Look closer, you’ll see it.
You think it’s just a coincidence that the old 420 rolls through the Upper Haight?
I don’t.*

And hey, speaking of bud and Giants baseball, back in the 1990′s, people, just regular people, not just baseball players, would hang out in the crib of star pitcher William Joseph Van Landingham and smoke weed all day. So much so that other Giants called him Van Bongingham. I’m srsly.
All right, GO GIANTS!
*Check out what’s on the side of area fire trucks, for example.
**Indeed. 607A Haight is about ten blocks down the road, in the Lower Haight.

But your MB or BMW? Not so much.
Do these brands stand for luxury? Sure. But do they stand for quality these days? No.
Oh well.
(At least these German brands rank slightly above above rock-bottom Government Motors and Chrysler (nee Daimler Chrysler))

Five-star Yelp rated San Francisco Santarchy has taken over the city today, just as it did in 2009 and 2008 and 2007 and 2006 and 2005 and 2004 and 2003 and 2002 and 2001 and 2000 and so on.

The peaked roofs of the Hayes Valley South HOPE VI projects just off Haight Street play host to gravity-defying pigeons. Will they get evicted when the solar panels come?
Yes, these boids will have a tough time gaining traction on the solar panels.

Pity these poor rock doves.

Well this is the scene you’ll see in San Francisco – official banners celebrating and promoting the Lower Haight area, courtesy of the Upper Playground and and the Lower Haight Merchant’s Association.
Like this one from Estevan Orial, who uses a “cheap-ass digital camera.”

This is you. A 1955 (or 1956) BMW Isetta 300 Bubble Window from CarPlanet.com.
Wasn’t this your dream car ever since you saw the Never Let Me Down Again and Behind the Wheel videos from Depeche Mode?
It’s not that big:
The engine is in the back but on the right side, so you might get a little tippy if you carry around a heavy passenger. But that’s a small price to pay for owning this little cutie.
Zoom zoom.
