This may be the best ad on the side of a truck I’ve ever seen.
Spotted at 17th and Dolores.

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.

Civet poop in my coffee cup
Recently, Vic Wong of MissionMission was kind enough to invite a few of us over to taste Kopi Luwak, a type of coffee that’s consumed by a civet and, well — shat out — before it’s consumed as coffee.
I can’t say I particularly enjoyed the taste, but you can read more about this over at MissionMission.

Project Rainbow at Little Roxie
“Project Rainbow” is an art installation in the window of Little Roxie on 16th and Valencia. A mannequin reaches out to television sets displaying mysterious images while wading in a sea of candy. Weird!
Note that despite a credit for “audio,” I didn’t hear anything while I was taking these photos.

Estraberis are back!
You might recall the favorite fruit of Spaniglish-speakers everywhere, the estraberi showing up at Loma Produce last year.
Well thanks to this photo by Alexia Anthem, we can see that estraberis have returned to Loma Produce for 2011!

Bombay Bazar and Ice Cream is back!
According to this flyer, plastered all over the 16th and Valencia area today, Bombay Bazar and Ice Cream has moved to a new location and is once again selling Indian foods, items, and their crazy (but delicious) ice cream flavors.
The address listed, 245 South Van Ness, is the home of Lost Art Salon according to Google Maps and Yelp. (No word online about Lost Art’s closure/relocation.)

Shakespeare sticker
How often does “The Bard” get honored in street art? Not often enough!
