Pigeon undaunted by owl statue
Call me crazy, but I kinda like pigeons. They’re simple, awkward creatures that — despite the bad press they get — don’t really hurt anyone. And yes, I’d probably feel differently if I owned a car. While we may sit back and laugh at the apparent stupidity of the pigeons, sometimes I question whether we’re…

West of Pecos opens Monday, May 14th
West of Pecos, the new restaurant from the Woodhouse Fish Company folks, is slated to open this Monday, May 14th. As you may recall, this newly built-out restaurant replaces the old Valencia St location of beloved Indian ice cream joint, Bombay Bazar. For more on West of Pecos, check Eater’s coverage here.

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?

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.

Stripper pole truck
First came the food trucks, then the bookmobiles, the bloodmobiles, and now… the stripper pole truck. Has the truck-ification movement finally gone too far? Alas, no strippers were to be found when I took this photo. Seeing as how this truck was in a church parking zone, I can only assume the strippers were at…

Pipe vagina
When you think of pipes, you don’t tend to think of female anatomy. Well, that’s where your wrong! Female pipes do exist. The above photo is one spotted in the wild; you can tell it’s female because it has a pipe vagina. Spotted at 15th and Capp.

Rare globe tree found on Capp St
Ah yes, fellow safari travelers! This is a rare, exquisite example of the mythical “globe tree,” found only in the thickest of urban jungles.

Valencia chalkboard
The boarded-up former Bombay Creamery space is now hosting a chalkboard where passers-by can scribble a proclamation of love, a poem, or maybe some expletives. No word on whether the chalkboard was an official installation, or if it was the work of an underground street artist. Either way, leave a note on there soon because…
