After work I headed off 2nd to Howard to 11th to Harrison to 20th to Capp. There are a number of beautiful buildings on Capp Street in the Mission, many of them in various stages of decay:
I love this apartment building! The architecture is just OK but I love the lettering of the name of it. Fabulous:
This Buddhist Temple on 22nd and Capp was St. Johannes’ German Evangelical Lutheran Mission once upon a time:
I love this fabulous mural on this Deli:
I continued on 22nd to Treat. This is pretty Garfield Square at 25th and Treat:
This is the fabulous McCarthy Mansion that’s on Treat between 25th and is currently for sale. It’s all masonry which is pretty unusual in the Mission. It reminds me of New Orleans because it’s so fabulous/run down. Alas, it’s in the most violent part of the Mission and a block from the projects. I’d never want to live in that neighborhood regardless of how fabulous the house was. You can visit the web site here:
I did appreciate all the white hot latino soccer fans milling about. Caliente!
I continued on Treat to 26th to Harrison to Precita to Mission to Silver to Alemeny to Sagamore to Brotherhood Way to Lake Merced to John Muir. Lake Merced looks gorgeous in the sun:
Me:
I continued on John Muir to Skyline to the Great Highway. It was gorgeous at Ocean Beach:
I continued on the Great Highway to Wawona to 30th to Vicente to 18th to Ulloa to 17th to Taravel to Merced to Hernandez to Laguna Honda to Portola to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.
Mr. Poe reported that Sofi and Rufus inadvertently romped on poor little Ashley and made him cry and Mimi came tearing after them and chased both of them out of the house. Evidently, if anybody’s gonna kick Ashley’s ass, it’s gonna be Mimi. Luckily, nobody was hurt.
