Local artist Alex Zecca (a friend, and I love his work) very nearly turned Bush Street into Obama Street last night. He and a co-conspirator managed to get all the way from Presidio to Grant before the SFPD "descended with lights and sirens." He managed to stay out of jail, but had to pull all the stickers down.

Still: Shows it can be done. And such beautiful work.

1. FOr quite a while

after the 2000 election Bush Street was renamed Puppet Street. Those stayed up for quite a while.

There is a measure on the SF ballot to rename the sewage treatment plant George W. Bush Sewage Treatment Plant.

We have a good time out here. :-)
