Ah mem’ries;
First it was all like this (Yes, this is the view you’ll get of the 415′s famous wild parrots from our Filbert Steps.)
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill
But now it’s all like this. (Gee, should I get a Chinese character inked on my Europid skin and be a laughingstock for the rest of my life or should I get something cool like this instead? Mmmm, decisions, decisions…)

That’s the best tattoo I’ve seen in the 415.
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill were made famous a few years back by the movie with the same name. Get the new Special Two-Disc Collector’s Edition today, why don’t you?

Just like a Popsicle Firecracker, non?
Did you know that the first popsicle was made in San Francisco by 11-year-old on a freezing night in 1905?

Will their chicks soon join the flock in Telegraph Hill?
Or maybe they’ll just end up hanging out in Sue Bierman Park eating flowers:
It will be one or the other, probably…
Finally got SFCitizenShip One flying again after that whole thing with the F.A.A. and after replacing those troublesome port and starboard oblique overlockers, so check out these Euros who paid five Euro each to make it atop world-famous Coit Tower.
