Fri: Too Many Hearts, Not Enough Love
Pen Pop: How could one deny that darling eye? A love-lorn shark pops the question at the terminus of the N-Judah. And at once hearts pop up around the city. A red one atop a hydrant, a pierced one on a mailbox, a yellow yarn one woven into a hurricane fence, and another red one between two windows.
Faces on the Street
PENPOP: Using what’s there: two googly eyes create a goofy face in the Castro; a familiar turtle squints with the eye of a chick in the Mission; the Demon of Beer Picnics grimaces on the wall at Ocean Beach; and an undead bunny drips on a sign near the Panhandle.

New Parklets Pop Up
Eight new parklets have been approved by the city with nine more in varying stages of approval. As the SF Examiner tweeted: “More San Francisco parking spots to be converted to parklets.” Each mini park takes up roughly 2 parking spots.
