Beckler’s comments on the newest proposal for K street revitalization are spot on. I wholeheartedly endorse her use of the F word. Fargo is endorsing making K street “unique,” and here’s what Beckler has to say about that:
Well, if by “unique” you mean “copying another city’s idea” I guess you could say it’s unique to try to make our town look like the Holy Grail of revitalized downtowns.
You know what was unique? That mural on the inside of the entrance to the Tower Records on K Street. I haven’t been down there much lately–is the mural still there?
Yes, the mural is still there. However, the store is not (unless I have it mixed up, but I’m pretty sure I know what place you’re talking about). I was admiring it earlier this afternoon, actually.
I really dislike nationwide chain restaurants for the most part. Very, very few are any good. It would be a shame to see K Street turn into Fisherman’s Wharf in my opinion… yes, I have publicly announced my distaste for that area… It’s hard not to love everything about SF though.
