Some pics from this morning's walk in #SanFrancisco
The newly-open Bay Area Young Survivors Breast Cancer Memorial Garden
An outdoor foosball table. I didn't know that outdoor foosball was a thing. It pairs nicely with the nearby outdoor ping-pong tables.
A confusingly-labeled faucet: "Potable water / Used for irrigation / Do not drink" If you don't want me to drink it, why go to the trouble to tell me it's potable (safe to drink)?
A stretch of road at the kinda-newly-open Sunset Dunes Park. I admit I have mixed feelings about how this park turned out. On the one hand, art on the old road is pretty. On the other hand, I was hoping that we'd stop keeping the road dug out from under the sand that keeps blowing over it. But if there's pretty art there, I bet we keep trying to dig out the art so park visitors can appreciate it. Ah well.
Polly Ann ice cream shop: On this May the Fourth, here's a Star Wars memory: Back in the 1970s, when the first Star Wars movie came out, it was quite a fad with the youth, of which I was then a member. Polly Ann ice cream was pretty creative with making up new flavors and theoretically came up with a Star wars flavor. I say "theoretically" because my main experience with it was: Ask parents to take me to Polly Ann; At Polly Ann, ask for "Star Wars" ice cream; they were always sold out of that flavor; "As long as we're here, we might as well get some other flavor." I eventually heard that the Star Wars ice cream didn't taste great: it was black (licorice?) ice cream with pale marshmallow "stars." It looked interesting but tasted "interesting." Thus did a generation of young consumers learn a valuable lesson about movie tie-ins.
Golden Island: As long as I'm snapping pictures of one Noriega Street landmark dessert place, why not snap a picture of the other?
