Designer Jayde A. Cardinalli just did up this piece, mapping out the "crazy characters that hang out in our sunny Dolores Park." Cold Beer Cold Water, Ganja Treats, the can collectors, and Masturbating Man Under a Blanket are all conspicuously missing from this polished rendition, but she didn't forget a few of our favorites, such as:

Crazy ladies needing to tinkle!
And...

A dude in an ice cream suit? (!!!)
There's a few more close-up shots, should you want to dig deeper.

That has to be the dumbest,lest thought out thing we have ever seen. Who drew this? Looks like what you would get if someone in Ohio drew this from oral stories told to them. What a joke!
this is what the world looks like after a steady diet of ritalin, wes anderson and best coast
Sort of like people who wax their mustaches.
Don't look then, dickhead. And it's "least" thought out. Kind of like your comment. A mission resident drew this. Can you do better? Shut up.
ummmmm......if you don't like his comment, then don't read it
yes,i could prob do better. for one,about the only thing that is right about this thing is the shape of the park and that there are bathrooms in it....Fo real... If a mission resident drew this they should be ashamed. Did no justice to the many great charteters that we have in the park/hood. But most of the people this is marketed to go to Laconda,not the park. so we understand...
oh wait,my bad, just saw the Ganja truffle guy. Thnks for keeping it "real"
And where is the fucking basketball court? The park was so much better before all you people and your birds started hanging out there.
Yeah I hear 1997-2011 was the shit... I have only had the pleasure of enjoying the park for the last 7 years or so,and my bird for her whole life of 3 half years. Not sure what it is that we do that makes the park suck in your worldview. But there are plenty of glass half full folks around to cancel out the glass half empty folk. Btw,before you try to pin cigg butts or trash on me. I do not/have never smoked.and have taken to picking up others trash out of the park.So dont try to blame me for trash or cigg butts. cheers
whoops, 1997-2001. sorry for the mistype
No, I think its okay design. And a good blog post.
Opinions, everybody has one.
Is it just me, or does the sun have the Mac OS logo for its face?
Is there a Hunky Jesus in there somewhere???
Cold Beer Cold Water and Ganja Treats are in there, just gotta find them! Forgot can collectors and masturbating people - but those would have been great to include (only so many hours in the day, you know).
PD Bird - I've lived on the border of Hayes Valley & The Mission for 7 years. I've actually had conversations with you before. You are the pirate at front center with the green bird, looking angry. The resemblance and disposition are uncanny! At least I got that part right ;)
Uppityfag - Yes! top, left of center. 3 of them.
Kevin - Thanks for the post! The guy in the ice cream suit is meant to represent people who are obsessed with Bi-Rite ice cream. He's not a real guy, just lives in my imagination.
Uhhm, first off,i'm a lot fatter then that. And second,i'm hyphy,not angry. lol...And that is def not P.D.Bird,She is a careparrot, She has a pretty hard to miss heart shaped tummy. Anyway, I figured that was what the ice cream stood for,just with so many "real" people,dogs and charaters that make the park so great, we figured you would not have to resort to ur imagination. Anyway, it's all in good fun. hope this pushes other to create their"version" of the park as well, Cheers
There's not one person ducking around with their smartphone in this picture. How refreshing!
