hardly strictly a book/movie/music/photo blog
En route to the Presidio, I came across this jewel of a home on Greenwich, near the Marina. Formerly the North End Police Station built in 1912 and designated a landmark in 1996, the structure now serves as a private residence. The facade reminds me of a stately Italian palazzo; giant lanterns astride the entrance bow to an Art Nouveau influence. I imagine jail cells make for interesting conversation.

For yet another year, Fleet Week filled the afternoon skies with flybys from the Blue Angels. Hard to ignore aerial acrobatics when car alarms and jetwash are echoing all about. I did most of my spectating indoors, although one afternoon I slipped away to Dolores Park and enjoyed the airshow from afar, an ice cream cone from Bi-Rite perfectly punctuating the blustery pageant. In the foreground sits the cupola for Mission Dolores High School.
