What It Looks Like When a San Franciscan Breaks Into Your Car To Rummage Around and Steal Things
Tuesday, August 21st, 2012It Takes a Village (of Cops) to Bust a Hippie – The Sad State Justice Stephen Breyer’s Old High School, Lowell
Friday, July 13th, 2012Here’s your Lowell High School timeline:
- 1913 – School moved to new, larger campus on Hayes Street between Masonic Avenue and Ashbury
- 1962 – School moved to current campus to make room for future expansion and add a library, gymnasium and larger auditorium
So this is where Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer actually went to high school, on the #21 Hayes line, back in the 50′s. Now it’s the John Adams Campus of troubled City College of San Francisco.
There are fewer drug dealers hanging about these days, but they’ve been replaced by bike thieves…

Speaking of which, I think this ride has been abandoned for months now. Oh well:
Oh, here’s what Lowell High School looked like in 1917:

And here’s the same place today:
See if you can match up the bricks with the shot at the top.
(Not much difference excepting for the Toyotas out front and the bright white racing stripe up high. That’s an ADA-complaint elevator shaft hanging off the side these days, one would think. Probably should have been standing about ten feet to the left – that telephone pole in front of the main entrance on Hayes probably is in the same place today as 1917 so it’d be a good tool for alignment. A tilt-shift lens and/or Photoshop would produce an almost identical image as the 1917 shot.)
Campus Information
Built in 1911 as Lowell High School, the John Adams building consists of 64 classrooms and labs, an auditorium, a state-of-the-art child care center, and offices for counseling and administrative services. At this campus, we offer a variety of credit and noncredit courses and programs. John Adams Campus also houses the Dean’s Office of the School of Health and Physical Education. Our mission here is to assist students in accomplishing their educational goal and to ensure student success.

Surprise of the Week: Convenience Store on Masonic (That Can’t Sell Lottery Tickets Anymore) is AGAINST New Cigarette Tax
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012So Prop 29 is about a $1-per-pack tax on cigarettes that we can vote on in a month? Well that’s news to me.
But look who’s against Prop 29 – it’s that famous convenience store what’s on Fulton and Masonic what can’t sell lottery tickets no mo owing to what some people, mind you, just some people, might possibly be tempted to label LOTTERY FRAUD.
See?

Now here’s your Convenience Store Triad:
1. Alcohol sales to underage students from neighboring high schools and the University of San Francisco.
2. Cigarette sales.
3. Lottery ticket sales.
So, if you lose one leg of your triad, you’ve got to make sure not to lose the other two, that’s one conclusion you might draw…
Do You Know These Three Girls Who Hang Out on Polk Street? One of them Stole a Cell Phone and Wallet at a Subway Sandwich
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012Here’s the sad story from the dude what lost his stuff at the Subway Sandwiches on Polk and Sutter:
“(3/25/2012) I was in the Subway sandwiches place at 1199 Sutter at Polk and then walked outside to get a taxi for some people I was with. I had accidentally left my phone and wallet on the table. When I returned about 30 seconds later my stuff was gone. Here is the surveillance video of who took it. Please message me or email me at racejohnson@gmail.com if you recognize her.”
Now, I say girls, I mean, I can’t tell how old they are, something betwixt 14 and 24. They act like high school students AFAIAC.
NBC’s Chris Hansen, the Sexting Perv, Comes to San Francisco to Bust Richmond District Store Clerks for Lottery Fraud?
Tuesday, March 20th, 2012Here’s what you do, you imagine this old guy on the left taking a picture of himself naked holding his wiener and then sexting it to you. Can you imagine?
Click to expand
I guess that’s what MSM-guy Chris Hansen dude recently did to some younger woman.* (That must have come as a surprise to Chris Hansen dude’s wife. Or not.)
Anyway, as you can see, Chris Hansen the sexting perv came to San Francisco recently.
Why? He came to punk unsuspecting store clerks who foolishly told their fake customers that their faked lottery tickets were losers only to try to cash the fake winning tickets in for themselves.
Like at the Lincoln Park Market on Clement in the Outer Richmond and the Fulton Food Shop in the Western Addition.**
Check it, cold busted:
(And oh, I see, you give the $10,000 winning ticket to your gf for her to cash it in, you know, cause it might look a little auspicious if you, the Kwik-E-Mart owner/clerk, yourself did it? Wow, that’s using your noodle. Or not.)
(This is the kind of thing that belongs on SFist.com, but I don’t think it’s been there.)
I’m sorry, why do we even have a lottery in California? Seems like a magnet for fraud and other unhealthy activities, just saying.
And like your lottery ticket money goes to pay the State of California to go around and bust store clerks? Seems kind of pointless to me.
All right, signing off from the stoop of the Fulton Food Shop, kitty corner from Chris Hansen’s stand-up in front of the Fulton Street Lucky a few weeks back.
That’s right, I’m Rapping 2 U, C.H:
I didn’t see him touch his wiener or nothing…
**Sorry, you can’t buy lotto tickets at these stores anymore as the State of CA no longer deals with them.
Amazingly, None of the Bikes in the Updated SFPD Mission Station Recovered Bike Database are Fixies
Thursday, November 17th, 2011I thought most of the bikes in the flat, flat Mission District were fixies these days, but I guess not:
Here are the the latest photos of the recovered rides:

Are You Obligated to Tell Out-Of-Town Visitors to Not Leave Anything in Parked Cars? Yes, Of Course – This is San Francisco
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011I tell everybody who comes to town.
It’s my obligation.
Now, let’s hear from Northern Station SFPD Police Captain Ann Mannix:
“I just looked at our most recent crime stats and, no surprise to me, auto break-ins are up yet again… Help us out by taking anything valuable out of your car and encourage others to do so as well, especially your out-of-town visitors.”
Indeed.
Walking on, walking on broken glass in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle:

Hey, Did Somebody Steal Your Bike? Well, Look For It at the New SFPD Mission Station Website Photo Database!
Friday, November 4th, 2011Right here. (Cause, you know, the Mission District is San Francisco’s Capital of Bike Stealing.)
See?
“New bicycle section on http://www.missionstation.org to track reported stolen and recovered stolen bicycles. Send us your feedback!”
But sadly, the Recovered Bicycle Database only has one entry right now – it’s a black Specialized road bike that I’m sure you’ll recognize in a second, if it’s yours.
“For Information: Inspector Pomatto #2071 Mission Investigations (415) 558-5400″

OTOH, the Stolen Bicycle Database has eight entries currently. See?
Thanks, Captain Corrales!

Armed Robbery: Why You Shouldn’t Use Your iPhone at Haight and Webster While Waiting for MUNI at 4:00 PM
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011Cause somebody will pull out a gun and steal it from you.
Let’s check the story from Ann Mannix, SFPD Captain of Northern Station:
“Yesterday a guy was waiting for the bus at Haight and Webster (4:15 PM) looking at his phone not paying attention to his surroundings when someone walked right up on him, pointed a gun and stole his iPhone 4.
I bet if he was aware of his surroundings the criminal wouldn’t have targeted him.
Conceal your valuables and be aware of your surroundings, always!”
Apparently, this isn’t a good place to try to hold onto your cellie.
Oh well.
Lower Haight is For Lovers…
…and armed cell phone thieves.
Enjoy!
