  • Tuesday, April 1

    When I headed home for lunch there was something going on Sansome between Bush and Sutter.  There were people protesting or celebrating or something and this was parked on the street:

    After work I headed off 2nd to Howard where I got a few shots of Jollibee.  The Filipino fast food chain that is relentlessly cheerful:

      

    I took Howard to 5th to Brannon and stopped into REI to pick up the last of my Anniversary sale haul.  Then I continued Brannon to Potrero where I stopped to take some pics of San Francisco General Hospital.  At first, I thought it was another addition to my list of Maya revival structures from the 20's and 30's.  But it isn't.  I think it's a Persian revival style.  I haven't been able to find out anything about it:

       

    I think the other old buildings on the site are Romanesque:

    I took Potrero to Cesar Chavez to Hampshire to 26th where I saw this gorgeous Victorian sitting all by itself in a pretty sketchy neighborhood.  Whoever lives there must love that house a lot because it's really well done and in such a crappy area:  It was probably originally on a much larger piece of land:

      

    I continued on 26th to Harrison where I took a pic of Flynn Elementary which is home to dazzling murals and mosaics:

    I took Harrison to Precita to Mission.  I love love love the decoration of this club, the Roccapulco:

    I took Mission to Richland to Leese to Crescent to Agnon to Justin to Saint Mary's Park.  I took the footbride ofver 280 and then Trumball to Cambridge to Felton to San Bruno into Bayshore to Guadalupe Canyon Parkway.  I took it into E Market to San Pedro to Washington to 87th to Park Plaza to John Daly to Lake Merced to Higuera to Arballo to Font to Holloway to Junipero Serra.  There's a side road off of the main one and I got a nice shot of the entrance to Ingleside Terraces:

    And also to Balboa Terrace:

    I followed Junipero Serra to Saint Francis where I got a shot of the fading light from Santa Ana:

    I took Santa Ana to Portola to Corbett and home.  Fantastic ride.
