Send your Bay Area finds to found at sfist.com! We call on you to submit discarded photos, objects, letters, and other items that you plucked from the streets, used books, thrift stores, flea markets, et cetera! Tell us where/when you found the item and any other helpful info. The find must be from the Bay Area, and its previous ownership shrouded in mystery.

Special thanks to Captian Disco for sending us this link to an auction on eBay of a photo album containing photos from San Quentin circa 1932, including mug shots, suicide photos, and a track and field event. The auction ends tomorrow.

Today's two featured lists were each separately found on the sidewalk near Hayes Valley about three or four years ago. The grocery list was at Hayes and Buchanan, and we honestly couldn't tell you the exact location of the "Reason for Blockages" find.

Check out the stellar "Reasons for Blockages" after the jump!

This is the first post in a new, regular series that will feature discarded items plucked from Bay Area streets, flea markets, thrift stores, and other nooks and crannies.

In the spirit of Found Magazine, the U.K.'s Is This You?, and the FoundPhotos community in Livejournal, we call on you to submit your interesting Bay Area finds, including photos, objects, and letters to found.at.sfist.dot.com. In order to be considered, please tell us where you found the item and any other info you would like to include. (Remember, it has to be an item whose previous owner was unknown.)

This featured collection is by far one of our favorites that we picked up at Community Thrift a couple of years ago. We were told by people in FoundPhotos that the landscape in the photos appeared to be in Santa Barbara, a mission and a winery, respectively.

Two more photos of our happy, fashionable fellows after the jump!
