aSilva took this great long exposure shot from the corner of 17th and SVN.  Tragically, she will not let us see a larger version of the photo, but you can check out a slightly bigger version here.

The best aging hipster ever!

1. Mullet creeping down his back?  Check
2. Denim jacket from the 70s?  Check
3. Walking indifferently with another long-haired companion?  Check
4. Walking with a friend wearing velcro shoes?  Victory

This week on I Heart Street Art, we’re back in the USA. Sunnyside, USA, to be exact, which is a neighborhood near City College a mile or thereabouts southwest of the Mission. It’s pretty clean, but there is one piece of street art there, and I Heart Street Art found it:

I Heart Street Art: Green Thumb

This week, Broke-Ass Stuart‘s Broke-Ass of the Week is Laura from Vegansaurus. Laura shouts out Rainbow, Papalote, Bender’s, Capp Street and more, and is funny:

Our buddy Emamd is back from Egypt, and not a moment too soon! Not that pictures of college girls on camels aren’t great, but we’re glad he’s back on Valencia Street taking pictures of cool kids doing funny cool-kid stuff like this.

Apparently the advertising department at Apple enjoys Tartine Bakery & Cafe.  I just hope they never get hip to Bender’s.
