  • Bangkok 16 is closed

    Bangkok 16

    First Ti Couz, now Bangkok 16? This stretch of 16th is starting to look a bit sparse.

    Hopefully someone new will open up in this space to provide late-night snacks for thirsty Elixir patrons.

  • Quite Zone

  • Important Things in Life part 2

    Important things in Life

    Last time we learned about the importance of eyebrows and love. Today, it’s a bit more new agey.

  • Bombay Ice Cream

    Now that Bombay Bazaar and Ice Cream has moved, did you trek all the way out to 13th and South Van Ness? No? Jerk. Maybe next time you’re at Rainbow stocking up on tofu-scented incense, you should also drop by Bombay.

    Sadly, they no longer have counter service, it’s a strictly pre-packaged endeavor now. But they still have the strange flavors you know and grew to love.

  • 16th Mission Bart treepocalypse 2011

    No more tree

    Sadly, the tree at the drug emporium Bart station on 16th and Mission has been removed. This tree has seen much action over the years, from concerts, to shooting up, to commuters, to meth smoking, to poetry slams. Your shade will be missed. by many, tree.

  • What the fuck is this??

    What the fuck is this??

    I’m inclined to agree with the vandal here: what the fuck is this mystery box attached to the light pole? It doesn’t seem to have any wires sticking out. If it’s electric it must have a battery… or maybe it’s using one of those wireless power things like in an electric toothbrush charger.

    Or maybe it’s just an empty plastic box.

    Regardless, the box is a mystery. Do you know what it is? Drop me a line. Otherwise I might have to go out there with a screwdriver and find out the hard way.

    Spotted outside of Community Thrift

  • Hauler!

    This may be the best ad on the side of a truck I’ve ever seen.

    Stop Hatin'

    Got that? Time to stop the hatin’, folks.

    Spotted at 16th and Valencia.

  • Bowling car

    On my way to Four Barrel, I came across this rather, um, unusual bowling-themed art car. It was a little Fiat with bowling pins that went in and out of the side of the car.

    I wasn’t able to find the owner, but of course he showed up and immediately drove away while I was getting coffee. D’oh!

    Anyway, I imagine he wouldn’t be to happy if I’d thrown a bowling ball at his lovely car, but it was rather tempting.
