Here it is, from Kyoto, Japan, the first thing you see from the street:
Dude explicates, basically saying that he knows it’s funny but he thinks the white rat logo will bring good fortune:
“フロンティアのキャラクターをご紹介！
お店のロゴを考えている時、不意に浮かんだ 『 白ねずみ 』
ロゴに添えてみたら何だか笑えました。
私自身も ねずみ年ということもあり、
店の繁栄も願って 『 白ねずみ 』 をキャラクターに決めました”
OTOH, in San Francisco, rats are inside and outside of restaurants, but they are NEVER used as logos.
Just check out Fishermans Wharf around closing time. If you aren’t mugged, you’ll eventually see the rats.
And a few of them will be white…

This graphic from Jenna Scatena’s piece looks interesting, anyway.

When Republican billionaire Ron Conway decided to make a project of making San Francisco less Democrat and more Republican, the first thing they told him to do was to unregister as a Republican.
Isn’t it ironic, dontcha think?
When Republican billionaire Ron Conway recently got caught trying to improperly influence SFGov over the issue of street parking spaces near the offices of Pinterest, he tried to lie his way out of it.
Isn’t it ironic, dontcha think? (Ron Conway First, Transit Second)
Oh Ron Conway, will you ever win?

Not all religious warriors are NIMBYs and not all NIMBYs are religious warriors, of course, but check out the formerly-obscure “Mission Dolores” “Neighborhood” Association for a little from Column A and a little from Column B.
Little did you know that when you buy the Bi-Rite Ice Cream, you’re supporting San Francisco’s Version of the Taliban or mutaween (see below). Oh well.
Anyway, NBC’s Matt Baume has the latest on these horrible NIMBYs.
Will the MDNA manage to cross Market Street some day?

It’s on the craigslist, so it must be legit:
“Skoda Man Press Seeking Stories for Comic Book Guide to the Mission. San Francisco, February 24, 2010 — Skoda Man Press, an independent publishing company, is developing a comic book travel guide to San Francisco’s Mission District, and is currently seeking anecdotes about the Mission.
“We are looking at a wide range of stories that capture the spirit of the Mission,” said Skoda Man editor Lauren Davis. “We want to see everything from that epic night out to slice-of-life vignettes about the neighborhood. We’re looking for tales of great food, lazy days in the park, and strange encounters with eccentric people. We want people who live in and visit the Mission to be able to open the book and recognize their friends and neighbors.”
Sweet. It’ll be like that time Kramer sold his anecdotes to J Peterman for $750 (except that less money is involved).
Remember dooring that cyclist with your Mercedes S67 after parking in front of Farina? (Good times.) Throw in your account of ducking from automatic gunfire and that’s a graphic novelette right there:

“The editors will choose 20 anecdotes, and then contract with Bay Area sequential artists to create comic versions of the stories. The final book will provide a unique view of the Mission, seen through the eyes of various residents, visitors, and artists.
“Authors of the selected entries will receive $20 and a story credit, plus the opportunity to see their story brought to comic life. Writers should submit their detailed anecdotes to skodamanpress@gmail.com by March 20th.
“Skoda Man Press is a San Francisco-based, independent publisher. The comic book guide to the Mission will be its first published title.”
See you in the funny pages.

It’s the Law.
Duboce Park is where the dogs can run free (in the Multi-Use area) and the children get fenced in – it all works out.
But your pup is going to need a leash to get to the leash-free area, as this sidewalk graphic tries to communicate:
See you there!
(And “please please pick up after your dogs“, they are begging over on the Yelp. Oh well)
