I was posting pictures of this movie a couple nights before this post went up.

I meant the glimpse of “Paco’s” Tacos on 24th Street and S. Van Ness. Tito’s Tacos is in Culver City, CA–a fine establishment, btw.
And the women at 3:19 in the market was named Elba – she was quite an active community member at the time.

Some locals, like the woman at 3:19, got a speaking part. I forgot her name but she was from family that attended St. Peter’s Parish. I remember they created the facade for the Pawn Shop and the crew constantly wetting down the streets. I also recall how disappointed people were when the movie came out–it was a forgettable bore. But man, they had some serious talent there. Nice to see a glimpse of Tito’s Tacos and the York Theater–where I went to see movies every weekend before the VCR did it in.

What’s the deal with Turtle? Does he have the munchies or just an SF eccentric?

The Mission was a double parked car lot, and cars were up on the sidewalk on 20th st (where I lived in ’87-89) I got smart, and sold my car.
