Harvey Milk stencil
A new stencil appeared around town lately depicting the late civil rights icon Harvey Milk. But would Milk have been okay with defacing public property with, well, his face? And would he be able to appreciate the irony of the color choice (white)? I don’t know the answer to these questions. But perhaps John Avalos…

Never Forget Jesse Morris
Someone has taken to printing up stickers to commemorate Jesse Morris, the much beloved busker who was best known for his Johnny Cash covers. While this may seem like an odd way to pay tribute to someone’s memory, Morris spent his time on street corners and Bart stations. It’s fitting, then, that these stickers are…

Belgian eatery enforces rules with stiletto skullcrusher
They say “rules are made to be broken,” but the truth is that rules are made to be ignored. If you don’t believe that, then I have a pop quiz about the iTunes terms you agreed to last month. So when you have a rule that’s important, how do you get people to pay attention?…

Muni wishes you a Happy Halloween
While an educated observer might note that Halloween was, like, six months ago or something, there hasn’t been a compelling reason to stop celebrating. Muni certainly hasn’t, as seen above. In the immortal words of Ministry, “Everyday is Halloween.” So why not celebrate? Put on that costume and break out your flask, it’s time to…

Some cleaning accomplishments we’re especially proud of include: Yes, we live in moldy old buildings. Yes, the entire city often smells terrible. And yes, that’s human urine on…

How to wait for the 22 Fillmore
Is the wait for the 22 too long? “No shit,” you mutter under your breath, steam coming out your ears and veins popping out of your forehead. Fortunately, some smart local folks have apparently figured out a way to make the 22’s notoriously inconsistent schedule work in their favor: with sangria. Now on most Muni…

People love us on Yelp
Don’t tell me I’m the only one who’s noticed the Yelp logo stuck to this painting at Little Star on Valencia. Is this a subtle hint that diners should rate Little Star on Yelp?

Unpainted advent calendars stuck to Four Barrel’s ceiling
Hey kids, ready for Christmas? Too bad, it’s more than eight months away! Ha ha! Oh, and what’s that? Yeah, Santa already ate the chocolates from your advent calendars, then I stuck them to the ceiling at Four Barrel. Sorry, the big guy was drunk.

Bikes invade furniture store
San Francisco based Public Bikes is temporarily taking over part of Harrington, that massive (and pricey) used furniture store on the corner of Valencia and 17th.
