UPDATE: SFist spotted a similar bunch over in North Beach.

There seems to be a new street art movement sweeping the neighborhood (or perhaps just 23rd St), and you’ve still got a chance to get in on the ground floor! And you don’t even have to have a real plastic bag–even a torn tortilla wrapper will do!

Whether it’s commentary on environmentalism (Greenland’s ice sheets are melting!) or consumerism (weren’t plastic bags outlawed in SF?), or merely the work of some bored homeless dude is up to you, but you’ve at least got to admire the variety here.

Also, FYI, none of these can be recycled in your apartment’s street-side bin (only HARD plastic can be), so tell your dumb housemates to stop throwing these in with the recycling!

‘Cause I may have found it. Better go claim it before that window looky-loo figures out where it is.

On second thought, this could be the turning point in some really good story involving cat burglars, a mystical ankle bracelet found in a pawn shop, and roof people versus alley people.

Pascal Rigo, who just sold his bakery to Starbucks for $100 million (in other words, 10% of an Instragam), had some choice words for famed local bakery Tartine:

“[San Francisco] is the only place in the world where a bakery will make money by having bread at five o’clock in the afternoon. And it’s what—40 or 50 loaves, and each one costs seven bucks? It’s good, yes, but to call it a bakery … it’s bull-sheet.”

We’re perfectly happy that La Boulange has made a bunch of money, especially because they deliver great product. Not sure why he’s so mad at another bakery that people are happy to line up to patronize. Read on at grubstreet.

Reviews of Southern Pacific Brewing’s food offerings have been mixed, but one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the sage fries are a winner. Huge portion for only $4, or upgrade your sandwich/burger’s normal fries for 50 cents. Salty, which goes well with beer, and the sage goes well with hops, which are in beer. For what it’s worth, the ham sandwich was also bangin’. I’m officially a fan.

Here’s a thing that’s happening this weekend: Chrome Industries is holding their first ever bike swap in Dolores Park on Sunday. Perfect time to get rid of all those drop bars you swapped out for bullhorns, or all of those brakes you don’t actually use. I hear there’s free beer!

And it looks like Mission Bicycle is already getting into the spirit!  Where are you going to watch the festivities?
