Viva La Lengua, Viva La Lengua Libre!
July 27, 2010The La Lengua Revolutionary Army (LaLeRa) has noted the unprovoked acts of aggression on the part of the San Francisco Association of Realtors to subsume the chosen land of La Lengua into Bernal Heights from the Mission.

This travesty shall not stand! Please consider these facts:
1) Bernal “Heights”. Heights. (Bernalians, we know this is not of your doing — you are entitled to safe passage.)
2) “Mission” St.
LaLeRa suggests La Lengüense adopt one of these two battle flags to be deployed on sight against any realtor found within our borders:
Or our new standard:

Viva La Lengua Libre! For Great Justice! La Lengüense, Unite!

No No SoCha, Si Si La Lengua
April 13, 2010Facepalm. SFGate is at it again.
While they clearly recognize the impending superiority of La Lengua, they keep calling it unworthy names like “SoCha” or “San Jose Guerrero.” (SanJoGue?) Come on people, stop being so derivative and/or literal. Never mind that the 555 Bartlett building (hey, open a bar called the Triple Nickel!) would be in NoCha, not SoCha.
La Lengua es claramente más awesomente!
I am proud to say that people who are not me have already taken to the comments section spreading the awesomeness of our toponym. The SFist thread is already well covered, but once again I ask you to hold your noses (and any other orifices) and dive into the SFGate thread. A grand party will ensue once we get it in print!
Amazingly there are a few rational voices in the SFGate comment pit. This is my favorite:

To those of you complaining about CC/Army getting remodeled and “ruining your commute”: bite me. I live here and I’m freaking sick of crossing the street with my daughter and having to watch out for all you pinheads going 40mph hell-bent for the 101 all the while talking on your cell. I hope the new street makes you late every day.
UPDATE: Oh CurbedSF, I thought you knew better. (Clever title though.)
Get on it, folks.

Cartography Meets Gastronomy
March 21, 2010Cherry Chaicharn of August Table currently resides in Hong Kong. Luckily for us, this former SF city planner has made a rather lovely series of plates on maps. Cartography meets gastronomy — what more could you possibly ask for?
A plate featuring La Lengua, that’s what:
(Note: Red border only visible once thin, transparent lines of food or sauce applied to plate.)
Plates available from SFMOMA and Perch in Glen Park.
(Via the underrated, but not to be underestimated Eye on Blogs.)

Camouflage
March 5, 2010I am all for Gavin’s Pavement to Parks program, but this new one on Church St has gone entirely too far.
Kidding! Just a tree eating a truck. Or some sort of street food expirement gone horribly wrong.
Speaking of Pavement to Parks, Guerrero Beach got some new “sandpaint”. It’s quite nice, seems very durable, and much better than the taupe swath of mediocrity used on other paveparkments.
I spoke to the contractor — it’s some sort of epoxy that you then spread sand over. I think the other parks will be getting similar treatment.
And it turns out that Gavin even stopped by Guerrero Beach, er, Park. Points to Gavin for addressing our little nexus, but it’s called La Lengua.

3300 Moon, Bernal Rising
March 3, 2010From Sunday’s full moon:
I must be honest here — the above is poor man’s HDR (aka I really don’t know what the hell I’m doing when I’m taking photos at night as proven by about twenty shots with increasingly desperate exposure settings). I basically cut the corner of the picture of the short exposure on the left, and pasted it into the corner of the picture of the longer exposure on the right. Such is the short-lived reign of photorealism here at Burrito Justice. But it’s pretty much what my eyes saw.
This one was a 15 second exposure:
Sadly, I missed the opportunity for a dramatic moon-behind-tree shot by about 5 minutes.

February 15, 2010Nice 1931 map of the Market Street Railway streetcar system via Eric Fischer. Click for city-wide map.
(Note the brand new Seals Baseball Stadium. Oh I would love me some good E-W light rail like that 22, with dedicated right of way… And something along CC while we’re at it.)
And Telstar Logistics brings us this 1947 sales brochure for new streetcars. Note this was right before SF tore out its system and replaced most of it with buses.
TL also brings us this Sirron Norris painting of SF transit.
Hmm, I am not sure if there is some sort of Muni reliability message here. Are these floating or flying?
(Note that Sirron Norris is now based in increasingly awesome La Lengua.)
