Lots of shoes hanging on overhead wires are visible in Haight Ashbury these days.
Could it be the work of the sit/lie bullies, you know, the ones behind the purported “unpleasant transformation” in the area over the past year?

Friday, December 18th, 2009See the Hanging Gardens of San Francisco at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Where would we be without our own little outpost of Brutalist Architecture – the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero?
Remember that guy who paid $30-something a day (through Priceline.com, originally) to live at the Reeg for months and months cheaper than renting an apartment in the pricey 415? Well, here’s where he lived:

8-Bit Mario Mushrooms Add Color to Otherwise Grey Sunset District
Friday, August 14th, 2009See what I mean?
Hanging Mario mushrooms about your vehicle is a good and inexpensive way to get pulled over for driving with obstructed windows. Everyone should be aware of California Vehicle Code 26708, Material Obstructing or Reducing Driver’s View. (It’s tough. Tough but fair.) Learn it, know it, live it.
As seen in the Sunset District. Click on photo to Power Up:
To save Princess Toadstool, Mario conquers the eight worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom by going to the castle in each to defeat a minion of King Koopa. To reach each castle, Mario battles through three “sub-worlds” by defeating or avoiding King Koopa’s henchmen. If Mario successfully fights his way through the castle and defeats the minion, a Mushroom Retaineris freed. Inside the eighth castle, Mario has a final fight with King Koopa and frees Princess Toadstool.
Don’t stop believing.

Thursday, April 9th, 2009Remember all those Plywood Padlock Pigeons hanging above San Francisco a year and a half ago? Sure you do, they were Everywhere You Wanted To Be.
As here, seen back in ought-seven hanging about the MoMA in the SoMA on 3rd Street Willie Brown Way:
Well, now those “berds” from Browne in “Los Berdgeles, CA“ can have a place to stay, courtesy of the birdhouses appearing above the Streets of San Francisco these days.
As here, in the Mission, Mission District District, with famous Sutro Tower (it’s analog AND digital, thanks for asking!) in the background:
Hey, have you heard? Teh Berd is the Word.

The Hanging Gardens of San Francisco’s Civic Center Hotel
Monday, January 26th, 2009A resident of the Civic Center Hotel at 20 12th Street near Market (be sure to read the one-star review on Google Maps complaining about the $570 V.I.P. “bottle service”) has a very impressive windowsill garden going on.
Plaudits.
