Inhumane animal treatment at Market St. Safeway
It’s come to my attention that the Safeway at Market and Church is treating their adorable “Phat Lamb” sheep in an inhumane manner. Sheep are stuffed into tiny space on shelves with no place to move, or worse, dangled from plastic chains. Please adopt one of these sheep and care for it properly. In the…

Delaware Punch
Is Hawaiian Punch too exotic for you? During my recent trip to Mexico, I discovered a grape-flavored and non-tropical alternative to Hawaiian Punch: Delaware Punch. This beverage from Coca-Cola is not available in much of the US due to health concerns over a food coloring chemical. But that sort of thing never stopped anyone in…

Walk, don’t walk, drop acid
Sometimes I have to stop an ask myself if I just took a mind-altering drug, or if what I’m seeing is real. When I went to hit the walk button the other day, I had to question the state of my consciousness and do a double-take. Spotted at 16th and Mission.

Contrast this to the similarly historic Acropolis in Greece, which has been under a restoration project since the 70’s. Get back to work, Greeks. Some…

New restaurant for 18th and Dolores
Last night I happened to notice this Planning Dept. application for a building permit on the former Studio 3579 space. If you recall, Studio 3579 was a recently shuttered store on the corner of 18th and Dolores, across from Dolores Park Cafe. The planning permit indicates that they’re building out a “full service” restaurant. Considering…

Could you spare any snow?
Earlier tonight, I spotted this fake snowman (snowperson?) at the corner of 17th and Valencia. Although the snowman seemed well groomed and well dressed, the cup seemed to indicate that this snowman was engaging in the popular Mission pastime of spanging. P.S. Oh, and happy new year!

Lily Pond at Golden Gate Park
Check any map of Golden Gate Park. Near the Conservatory of Flowers is the “Lily Pond.” But what exactly is the Lily Pond? Here’s some recent photos. What the photos don’t capture is that there’s water under the green slime. Aside from a few ducks treading water, you might not even notice there’s water. It…
