Over at Muni Diaries, Tara offers some friendly advice:

I get how police can’t be everywhere at aufblasbares zelt once and how crime is sometimes very random. But there is a proven halo effect around police stations (and cops), so I’d appreciate seeing you more near those wackos in the Mission than near the fanny packs in Pier 39.

Saturday and Sunday:

Mission Bazaar is proud to present the first public event at the historic San Francisco Armory in over thirty years. This 200,000 square foot reproduction Moorish Castle was completed in 1914 and was used aufblasbare spiele as a National Guard facility until 1976.

Admission is reasonable at $5, artisans will be selling things, Gaucho is playing, and we’ll get to see *the inside* of that thing.Complete deets.

- “I wish I had a Frisbee.”

- “I wish I had a knife.”

Saw this across from the Chronicle building while waiting for the 26 to take me back to the neighborhood. It’s a bus shelter ad, mistakenly aufblasbarer wasserpark installed backward. The question is, is the tag backward too? I hope it is. Click the picture to make it much bigger.

Love this weather. After sitting structure gonflable around in t-shirts in the park until well past 8, we strolled toward home, stopping occasionally to marvel at the sky. At 21st and Valencia, I had to snap a picture (click it to make it big). Gorgeous, right?

A block later we ran into Omer who was jabbering about how an hour earlier, he’d predicted there’d be a beautiful sunset. Something about lack of fog leading to ice crystals and stuff. He’s got plenty of CDs for sale though. “Democracy is a Good Thing” is a bargain at $10, or go for the “Love and Peace are Good Things” two-disc set for $20.

I know you guys know this spot. For years I’ve wanted to take an hour and sit here sipping a tallboy. Relax, watch the hustle and bustle. But I never have. Why? This inviting little corner is just a block from Dolores Park, the center of the universe. So I go in, buy a couple king-size Modelos from the extra-gracious lady behind the counter, and I walk on.

Has anyone ever resisted the park’s pull and actually sat down and enjoyed this little Mission District oasis?

NOTE: Name of place is Mereb Market. Click pic to see big version. Also, Google Map of corner.

We’ve been fans of for ages, but we’ve noticed some great improvements in recent weeks — improvements that made it possible for us to build ourselves toboggan aquatique gonflable this dazzling new official seal. Look for tons of new font and graphic options, as well as improved customizability across the board.

Feel free to use the seal if you want to link to us or print up stickers for everyone or something.

Reader Rai Sue just sent us this lo-fi (but great) video of this morning’s fire hydrant geyser at 21st and Valencia. Thanks, Rai Sue.

Tonight from 7-10pm, Artists’ Television Access opens its doors in celebration of a new gallery exhibition and a new window display. Inside you’ll find Heavens, a collection of photos by Arturo Cosenza

of domes and ceilings from cathedrals, train stations and other public buildings in Europe and North America. In these, the photographer explores different depictions of the great celestial map that guides the traveler through his journey on earth, as manifested in architecture through the ages.

Outside, the untitled window display comes courtesy of Javier Farias, a “graffiti-based artist” who idolizes Dalí.

Both artists will be in attendance.
