Steven Weinberg of Telephone and Soup mentioned this to me the other day, sent me on a wild goose chase looking for them. Today, he remembered where they actually were, and went and took these nice pictures. Beats your old Reeboks, right? Thanks, Steven!
where exactly is this fine specimen of a public art installation?
19th Street somewhere between Valencia and Guerrero.
The converted synagogue, white & blue in the background, is on the south side, just west of Mission Pool (and Park). My friend lives there.
That’s…. just awesome.
@C – i’ve always wondered about the converted synagogue.
is it interesting inside?
There’s a story behind these: http://grignani.org/thoughts/tag/bird-on-a-wire/
