Another Bowling Alley For SF?
First it was Lucky Strike, which opened across the street from AT&T Park. Then it was the Mission Bowling Club. But is a third bowling alley possibly moving to the Richmond District?
Richmond Round-Up
The major news in the Richmond this past week was of course the Outside Lands Music Festival. The Richmond SF blog has a nice photo and video collection from all that was Outside Lands 2011.
Good Business is the Best Art
Pen Pop: Street Art is more than just murals and graffiti. It’s the color of store displays and traffic cones; it’s a restaurant’s no-smoking notice; and it’s the handmade sign of mom & pop stores. Noticing these different compositions, colors, and mediums is one of the joys of walking around the city. See it all after the jump.
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.

Richmond Gang-Rape Victim Gets $4 Million
The 15-year old girl who was gang-raped by over a dozen males in a remote courtyard outside Richmond High School during a homecoming dance Oct. 24, 2009, has settled a civic suit for $4 million. She will get $2.5 million right away and the other $2.5 million will be doled out over the course of 40 years. I guess this is one positive thing to come out of such a tragic, horrific story.
