Sometime in March, several things happened at once: Fat Bitch broke my shit, Skinny Bitch sent one too many emails, and both told me to stop singing, among other encounters. I needed to move out. So before the whirlwind of apartment hunting, moving, parents visiting, and opening a show happened, I went on one last adventure. For no other reason than I'd never heard of it and my guidebook said there'd be lots of dogs, I went to Bernal Heights.
 |
| To get to it, I walked through the more grungy, less-trendy parts of the mission. Spanish, government housing, and thugs dominated the streets. Gotta love the murals in SF though, this is Cesar Chavez Elementary. That is Cesar Chavez. |
 |
| View from Bernal Heights Park. It's in the South Eastern Part of the city. I think that's the view of downtown. I couldn't even see Golden Gate Park from here. The city is SO much bigger than I realize. |
 |
| The park is this big patch of green on top of a hill. Dogs everywhere. |
 |
| Someone had taken the time to arrange these rocks in a huge path, or sculpture or something. Point is, I spent five-minutes walking around in circles. |
 |
| View from above (and upside down), I think (from L to R) it's a tree, a headless duck/swan, and a heart. |
 |
| Only in SF. |
 |
| Fantastic (and huge) coffee shop in Bernal Heights. It was clearly a converted house with seating in the backyard. |
 |
| Said coffee house. |
 |
| I believe this is on "Virginia Street", Bernal Heights had this quaint small-towny feel, with a main street and everything. My guide-book described it as "never a wealthy neighborhood", but it looked great to me. |
 |
| Love Bomb. I love graffiti. |
 |
| Another elementary school mural, this school's up by Bernal Heights. The mural on the left is called something like "Family" and has interracial, hippie Adam and Eve types on it. |
 |
| YES THAT IS THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE ON THE A MURAL ON THE FRONT OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. HAHAHA. Sometimes I love this city. |
