on…)
“I hereby pledge to help make San Francisco a graffiti-free city by committing to do one or more of the following:
-Report graffiti vandalism by calling 311 or visiting sf311.org.
-Call 911 when I see graffiti vandalism in progress.
-Remove graffiti vandalism from my property within 48 hours.
-Teach the children in my life that it is wrong to write or make marks on other people’s property.
-Join the Graffiti Watch or Adopt-A-Street and help to remove graffiti vandalism in my neighborhood.
-Support anti-graffiti vandalism legislation by writing or making phone calls to elected officials.
-If called, serve on a jury that decides a graffiti vandalism case.”

Hey, what’s “ZERO GRAFFITI INTERNATIONAL?”
It’s an “international” anti-graffiti convention that’ll have fewer attendees than passengers on the bus you can see on the left.
Hey, why do we have those giant ads sitting on the sidewalks of Market?
Was it part of a corrupt public-private deal involving former Mayor Willie Brown?
Yep.
And he appointed Gavin Newsom and Gavin Newsom appointed Ed Lee?
Yep.
And let’s see here, we have a stupid “film” dedicated to corrupt DPW Department Head Mohammed Nuru?
Check.
And the “preferred” airport shuttle service is the corrupt GO Lorries?
Of course.
Is the keynote speaker going to be Rod Blagojevich?
Who knows…

Well it did to me, as I was rolling by.
Now I’m not sure.
As seen on Divisadero betwixt Fulton and McAllister:

Hey, did they let KKKatie out of the clink?
Hey, isn’t the Western Addition an especially bad place for anything resembling the letters KKK being posted with letters a yard high?
You know, in light of Redevelopment and the rich, white, homeowning North of Panhandle Homeowner’s Association (NoPNA)?
Just asking?

This is the most legible graffito I’ve seen in Golden Gate Park since KKKatie…

I’m not sure who promised one particular homeowner up in Sausalito that his/her views would forever remain the same, you know, in perpetuity, but here’s the latest from Bluoz:
“NO DEVELOPMENT THAT BLOCKS VIEWS – IF YOU BUILD UP WE WILL BURN IT DOWN!!!”
Via Bluoz – click to expand
Oh, and you used the ladder from your garage? Well good for you, you nutcase.
Good for you.
You get an “A” for effort

GGU used to be called “YMCA Night School?”
They ought to have that on a T-shirt…

Or maybe on the diploma too, as an option, you know, the way Harvard gals can opt for a Radcliffe diploma…
