That’s right, it’s the art at the top of 580 California:
The postmodern, 107 m (351 ft), 23 story tower is … is topped with twelve statues described as “The Corporate Goddesses” by Muriel Castanis on the twenty-third floor.”
The LA Times calls these twelve statures “faceless rooftop wraiths.”
Yep.
Avert your gaze.
But these workers inside 580 have no choice:
- State Farm Insurance
- Blurb, Inc.
- Charles Schwab
- Clickability
- Consulate General of Canada
- Merrill Lynch
- Northern Trust Corporation
- Swinerton & Walberg
- The Jejune Institute
- FileWave
Pray for them.
Possible Suicide This Morning on Stuart Between Market and Mission – Very Close to OccupySF Base Camp
Sunday, November 13th, 2011Don’t have the details for this death on the sidewalk of Stuart just south of Don Chee Way (which is now the southern border of OccupySF these days).
“A guy apparently just died on Steuart near Don Chee Way. Paramedics tried CPR but then covered up the body. No other info yet.”
That’s Occupy in the background – I have no idea of the dead person’s possible relationship to OccupySF or the Hotel Vitale:

The cookhouse for OccupySF is in the lower left-hand corner, first-responder SFFD Engine 13 is in the lower right, and “Spa Vitale” is on top:

How much revenue will BATA lose over this one? And will those drivers who decide to turn around at Treasure Island get a refund? Only Time Will Tell.
