We were walking along Duboce Avenue this afternoon and came upon this charmingly indiscernible and weathered hand-written sign. At the time we assumed it said something along the lines of "curb your dog." (Cue image of a dog strategically lifting its leg over the plants.) After several minutes of examination, we finally cracked the code. (Next stop, CIA, for us!)

Outer Sunset Business Wards Off Concert-Going Hippies
Although this SFist contributor couldn't make it to the little bluegrass concert in the park last weekend, we kept hearing mention of lots of hippies saturating the event. To echo that sentiment, friend of SFist and Outer Sunset resident Kevin McCracken snapped the above photo...
Lingerie for Your Burning Man [Updated]
When SFist caught a glimpse of this sign in front of Luscious Wear on Polk yesterday, we first noticed no connection to Burning Man the event but were instead forced to imagine burning man loins, something we'd rather not imagine on Polk Street.
Ellis Brooks Chevrolet Sign Dismantled
Work on dismantling the semi-iconic Ellis Brooks Chevrolet sign at 1395 Van Ness began over the weekend. Erected in 1955, the sign, according to the people SFist spoke to at Ellis-Brooks, "will have to be destroyed."
Borderlands Owner Expresses Bitterness Over "Nanny State" Smoking Laws
The owner of Borderlands Cafe and Borderland Books in the Mission is apparently not pleased about San Francisco's smoking laws. Here's what he has to say in the above sign:
Burglarized Car Has Message for Would-be Robbers
This poor Volvo wants you to rob the rich: "This car has already been broken in to. Go ROB THE RICH and stay out of this one. Thanks." Duly noted!
Lances, Shields, Helmets, Not Sold at Green Apple Books
Yesterday's gem of a note from Marcello's Pizza reminded us of this sign we spotted a couple of months ago at Green Apple Books, which reads:
What's Going On Here, Muni 18-46th Avenue Fan?
It's going to happen, whether you like it or not.
Closeup of Anti-Whoring Sign at Powell and Market
Frank Chu and the "Jesus Loves You" guy seem to get all of the crazy-loon-with-crazier-sign attention. It's just not fair So, here's a shot of the sign that the guy at Powell and Market, near the cable car turnaround, has by his side screams "damned whore, repent!" at passersby.
NOPA Says 'No' To Flashy Traffic Signs
Trouble is stirring in San Francisco's adorable NOPA district. It seems some residents are none too thrilled with the "large electronic traffic information signs" planned for Oak and Fell Streets. The city wants to install these big electronic signs near Divisadero, directing drivers to parking garages ans such, and the neighborhood's residents don't like it because, obviously, they're ugly.
Signs of San Francisco
Here's another set of local signage that photogs captured in all of their clever, weathered, colorful, informative and matter-of-fact glory. Enjoy.
What's Going On Here, AT&T Customer?
Greg Dewar of N Judah Chronicles posted this image of an angry sign presumably posted up by an even angrier customer. The shit was snapped up yesterday afternoon at Broadway and Van Ness.
Two Interesting Signs
We were out running today, and came across two signs. No photos (we don't carry a camera in such situations), but they both are begging for some explanations.
SF Zoo Reopens Tomorrow Boasting Memorial, New Features
The morbidly curious, a smattering of animal enthusiasts, and, of course, the media will line up to get into the SF Zoo when it reopens to the public at 10 a.m. tomorrow. In addition to a Tatiana-free environment, zoo visitors will also notice a few other changes. For instances, new signs reminding visitors that they are "guests in the [animals]" and not to "tap on glass, throw anything into the exhibit, make excessive noise, tease or call out to them." (We can't imagine to whom they're referring.) Also, reinforced-glass will make its debut in the tiger grotto, as well as loudspeakers telling visitors to scram come closing time.
Hey Kids, Let's Put Up a Web Site
SFist Editor Emeritus Cheshire tipped us off to a site he helped put together that helps you make your own jukebox label. It's pretty cool, actually, in the same way those Church Generator Signs things are cool. So, inspired, we made up our dream jukebox selection, which you can see to your right. Man, we loved Creed back in the day.
All Saints Day
Now, SFist doesn't usually go to modern dance performances (we're never sure when to clap, for one thing), but last year, our yoga class went to the ODC theater to see our yoga teacher dancing in the corps for Chris Black and the POTRZEBIE Dance Project's The Ecstasy of Saint Whatshername.
