Missed Statute

This statute must have been where it is at (by Asian Art Museum) forever but I had never noticed it before.

Anyone Lost Their Keys??

If you happen to have lost your keys around financial district, you may find in the alley adjuacent to Palace Hotel. There is actually quite a few of them.

666 Bike

A cool bike. The owner obviously liked 666 a lot. You see it on tank and below.

666 address

Anyone interested in an interesting address? Only in San Francico, it will be so prominently displayed. Then again it is not as bad as 13.

Sales till Summer

The banners are up. Everyone has a sale till the Summer shopping season when the tourists come back.

Burrito Stories: Taqueria Pancho Villa

This huge Taqueria on Mission is an awesome place to grab any simple and inexpensive Mexican food item. The ingredients are the best, the selections and the menu is great, and the staff are efficient. The lighting and decor are actually balanced. The place seats over 100 easily and does not look it. They have a separate menu just for vegetarian burritos. Whatever you do, do not order a Baby Burrito (to consume the least quantity of meat) because you find out small is not macho and you are violating a strong cultural norm there. Big is the way to go. Like I care

Christmas Gift Anyone??

What the f#@%$k is this? it looks like a brassknockle but i don’t think it is even a weapon. It should only exist in a video game context and not in the window of a very public shop. It is on sale by the way. How do you even handle this if it was a weapon. It is more of a threat to the user by misuse and mistake than anyone else. It is ridicolous what people sell and buy ordinarily.

All Swords Must Go!!

Yes. All swords must go. I told you in an older post soon sale signs will go up all over SF. This is a good one. Look at the unusual thing down in the corner. You find a post with better pics nearby to read.

What About This?

What exactly is this? Obviously it is a picture of Maker’s Mark put through a difficult stunt by a still photographer. What else can it be? It is also a sign of poor economy. The pompous and obnoxious Embarcadero Center has a dozen of these ads hanging all over. They look nice upclose.

Coffeeshop Tales: Philz Coffee

I have no story to tell about Philz Coffee. The make awesome coffee one-cup-at-a-time. As it usually goes with such shops, they are not very good at much else. The furniture at this location looks (but feels better) like was collected from about a dozen different garage sales. The WiFi works good and the lighting and the atmosphere meet the minimum requirements. The coffee is worth a trip to any of their locations. That is about it. Nothing else to offer.
