NEIGHBORHOOD MURALS 2016 – TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY (#6 in a series)



At first, the message on this mural in Olive Alley seems out of place in its  Tenderloin surroundings until you realize it's actually one of two murals


painted on the walls of City Hope Community Center at 45 Olive. It was created by local wall artists 1 AM.

HOMELESS SIDEWALK SALES

This is the PG&E substation at Larkin and Eddy.



Sometimes in the afternoon, when the Larkin Street sidewalk isn’t being hosed down, a number of homeless people will set up shop to sell merchandise.

People who get their information about homeless people from movies and TV think this is where all sorts of stolen goods are sold.

I went by there a few weeks ago when the sidewalks weren't being hosed down to take photos of some of the items people were selling:








If you're looking for a hot item to sell on eBay for big bucks, 





 homeless street sales are not the place to do it.

POLICE ON POLK


In the last few months I've noticed more police cars in and around Polk Street.







I imagine it's a response to the ongoing problem/reality of car window break-ins in the neighborhood






which has caused people to tape signs on their windows announcing there are no valuables inside.










(which I always thought would be sure to inspire someone to break in).

Or maybe it's to report about the homeless people in the neighborhood







who keep being homeless.
