Friday was very, very cold so I decided to walk to work rather than freeze on the bike. I started off by heading over to Duboce Park where the sun was just coming up:
I headed over to Haight where I saw this mural on Steiner at Haight. So fabulous:
I headed over to Octavia Street. It’s almost miraculous how Hayes valley has transformed since the freeway came down. There’s tons of new construction and renovation and general awesomeness wherever you look:
This is not the best looking building and I applaud how they’ve disguised this with the clever trompe l’oeil paintjob:
I also approve of the paint on this hotel. It’s playful and pretty fantastic:
I headed up to Cathedral Hill and the Cathedral looked fantastic in the morning sun:
Then I headed over to Japantown:
I think this hotel has been recently redone and I really like the use of color on an otherwise pretty bland building:
I headed up over Nob Hill and then into work. It came in a little over five miles. Any benefit of which was more than negated by the falafel and french fry lunch I got from Ayola on Kearny at Bush a couple of hours later. Ah well….
Mr. Poe went to a movie Friday night so I hung out with the dogs and waited for him to get home. Fun day!
