For goodness’ sake, when will somebody turn this place into something cool?

I know I mentioned this before, and some lovely discussion followed, but this epic shot by Jeremy Brooks just begs for the question to be asked again: Why is this building not already some kind of awesome thing?

Granny fashion

Fashionist featured this incredible grandma-influenced–err–grandma-inherited ensemble. The authenticity of this ‘fit goes as far as the underwear, though there are no shots of that, you dog.

Do you think your grandkids will be sporting our your neon fake Ray Bans, 40-year unwashed denim, V-neck T’s, and crusty Keds? Only time will tell.

It’s 80 degrees in the park right now

But temps drop significantly over the next couple days. So you should probably get a “stomach ache” and “head home early” RIGHT NOW. (See you in the park!)

Cars video promotes graffiti, kind of looks like a ripoff of Ferocious Few video

The song is an instant classic though:

Instant classic! Doesn’t it make you want to ditch the office and head for the park?

Watch the Ferocious Few video in question here. Stream the entire new Cars album here (though it’s not all this good).

In-N-Out Burgers in Dolores Park

Damn, this looks like fun. How about as soon as Chaac Mool moves out, we let In-N-Out in? Nobody could possibly be opposed to that, right?

Or maybe TCB Courier could put together some kind of arrangement? Their riders are pret-ty fast.

Wearing a backpack on stage like you’ve got better things to do

Yeah, that’s pretty baller.

I think this was some combination of Silian Rail and a few dudes from some other bands.

Rad Mummy

That’s right, it’s Mummy Week on Mission Mission. But seriously, this mummy is rad.

Bikes and Beats at Public Works Friday

Are you itching to party in San Francisco’s arbitrarily-named neighborhood Somisspo? Well Bikes and Beats is going down there this Friday at Public Works. ‘Deep, who you know as the guy on the speaker-loaded tricycle, will be among the many DJs of the evening, so expect such crowd pleasers as MJ’s “Don’t stop ’til you get enough” . There will be eats, prizes, and bike crafts.

If you want to make a whole night of it, the event takes place at right after the Friday 7:30pm SF Bike Party, AKA the “nice” Critical Mass with bouncy castles. And don’t worry: there will be bike valet to handle the venue’s dire bike parking situation.

Single-family cathedral across from Dolores Park is finally off the market

And it’s going to become some kind of day school. Curbed SF reports:

The space will be used for the Children’s Day School’s middle school, plus a large gathering/performance space which it plans to make available to community groups [...]

That last part seems cool. Read on.

The main thing is, does “Allan’s Bi-Monthly Ping Pong and Berlin Techno Mixer” qualify as a community group?

UPDATE: The school already has an official website.

Muni vehicles racing up Market a million years ago

This shot comes from a Flickr account called MUNI – BETTER LATE THAN NEVER that’s full of tons more old shots like this. But I like this one especially. It’s like we’re there. A million years ago.
