Alamo Square

It's a Taco-mergency

My life is a perpetual taco-mergency.  If it were not for Farolito and their 3am closing time, I'd probably have bleed out along Mission Street or outside of Pop's years ago.  But the problem with brick and mortar bean and cheese hospitals is you still need to make your way there, which is difficult if Jameson or a stray bullet has rendered your limbs useless.  But a taco truck pulling up to Bender's at 75 miles an hour with the red and white flashing and the siren song of tortillas and diarrhea echoing against Victorian architecture?  That, my friends, is a game changer.

An additional Twitter search indicates that this taco truck is parked outside of Alamo Sq. for the filming of "Five Year Engagement."  Is this $2-savior-on-wheels a cheap film prop or an new San Francisco establishment?  If you're in the know, do clue us in.

Reader Neb fills us in on Alamo Square's neighbor's secret tricks to avoid a street sweeping ticket without abandoning a valuable parking spots:

As DPW was doing street sweeping on my block, some woman was just idling her car on the sidewalk. DPT just drove right by without even giving a notice to this lady, ticketed the car parked on the street directly in front of her, and continued on. Then the sweeper passed, she backed her car onto the street, parked it and left. fuck

Still glad I don't own a car.

 Reader "mailorders" snapped this epic pic and shares this story:

This started out as a heated confrontation when the dog ran at the guy in the t-shirt, threateningly barking.  This dog has a history of being noisy and somewhat unruly; I don't think that he's dangerous, but if somebody doesn't know dogs, they're bound to think that the dog is about to attack. His guardian, the guy with the buzz cut got mouthy and even as the guy in the t-shirt was walking away, the dog continued to follow him, barking all the time. I guess it escalated from there.

There you go people.  Don't own a dog.  Thanks mailorders!
