Handwritten song lyrics taped to pole
I’m not entirely certain what compels someone to write out the lyrics to the 2005 hit Hope There’s Someone by Antony and the Johnsons, then tape the page to a pole in a BART station. Perhaps they were inspired by the recent Avicii version? In all likelihood we’ll never know. It will remain as one…

BART station side hatch
This morning I arrived at the 16th Mission BART station only to find the entry was blocked by a steel gate! Oh no! How would I get to work? Turns out a detour through a secret passage was necessary, as documented in the photos below.

New BART trains don’t address boarding issue
The new BART train cars will have lots of improvements over the current ones. But there’s one boarding issue that they didn’t quite tackle. See what’s missing from their design, as pictured above?

Things San Franciscans despise: filth
Most visitors would be shocked to learn that San Franciscans hate filth. Ours is a city that doesn’t want to stay clean, but we try our best.

Yet another punk show at 16th Mission Bart
Yesterday evening we had another little punk show at the 16th Mission Bart stop. Unlike many previous shows, this one was right in the middle of things; not much buffer zone between the audience and the band. I wasn’t there when they finished up, but I hear that things ended quite early.

Live poetry at 16th Mission Bart
On the way back from a semi-productive evening at Noisebridge, I happened across a live poetry show at the 16th and Mission Bart plaza. There were at least two performers taking turns with lively oration from a chalk circle, surrounded by hip types, hobos, and the union of crack consumers. Seemingly this was what one…
