From the Richmond District Blog comes news of tonight’s Richmond District Democratic Club meeting regarding the horrible new bike lanes on JFK Jr Drive in Golden Gate Park.
Longtime area cyclist and capitalist running dog Steven T. Jones typifies the type of person who will most benefit from re-education via the corrupt SFMTA and the messianic San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. See?
“New JFK bike lanes are bad for everyone“
I’d post a photo but the SFMTA has me watching an educational movie, you know, A Clockwork Orange-style.
And they DID admit that some fine-tuning possibly might be in order.
And my restraints are actually quite comfortable.
Maybe these horrible, one-of-a-kind bike lanes aren’t so horrible after all.
In closing, I Love Big Brother.
What’s “new” here except for the video itself?
“San Francisco’s new sweet spots“ by losangelestimes:
In closing, “Oh … I don’t go to the Avenues.”
Heh.
In mitigation:
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
No, not the one in south california
They got one in south patagonia
If you want to get there and back again from the Panhandle bike path and Mid Market (and beyond), your best choice is McAllister Street.
It’s waaaaaaay better than The Wiggle route.
Why?
Well, why not? McAllister Street (aka the Hastings Cutoff) is shorter and swifter and straighter and safer.
Actually, The Wiggle is The Rookie’s Choice, full of part-timers like CW Nevius (oh he just quit cycling in The City, hardly surprising) and fast fixie riders who don’t know any better.
And The Movement prefers the Wiggle, for some unknown reason. But if you just want to get from A to B, then its Market McAllister Divis and eventually Fell for you.
Like this – that’s UC Hastings, your Hastings Cutoff lodestar, there in the background on the left:

So you climb a bit more using McAl, like 20 more vertical feet if you add up all the ups and downs, but big whoop.
All right, see you out there on the HC!
First came Coke, all the way from Mexico, all the way back in aught-six. (You see, they use sugar as the sweetener south of the border, you know, instead of corn syrup.)

Then came the 12 oz. Coke in a Coke Bottle purveyors, like this lovely Hayes Valley Taco Model from the Gap:
And then came the Mexican Pepsi at the Costco:
But now comes the King of Them All, El Medio Litro, the half-litre of Mexican Coke in a bottle:
I only saw one case at Costco #144 in SoMA, just recently.
I don’t know what they go for, probably something betwixt $18-24 for 24.
Who knows what Mexican-made beverage Costco will offer next…
For an hour, anyway.
You’ll need to approach your free space from 5th Street, as Clementina is a one-way.
And I guess the main entrance to Target is at 4th and Mission, so if that’s your destination then it’s more better to say two blocks away.
But still, free parking is free parking.
See?

I’ll tell you, there are two kinds of San Franciscans:
1. People who know / care about who the current Mayor is; and
2. People who think the Mayor of San Francisco is still Gavin Newsom or Willie Brown or Dianne Feinstein*
A third of the first group welcomes the new City Target store, a third doesn’t care, and a third opposes this corporate chain-store invasion, man.
And the second group? They either don’t care or they welcome this store.
Golfing for Gift Cards and Bullseye doggie dolls:
*Which you know, isn’t too far from the truth, IRL.
(Oh, which of the two groups listed above is larger? The second one.)
I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords.
As does Charlize Theron:
Feel free to continue shopping online until October 14th.
(And hey, where’s our Masonic and Geary Target, when’s that one coming?)
See you at the City Target on the Second Sunday of October 2012!
As seen in 1/8000 of a second at Justin Herman Plaza, September 12th, 2012:

Voluminous.
And see what Vernon Davis thinks about the upcoming game with the Detroit Lions Sunday night at the ‘Stick right here at TV 49.
Speaking of which, check out the New Santa Clara Stadium, which is probably going to be about 20 times better than Candlestick Park.
All right, tink happy toughts until 5:20 PM Sunday…
I think it means they want to build a new greenhouse and some offices, but they don’t want to put in the concomitant parking spaces.
I think.

I haven’t kept track of things there since they put up the paywall. (Do they still charge $7 per capita and pay the workers minimum wage? Something like that.)
Some people want to be alone with their plants at what used to be a free public garden, so that’s fine.
Oh well.
