Part of the problem of having wide, wide sidewalks in San Francisco is when people go and try to fill up the wasted space.
As here, in front of the Hotel Whitcomb on inbound Market near 8th Street. See? Terry Frye’s recent photos seem to show quite a lot of stuff on the red brick. Is Market now a Livable Street or something? Are potted plants required for every public-private partnership to come down the pike?
If this trend keeps up, then San Francisco Honda will run out of room to hawk its wares. I mean, there are only so many red bricks for businesses to put their stuff on out there, right?

It’s just one of the lighted Christmas trains of the Financial District.
See? Somewhere under there is a motosickle…
…and a gasoline-powered Honda generator to make the lights shine.
Merry Christmas!

Remember the 1970’s? Well, I can’t claim ignorance of that particular decade, but nevertheless I was shocked upon first seeing this official SFPD photo of two of their officers zipping northward on official SFPD-issue mopeds.
See their nightsticks?
Zoom zoom.
Hey, maybe the Motor Division would like to trade in their Harleys and BMWs for something sassy like this sexy little Yamaha Riva, or something.
Wonder what the union would think of that?

First check out the Sausalito entry here at Bluoz.com and then check out the photos below, as seen in the Western Addition.
This vehicle used to be a Honda Civic:
Here’s a close-up of the trunk:

The Civic owner is a fan of thrash metal band GWAR, believe it or not.
The winner? San Francisco, by a nose.

Read this bit here over at BIKE NOPA to see that at least one SFPD lieutenant doesn’t consider the death of pedestrian Melissa Dennison to be a case of vehicular manslaughter. According to Lt. Ramlin of Park Station, at this point:
“There is no determination that it was manslaughter.”
The memorial at Fell and Broderick as it appeared a few days ago:
(Personally, I think when people use the term “speeding” in regards to traffic on Fell and Oak, they’re not saying what mean. Are they talking about cars literally going more than 30 mph? It’s not clear.)
The police report should be coming out soon…

The makeshift memorial for killed pedestrian Melissa Dennison at the intersection of Fell and Broderick is still drawing observers.
More flowers have come and someone put up a large photo. As it looked last night:
A memorial is planned for this Sunday in the Lake Tahoe area.
“Please join family and friends to celebrate the life of Melissa Hope Dennison. A memorial service will be held at West End Beach on Sunday, Sept. 20, beginning at 1 p.m. Bring food, drinks, and memories to share. All are welcome at the West End Beach Donner Lake in Truckee.”

It appears as if somebody threw away the flowers at Fell and Broderick yesterday morning - they were placed there as a memorial for fallen San Francisco pedestrian Melissa Dennison. But tons more were added throughout the day.
And this was the scene last night. The intersection smelled like a florist’s shop:
People were reading reports from the Examiner and KTVU-TV.
At this point it’s not really clear how this quote from the ‘Xam…
“State law dictates that an intersection doesn’t need to marked to be considered a crosswalk.”
…is useful since all the crosswalks in the area are marked.
We’ll have to wait to see if the office of Kamala Harris will charge the driver…
