Namu Gaji’s colorful new paint job
A few months ago a building at the corner of Dolores and 18th Street started a somewhat belated seismic retrofit, which meant the temporary closure of its two ground floor tenants: hip Korean restaurant Namu Gaji and the ever popular Bi-Rite Creamery. Bi-Rite Creamery never closed entirely, instead operating out of a food truck parked…

Salesforce Tower light show allegedly launched
Today was the grand opening of Salesforce Tower, and with it the alleged launch of a massive 11,000 LED light show on the top of the building. As you can see in my photo above taken from Dolores Park, it was so foggy I’m not even sure which building is which. None of them seem…

Birdhouse for rent in Dolores Park
While the plan to rent sections of Dolores Park to humans ended almost as soon as it began, birds now have the option to rent this lovely apartment dangling from a tree in the park, located at the corner near 20th and Dolores Street. The sign on the apartment doesn’t reveal the price or list…

Dolores Park: What’s in a name?
The freshly renovated section of Dolores Park opens later this week. If you’re like most people, the name “Dolores Park” conjures up images in your mind of a never ending Pabst-soaked frat party. But why is it called Dolores Park? Who — or what — is it named after? Let’s start at the beginning. Originally,…

New murals on Dolores St.
Across from Dolores Park there’s a Christian Science church that’s been shuttered for a number of years. Recently a developer wanted to turn it into housing, but so far that hasn’t happened. Instead it got boarded up, and now those boards have been filled with some spiffy new murals by fnnch, Analog Monsters, MaxEhrman and…

Fogust descends on Dolores Park
This is the time of year when a lot of us take time off for vacation. The season of summer needs time off as well, which is why we have the month of Fogust. A strange thing happens as the fog engulfs the city; the area around Dolores Park is shielded from the fog by…

Looks totally legit
Clearly this is a legitimate organization and not just some Ponzi scheme. And yeah, the poster looks unprofessional, but so what? The people in charge are too busy directing dump trucks full of $100 bills into their driveways while experiencing emotional freedom to bother to learn to use InDesign properly. Spotted at 18th and Dolores

Ironic iron
What’s this? An element sticker? The cool kids are all into chemistry now, I guess. Bill Nye would be proud. But the “irony” of this (if you’ll pardon the pun) is that the metal the sticker is applied to is most definitely not iron. Now that’s a major “fe pas.” Spotted at 18th and Dolores.

18th Street Zoltron art wall revisited
Last time we checked out the Zoltron art wall on 18th St, the collaborative and spontaneous art project was already well underway. I stopped by again today and I’m happy to report that the effort has continued! The ever-changing nature of the wall means there’s always something new. I’ll be a little sad to see…

18th Street Zoltron art wall
Zoltron has covered a plywood wall on the long-boarded up space on 18th and Dolores. Eventually this space will become the new home of Bi-Rite’s 18 Reasons, but for now it’s livening up the Mission’s “Gourmet Ghetto.” Update: It’s a collaborative, spontaneous art piece. I’ll let Zoltron explain what’s going on.
