Artist Seth showed up, wooden panels in tow, and started bolting them onto a wall. Though it’s unclear whether the piece is finished or not, what’s up is fabulous.
Receiver Design shows us the whole process (and a bunch of other Orange Alley art) in the following photo set:
(Thanks, Steven!)

Boy my idea of fabulous and yours are completely different.
any effort to beautify, improve or take even the slightest fucking interest in the hood past the tip of one’s own selfish nose should be construed as “fabulous”.
Totally what I was gonna say.
Ha, I was born in the “Mission Mission” hood, own property here and have more interest in what happens here than most of you carpetbaggers who fled your boring back-east towns and will be gone as soon as mommy’s money runs out. I’m not knocking the installation of the artist, just that I don’t think this particular piece is “fabulous.”
Do I get to have my opinion or must I agree lockstep with the rest of you?
why are you hating?
nice tail.
I’m not hating I just don’t think my opinion should be brushed aside because I don’t feel that this art installation is “fabulous.”
well, for myself, i wasn’t trying to brush your opinion aside.
only making a point that any efforts are “fabulous” in their own way, aesthetic preferences notwithstanding.
far as specific personal response to specific “art”….of course everyone is their own judge.
that said, it does sound like you’re hating. but that’s just my opinion.
I can agree that efforts are fabulous but efforts are a verb. Not so in this case, in my opinion, when applied to a noun in this particular instance. Again no offense to anybody that is just my feeling on this particular piece of art. I apologize if it sounded like I was hating; I’m a native San Franciscan, as loving and accepting as they come.
and for that Glenparker I bow to you. Bow my non native head down to the ground where I lick your native shoes. You are the master of the mission and we all will take note from here on out. Whatever Glenparker says goes! he. is. a. NATIVE!
its funny. he didn’t mention which tribe….
In some respects, I do bow down to SF natives. I’ve only come across a handful, but they’re all full of great stories and unique insights.
On the other hand, how boring would SF be if it were nothing but natives?
SF has always been a magnet city as opposed to, say, any city in Nebraska. In my local bar there are maybe a couple of natives and the rest are all from mostly back east. But I agree, everyone who come here bring a little something different. My problem arises when somebody moves here then starts complaining or bitching about how they don’t like the way things are ( see Chris Daly ).
ha. young or old, native or carpetbagger, everyone can rally around disdain for Chris Daly.
how the fuck does that guy get elected?
