  • 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…

  • No toilet stopping

    No stopping this toilet, folks. If you take a number two here and can’t flush, you’d better plunge it yourself — or you can expect a steep fine from SFMTA. And don’t even ask how they’ll tow you. (Spotted on Caledonia and 15th St.)

Be sure to stand in front of this and measure yourself before someone paints over…

  • I Love You

    Flyers proclaiming their love for you have started appearing around the Mission. Is this some kind of viral marketing for a new romcom staring Adam Sandler? Someone’s unusual art project? The CIA’s new mind control experiment? Who knows. The posters direct you to visit LoveYou2.org, a mostly empty page which directs you to a rather…

  • BpURGERS

    BpURGER? Is that a hamburger made with genuine BP-brand petroleum? (And yes, that’s the new-ish menu at Pork Store on 16th.)

  • Celeri

    Oddly enough, this misspelling is actually correct French. But something tells me that’s not what the folks at La Loma Produce were going for: this is the place that brought us the estraberi, after all.

  • Does Orange County have more hipsters than San Francisco?

    It sounds like a question fit for a parallel universe: could Orange County have more hipsters than San Francisco? According to Priceonomics Blog, based on the number of fixed-gear bicycles, Orange County is the hippest place in America. The “Fixie Index” ranks San Francisco 4th — losing out to retro-ironic meccas LA and San Jose.…
