So, no shenanigans … but the sanction against such behaviour might not be altogether unpleasant for some people. Spotted in the Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood in San Francisco earlier this month.

A cute sculpture in one of the outdoor spaces at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. Possibly the biggest penny I’ve seen in a long time!

A very explicit warning at the entrance to a parking garage in downtown San Francisco.

This is the work of a very talented kite-flyer, who was hanging out at San Francisco’s Crissy Field a few weekends ago.

So I’d heard for years the U.S. government has been trying to get people to use dollar coins instead of dollar bills.
Haven’t ever seen one in real life, either.
Of course, given the continuing availability of the paper version, I reckon there’s no real incentive for anyone to switch and actually use coins instead.
Imagine my surprise when a store clerk somewhere in Portland last week apologized and asked me if it’d be OK for my change to include a dollar coin.
I happily accepted.

Flipping through some old photos today, I noticed I’ve accumulated images of quite a number of theatre marquees. Here are some of my favourites.
Theatres at New York’s Times Square.
Plaza Theatre in Calgary.
Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon.
London’s Lyric Theatre.
The defunct Uptown Theatre in Calgary.
Les Folies Pigalle in Paris.
San Francisco’s New Mission theatre marquee.
The Corona in Montreal.

Many of the walls along the streets and alleys of San Francisco’s Mission district are adorned with awesome pieces of art. If you do nothing else in the neighbourhood, take a couple of hours to meander and explore for these nuggets sprinkled all through. There are even walking tours specifically made for seeing these pieces of street art. It’s truly a feast for the eyes.
See more from my trip to the San Francisco Bay area, back in March 2010.
Need to get back there soon!

I doubt anyone can visit New York without taking a shot that looks a little like this one. And while every picture is similar, none will ever be quite the same. So here’s my contribution to the virtual gallery of images dedicated to the Brooklyn Bridge. And below are a few more.
