Home Again

This sight always makes me feel pretty good. Nicely captured by juicyrai. Definitely do click to enlarge.

Update: Haha. Jake says

LOL at first comment on Flickr page: “Just wish they could dump the chain link fence for something a bit more regal. Chain link fencing isn’t very welcoming.”

For serious, BART! Who you gotta blow to maybe get some western red cedar fencing up in this bitch? I CANNOT COME HOME TO THIS CHAINLINK BULLSHIT OKAY

    when i moved to SF i always got a warm feeling going in & out of the 16th street station. the subway aspect was a little piece of home…

    bart trains were carpeted, and the little ‘beep beep’ when they pull into the station….kinda quaint & homey. thoth would play the violin and dance…

    and the brontosauruses on mission street were kinda cool too.

    Dude, what fucker displaced the brontosauruses?

    well, i WANT to say “taxidermy mice killed them”, but i’m over that shit now.

    let’s say they kinda died out over time.

    still a few of us dinosaurs left though…

    I want guerilla artists to replace that shit asap.

    Girafa, Jesse Hazelip, Laura Mappin, have at it.

    An armed Girafanocerous would be EPIC. Oh, man, can you imagine?

  9. [...] I still want my infill BART station at 30th though  — La Lengua’s easily worth half a billion of stimulus funds!  PDFs on BART’s planning website (part B has all the construction porn). Bored tunnel, not cut-and-cover (like the rest of Mission was done), estimated 3.5 years of construction time, with just 11 months of traffic distruption, and a huge hole in the Safeway parking lot and Valencia/29th to get the dirt out and cement in. All for beautiful entrances at 29th and 30th, and a nice new building for El Patio! It could be our Carlo’s, where commuters are welcome… [...]
