I thought you all were on top of this sitch.
What’s your long-term plan, DPR? Oh, I know, give you all more money. But if that’s not going to happen, what if we just take this whole statue thing out? Would you like that DPR?

Anyway, I think KKKatie is still in the hoosegow, but SFNOB(?) and cat-face have taken over the reigns…
It goes back and forth, but lately, RPD has been in the game.
(Perhaps local real estate interests have the ear of the powers that be these days.)
Here’s what 2011, 2010, 2010, and 2010 looked like.
And this here is the sitch a third of the way through 2012:

Looks fine to me.
That’s the update.
Leaving you will a gallery of older graffiti:
I could go either way.
As seen in the Western A (or what rich white people call the Alamo Square Historical District, so you don’t think that they live in or near the PJ’s):

Here are your reading notes:
Gen Fujioka of the Chinatown Community Development Center is involved with promoting the horrible Central Subway to Nowhere.
Artist Ann Sherry is fortunate to get a five-figure commission for anything, so I’m not sure why she’s so perpetually cranky.
It’s not smart to put up images of authority figures (you know, people in military of police uniforms) in a sort of wild part of town
I don’t know, maybe this was a bad idea from the start?
I don’t know, maybe San Francisco government has lots of bad ideas, you know, from the start?
What can we learn from this episode?

Let’s all applaud this youthful artiste de rue for his restraint, for his thoughtfulness.
*Complete with a sliding-glass(!) main-entrance door (and a sign telling everybody how to operate it).
Andrew Dudley of the Haighteration blog has a heck of a gallery of the infamous American Appareal MUNI bus shelter ad what’s on the corner of Haight and Pierce.

| IP Address | 66.151.52.# (American Apparel) |
AA just loooooooves this kind of stuff, IMO.)
Anyway, here’s my contribution, from a little while back:
I don’t have a clean image of this erbiquitous American Apparel bus stop ad campaign that’s all over the SFMTA’s MUNI property these days, but you probably already know what it looks like.
