Tuesday, February 21st, 2012Obviously, California will let you put the word “GOD” on your license plate, ’cause, well just look.
One supposes “I Heart You God” was already taken:

Maybe courts are looking at things differently lately?
I know not.
Oh, here’s something:
“The number ’69′ is reserved for 1969 year model vehicles.”
But they don’t talk about other taboo topics.
Oh well.
Merry part.
San Francisco is So Rich We Can Afford to Light Up the Giant Market Street “VIRGIN” Sign in Perpetuity?
Friday, February 3rd, 2012Here’s the reverse-angle, at night, from Market Street near the Union Square Apple Store.
It’s the giant neon sign for our long-closed Virgin Megastore:

Now didn’t I talk about this just last month? So why is this sign still burning brightly 24-7? There’s no actual Megasto any mo, right? Has this store sign become an ad for the Virgin Empire? Does somebody turn the sign off on Christmas to honor the Baby Jesus ‘n stuff? Does the City and County of San Francisco pay for the juice to power it?
I know not.

Uh, Who Pays for the Electricity to Power the Giant VIRGIN Sign on the Side of Our Long-Shutdown Virgin Megastore?
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012You see, our world-class City (go ahead, Google the terms ”ed lee” “world class” right now) used to have a world-class Virgin Megastore at the world-class intersection of world-class Market Street and world-class Stockton Street.
But then our Virgin reka sto shut down, a while ago, actually.
But now the sign is still burning brightly, wasting the electricity that San Francisco stole from the rest of California fair and square back when Hetch Hetchy got built.

Bon courage, Virgin Megastore sign.
May you shine forever.

What’s Up with that Mysterious Russia House Place in Southern San Francisco?
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008No, not that Russia House, written by John le Carré and starring Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer. And not that one either.
It’s this one, the restaurant at 2011 Bayshore Blvd. in freeway-close Visi Valley. Would you be brave enough to check it out after reading what the Yelpers have to say and seeing that even our municipal government won’t venture foot in there?
Comes now bold Michael Procopio who brought a brace of his “girls” down there to check things out for Bay Area Bites.
Neon, fur, and vodka – who could ask for anything more?
It seems like Russia House is great place to go, if only to watch a party from another culture. (In Russia, Party watch you!)
Check it out, if you want.
