Thursday, May 23rd, 2013

Just saying, Broseph.

Seen a mess of the them just ambling about Market lately especially the south of the slots, two by two.

Just my observation.

Leave us review: Former Mayor Gavin Newsom signed a payroll tax into law back in 2004. But a half-decade later, Twitter decided that it didn’t like Gavin Newsom’s tax, so an exemption was made for Twitter, and others so bold as to set up shop in an area that was mapped out by real estate interests and others, only Gaia knows.

So that’s how a $12,000 donation or something given to Gavin Newsom’s failed gubernatorial campaign led to the birth of the nascent Mid-Market Twitterloin area.

Hurray!

The Pigeon-Feeders of Mid-Market: No Wonder Our Hibernia Bank, That Brokedown Palace, Has Bird Issues

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

Well this is what happens at our shut-down Hibernia Bank (Landmark #130) at Jones, McAllister and Market these days – pigeon poo blocks drainage and then that starts a process that causes parts of the building to rain down on the sidewalk.

Thusly:

The Wide, Wide Sidewalks of Market Street Invaded by an Army of Scooter-Riding Youth

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Is this kind of thing illegal?

Click to expand 

I don’t know.

Probably, if bikes and Segway scooters are illegal on most sidewalks in the 415, as they are.

And what’s a scooter these days?

I don’t know.

I think of something like this:

 

Gee, could this scene be any more Italiano?

Or this, of course:

As seen in Twin Peaks.

Anyway, the fold-up scooter fad (you know, the one that lasted a year or two in the 1990′s) is back, baby.

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

These tightly-packed German tourists appeared to be set to enter the gritty Tenderloin from the apparent safety of Mid-Market yesterday evening.

Looking up Jones Street straight into the teeth of the ‘Loin. Mmmm, gritty:

Don’t know if this has anything to do with last year’s nearby killing of Mechthild Schröer or if it’s favella tourism or what.

Never encountered anything like this before…

How Absurd Is It To Think That a Britney Spears Gig Would Fill Up Area Hotels? Very – Anyway, Meet the Renoir

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Reader, meet the Renoir Hotel.

Renoir Hotel, meet the Reader.

Let’s call you the Fatiron Building, why not, RH?

Anyway, the idea that people would check into Mid-Market hotels because of the recent Britney Spears whatever-it-was strikes me as absurd.

Now, I’d call out a bit a Yelp Fraud here but that doesn’t seem to do a whole lot of good.

Oh well.

Didn’t Seinfeld have an ep. where a cigar store Indian played a role?

Yes it did.
