This is how it all starts — first, it’s a chair.  Then a swing.  Then a pond… And then we end up back with this:

Take A Left On E0 7H 5T

April 27, 2009

30th @ San Jose, both sides of the street.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s not really “5T” or “7H”, but damn would that be cool. (Bored DPT guy, are you listening?)

E0th St

(Crap, I know what happened — I fell asleep on the J and got off on 224th St.)

Concrete Evidence The M1ss1on Is #1

These are all up and down M1ss1on in La Lengua:

I would love to see a 3 subbing for an E. “C3SAR CHAV3Z.”

DPT definitely needs to buy more letters. Though they so totally could have used two Vs.


Concrete Marks The Mission

January 1, 2009

Contractor #1: “Crap, we’re out of N’s.”

Contractor #2: “Use half a W.”

Contractor #1: “I *already* used the W for the M.”

Contractor #2: “Crap. Do we have any Z’s we can rotate?”

Contractor #1: “No — they’re with the crew on Cesar Chavez.”

Contractor #2: “Crap crap CRAP. Hey, I know! We just finished Valencia — use that V, and then use another upside-down V!”

Contractor #1: “Dude, you are a genius.”

(10 minutes later…) Contractor 2: “Dude, are you dyslexic?”

Contractor #1: “Looks kind of cool, actually — italexic!”

Meanwhile, further down Mission…
