My ‘hood

I’m lovin living in Duboce Triangle. The people that live on my street in particular spend a LOT of time and money making the common areas really beautiful. There are pots with trees, flowers, bushes, and succulents all up and down the street – not the stock kind the city puts in – the kind that have been put in by individuals with a lot of attention to detail. Corner of Noe and Henry has little sitting areas on 3 of the 4 corners with little benches, trees, and other pretties..

So it really bummed me out this morning to see that some fool driver had hit one of the pots parking their car and then left and another palm tree had been broken off at the trunk by what I would presume to be a drunken fool coming back from the bars. I can only imagine what will happen halloween night when when the hoards descend.. Although looking out my window at the damaged pot – it looks like the neighbors have already replaced it with a brand new one (and moved it back from the curb)

Love the neighborhood but he visitors that it tends to attract aren’t always the most dignified.

Note to self – figure out who is writing the checks for these plants and pots and volunteer to help out…

I saw that too – and was very bummed. I live in Duboce Triangle as well – and love Noe Street for the trees, flowers and vegetation. With the characters that populate Noe and environs late at night, or early in the morning, I am surprised that this sort of thing was not more common place.
