A condominium on Harrison Street in the SOMA area of San Francisco for $200K-something might sound appealing to some.
Here’s what they’re saying about this new garage-free development.

As they say, it’s not for everybody.
Last weekend was time, once again, for reason #17 on the list of Why They Hate Us, LoveFest 2008:
“While Americans are struggling with an economic meltdown, ruthless hurricane season and political uncertainty of our future, San Francisco LoveFest will provide some much needed love. San Francisco’s biggest street party kicks off Saturday, October 4th at San Francisco LoveFest: A Dance Music Parade and Festival. The parade featuring 28 floats will start at San Francisco’s 2nd and Market Streets and continue all the way to Civic Center Plaza for a giant outdoor dance club with the world’s top DJs to celebrate at this free all-ages event.”

Ahora mas que nunca:
“Now more than ever we need to take over the streets and City Hall to express and share the values of culture, peace, love, unity, and respect,” said Joshua Smith, SF LoveFest founding board member. “There is no better time for an event of this scale and intention. Our community needs to come together, enjoy life and hold onto the good things.”
O.K. then.
It seems God told Dr. Owen Bias to become a street preacher in 1974. Since then, he’s been quite the fixture on our sidewalks.
Many are impressed with the:
“…wonderful display of typography on the sign. look at the perfect hand kerning on those big headlines. wow. very nice. I love the block font too. Check out that “Q” in Quit. amazing.”

Look for him near the cable car turnaround at Market and Powell. Based upon what he says to passers by, it appears that the word “unlawful” is not the focus of his message.
Choose wisely.
San Francisco’s Obamamania is back in full force now the we are on the eve on the Democratic national Convention in Denver.
This Dolce & Gabbana bus ad is typical of what you’ll see on the streets of S.F. these days:
You see, the sidewalks of San Francisco’s Market Street don’t have posted speed limits so you’re free to go as fast as you want.
Everyone will cheer as your illegal, hollow, straight exhaust pipes resonate. Why not give us a smoky burnout or two?
All right, see you tomorrow!
People who travel down the small isthmus from San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Island are now greeted by Abdul Nassar’s Island Market and Deli, right where the Main Gate used to be. This is proof positive that San Francisco’s newest nabe is coming along nicely.
‘Cause you can’t have a community without ready access to coffee and FUNYUNS®.
“Funyuns Onion Flavored Rings are a deliciously different snack that is fun to eat. These playful rings have a crisp texture and are packed full of zesty onion flavor. Next time you’re in the mood for a snack that’s out of the ordinary, try Funyuns Onion Flavored Rings.”
And they probably have a bunch of other stuff too.
Good luck T.I.!
San Francisco’s Four Seasons Hotel is located on Market Street, close to Union Square so it’s easy for you to go shopping.
But the Four Seasons Wash N’ Dry is all the way out in the Richmond District halfway to the Pacific Ocean - thats’ not convenient at all.
Oh well.
“Chris Daly is not exactly the president of Mensa.” That’s the quote today in the Chronicle in an article about closing part of Market Street to cars. Is Supervisor Daly supposed to be stoopid or something?
1. Trying to close part of Market seems a lot more appealing than some other ideas. Ideas like this, or like corn ethanol for example. Trying this Market Street concept, which has been proposed by others in the past, would be cheap to implement and would be simple to undo if things didn’t work out.
2. Chris Daly could easily become president of Mensa if he had a reason to want to do so. (Look out Alan Winson!) Chris wouldn’t even have to take a test to join. He could most likely dig up the SAT or ACT scores he needed to get into Duke and use them to get into Mensa. Bingo bango. (Bonus: He seems familiar with the organization.)
Chris is a smart guy you just happen to disagree with on this or that. So, let’s leave Mensa out of future discussions of how to move forward, mkay?
Carry on.
This guy road the rails all the way down the Embarcadero heading to Fisherman’s Wharf. Good thing no trains were coming. And good thing he had the optional SUV tires - the ride must be rough when you’re on the cobblestones.

Or maybe he’s preparing for the Olympics
