Meanwhile out by the Cliff House, a "turf war" is raging between the (ahem) artisans who are fighting for sidewalk space from which to peddle their handmade jewelry, crafts and other assorted trinkets to visitors of the city's Western edge. New regulations were recently put in place by the Art Commission so street vendors could formally secure selling locations, but as RichmondSF points out, those regulations only apply to the city's other high-traffic areas at Fisherman's Wharf and downtown.

Way out West, however, the scant three spots between the Cliff House and Louis' are up for grabs on a daily basis and it has led to some salty language being thrown around between the seemingly harmless vendors of (blood?) stained sand dollars. According to the Examiner, Amanda Nordquist - jewelry purveyor, area vendor and victim of said harsh language - has even gone so far as to record her competitors insults and file a complaint with the Street Artists Committee, which had little effect other than asking the offending vendor to apologize.
