If you can call Bradford a street, as some do.
Anyway, this is a view of part of it.

It’s not your fault
Wouldn’t the Google Bus have been better off on 24th? I think so.
And hey, didn’t former Supervisor Bevan Dufty meet with area NIMBY’s to iron things out a half-decade ago?
I think so. Actually, I know so. It looked like this:
But the wealthy, white, wizened NIMBYs of Noe still weren’t satisfied.
Oh well.
I hope you’re happy, NIMBIES! Look what you made Google do.
(Or maybe the driver just got lost. You’d think he’d have a map with no-go areas marked out.)
(Do Googlers Google on Sundays? Not that I know of, but they go on fun field trips from time to time, wine tastings and the like, I hear.)
I’ll tell you, Google prolly hasn’t been this embarrassed since that federal cop busted the Maps Car in the Presidio.
Here’s the chase, recorded by Google itself:
And here’s the bust, apparently for not getting a permit from the Presidio Trust after the Presidio Trust told Google it would need a permit:
All right, let’s be careful out there, Google!

The Steeply Pitched Roofs of these Five San Francisco Houses are Delightful
Monday, September 21st, 2009See?
Perhaps after Trauma gets cancelled by the suits at NBC, Hollywood could come back to town to remake Full House, excepting they could use these residences instead one of the Seven Sisters of Alamo Square.
They could call it Full Houses or something. Then some director dude in a baseball cap could talk about how he considers the houses themselves to be characters (before or after he ID’s hisself as a “story teller” or a “teller of stories”, you know the drill)

Just lovely.
“Does NBC seriously think they can retain viewers after their disgraceful cancellation of numerous shows with loyal fans. These morons should just sell the network to Fox or any other network with some brains. Trauma will be on for 10 episodes then cancelled to make space for the NBC Real World Marathon. Nothing But Clowns network.”
The Freaky Pigeons of the Lower Haight Appear to be Glued to the Rooftops
Monday, July 13th, 2009The peaked roofs of the Hayes Valley South HOPE VI projects just off Haight Street play host to gravity-defying pigeons. Will they get evicted when the solar panels come?
Yes, these boids will have a tough time gaining traction on the solar panels.

The Many Steps of San Francisco’s Filbert Street
Saturday, June 13th, 2009Of course, there’s the Filbert Street steps, where you’ll find the Tatiana tiger shrine and a misplaced parking meter, but that’s in another neighborhood from what you see here. It’s Filbert in Russian Hill reaching up to Hyde Street and the cable cars.
This is what a 31.5% grade looks like – so steep they put in stair steps for you.

The Reason Why San Francisco Has Cable Cars
Thursday, February 19th, 2009The reason why San Francisco put in cable cars in the first place was general hilliness, as here on California Street in Nob Hill. See the tracks near the middle of the street?
But none of these blocks makes the list of the steepest in San Francisco and it’s not too far, so you can always hoof it up this short distance instead (unless you’re wearing pretty shoes).
