Block Rocker
We think that if he knew us, Charles over at SFist would get us. Like really get us. He’s about 20 posts in to a weekly series called Blocker, where he explores a specific block of San Francisco, noticing all that usually goes unnoticed. Like a true merry wanderer, he snaps photos of birds and colorful doors and barefoot surfers, and documents the smallest diary-worthy details with literary flare, such as “homes here come in a few different flavors, with the most popular appearing to be lime and bubble gum. Blueberry ice also appears to be a contender.” His Thoreau-esque musings not only mellow me out (and if you’ve read my recent posts, you know that me and mellow is hard to come by) but they are also reminders that despite all the concrete and steel condo towers that seem to be closing in on us, there’s still a heck of a lot about this town that’s downright lovely.
