How much will it cost to mail a first-class letter in five years? I’m thinking a dollar…
This is the before photo.
It was quite striking, in the serious moonlight:

Some would like to cite the owner of this pimped ride (you know, because of the “blight.”)
Would you approve of that?
Via the excellent Uptown Almanac comes news of this anti-MUNI bumper sticker campaign:
Beej Weir with deets here and here.
“The bottom of the sticker reads: “ASSAULTING A PARKING CONTROL OFFICER IS A CRIME. SO DON’T GET CAUGHT.”- WACKO 1“
As previously noted, harsh.
“California Penal Code 241 — Assault, punishment. (“(b) When an assault is committed against the person of a parking control officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, and the person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a parking control officer, the assault is punishable by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by both the fine and imprisonment.”
So much for “Good People, Tough Jobs.”
Here’s what’s up with that - If you operate a television news station in the San Francisco Bay Area, life’s a little easier when you don’t plaster your rolling stock with gaudy graphics.
‘Cause if you put your station name on your vans, then some vandals will come around with a can of spray paint (what’s that? you yourself don’t carry spray paint with on your person at all times?) and write “Fuck The Corporate Media” all over said vans. Thusly.

Of course, “Fuck the Corporate Media” was quite the meme back in 2005. Witness the start of the downward spiral of Josh Wolf (aka “Insurgent,” srsly) that ended up landing him in the hoosegow.
But now, this “legend among journalists” is with the corporate media (or what looks like the corporate media, what with all the ads ’n stuff) himself.
Isn’t it ironic, dont’cha think?
In one fell swoop, ten garage doors from this building got tagged. Oh well.
What else can you do, but get to work with your pickle buckets and can of WD-40?
Well, park it where you want, but don’t be surprised if it looks like this by the next day.
Local artists used this Sprinter 2500 van as their canvas:
