White iPhone spotted in 1993
Oh and speaking of Star Trek: TNG, here’s something you might not have noticed from Season 6 episode “The Chase” when it first aired in 1993. I want to stress that the following image is not photoshopped or altered in any way: Through a modern lens it’s hard not to look back and see anything…

Sad note
I noticed this sad handwritten letter stuck to the side of a building on Clarion Alley the other day. It reads: My friend died last night. He was stabbed twice in the heart. He was dead before the abulence (sic) arrived. His name was Sol. He had an interview for admission to an art school…

Bark bombing
Remember yarn bombing? Yeah, that’s sooooo 2011. It’s played, man. Get with the times. Now it’s all about bark bombing. Not enough trees in your area? Just wrap your favorite “no parking” sign post in a layer of eucalyptus bark. It adds a natural and outdoorsy essence to the corner. (Spotted at 16th and Sharon)

Alley Barrel’s new rules
Last week, I posted a photo of Alley Barrel’s rules, which notably contains a tongue-in-cheek provision banning hipster conversations. After some local coverage, several major sites covered the story. Why? I dunno, but it was amusing to watch — though a few commenters seemingly interpreted the hipster rule as VERY serious, most readers recognized that…

Lisbon’s Super Mario Bros. obsession
As mentioned in the previous post, Lisbon has a Super Mario thing going on with its street art. Someone must be nostalgic for the 8-bit days. I think the sign in the 4th image is for a bar… can’t be certain since it was closed both times I walked by.

Lisbon street art

Lisbon vs. San Francisco
I spent the last week in a small seaside city that seemed eerily reminiscent of home. Everywhere I looked, there were these little moments of deja vu. Here’s a list of some (surprising) similarities between the two cities, with a few differences thrown in for good measure. Similarities Both cities have a red/orange painted suspension…

Green Day sells out
Remember when Green Day’s pop-friendly rock took over the airwaves in the mid 90’s? Well, times have changed. Billie, Mike, and Tre must have fallen on bad luck, as they’re now licensing their band’s name out for banana chips. If you want to be an American Idiot and try these yourself, they’re sold at Walgreens.

Curry Village takes over Cafe Petra space
The long-shuttered Cafe Petra finally has some action, with a new sign promising a second outpost of the Inner Sunset’s popular Curry Village Indian buffet. It remains to be seen if this particularly quiet stretch of Guerrero can support a restaurant, or how this tiny storefront can house a full buffet. With Pakwan, Gajalee, and…

Terrifying clown recommends spicy Cheetos knockoff
I’ve never been the type to fear clowns. But the clown on this package of knockoff Cheetos at Walgreens makes me want to grab a flashlight and hide under the covers. I imagine if this clown were a real person, his day to day interactions would be something like this: “Psst, hey kid,” the clown…
