We saw this house the other day while running in Noe Valley, so it seemed appropriate to go back today and snap a photo. The decorations are on a scaffold next to the house, and that's a working model train down near the bottom. If you want to check it out, it's on 21st, up the hill a bit from Church Street.... lire la suite

Christmas decorations, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and a radio alert.
Reader Kelly wants to let us know that July isn't too early for a candle store at her local mall to start its Christmas marketing push. Last night during a leisurely stroll through the mall, I happened to snap a shot of the Christmas Creep in a storefront window. And it's only July! The picture is pretty crappy — I took it with my Blackberry, but I thought I would share it anyway.

Reader Lee says, The Lowe's in Cary, NC already has Christmas decorations up. Right next to the Halloween decorations. Argh! It's not even the MLB post-season yet!
It's sailing through the uprights. It's good! Larger photo here The infamous Costco (stet) Busan sucessfully navigated 'neath two major bridges this morning on her way to the Orient. Next stop, Tsingtao, China! In the words of SFGate. com, Drive Safely, Cosco Busan.
This was the scene in the Marina Maze under the "Gold Coast" of Pacific Heights How have you decorated your General Malaise Hummer this year? Did you make sure to include loads of 'Merican iconography? Thought so. Happy Holidays!
This little San Francisco doggy's attire is obviously derivative of Daddy Mac and Mac Daddy during their Totally Krossed Out backwards-dressing phase. Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel! Photo Credit:
Remarkable winds today at Ocean Beach. Larger photo here Oh we warned you. We gave you all the signs. RSAN 'n stuff. And now it's here. OMG, a blustery day! Actual weather in San Francisco, complete with an omninous-looking Storm Warning flag flying above the Great Highway.
Yet another famous movie director came to San Francisco recently to promote a new release. Here, Juan Antonio Bayona gives the quattro uno uno on Spain's official entry at the next Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. If you're hankering to see a Sixth Sense-ish "horror-drama hybrid," look no further.
Sure, we could give you the same old fireworks/bridge shot (and we still might do that), but we thought we'd take the chance to salute the old girl just by herself. Let's all give a shout out to the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge, and particularly the Delta Tower of the western span. Thanks for not falling to pieces under pressure.
This plant over at the Conservatory of Flowers refuses to get wet. Our Word for the Day is "hydrophobe". Wouldn't it be nice to have water just bead up on you so you wouldn't get soaked? It must be sweet to be hydrophobic. Lucky plant.
Traditionally Christmas decorations stay up through New Year's Day, which means today is the official start of the "chucking your dried-up tree onto the sidewalk without regard for your neighbors or trash collection schedule" season. Allow DCist to help point you in the proper direction for Christmas tree disposal.
Halloween is about a month away, but it's too late to start thinking about that now. You've got Christmas crap to buy! Reader Aaron says: Today I was in Rite Aid in Bellport, NY with my wife getting her prescription filled. When we walked down an aisle, I was greeted by a nice, long display of Christmas decorations and items to purchase!
To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: Reviews, Reviews, Reviews Yep, too many games coming out, too little time to play them all. An amazing feat: This week I left my house three times during the week and ventured far from my house. It's a given that I must leave the house on the weekend — typically going on some sort of outing so my family doesn't go mental.
From those holymen at Islam Question and Answer: A tourist walks behind Christmas decorations outside a mall in Sharm El-Sheikh December 26, 2007. Ruling on celebrating non-Muslim holidays and congratulating them Question: Can a muslim celebrate a non muslim holiday like Thanksgiving?
SFist saw Christmas Day turn tragic after a Siberian tiger escaped from her pen at the San Francisco Zoo, killing a visitor and mauling two others. Phillyist counted down the top ten items on Philadelphia's New Year's wish list. Gothamist looked at the wooden bikes being offered for NYC's first bike share program on Governors Island.
We've seen awesome Tesla coil art many times before, and the latest addition to the catalog is no exception. With Christmas decorations, a vehicle anti-theft device and allied soldiers all getting the Tesla treatment, it was only a matter of time before the humble laptop entered into the realms of electrical greatness.
A new reality show — “My Big Redneck Christmas” — is now casting. I got an email from the company that produced the Hulk Hogan reality show (ever notice how reality shows lead to divorce — unless you are named Osbourne): Pink Sneakers is currently casting for “My Big Redneck Christmas.
Halls: Decked Each year I think “I’m never going to climb up the ladder again… it’s so high… it’s so cold… blah blah… bah humbug, etc. But then we get it all done and I’m always so darn tickled by how it looks. This year, we even have the addition of Snoopy Santa that we got on clearance after Christmas last year.
It’s nearly Christmas. Everyday my email is getting blasted with messages from Amazon, Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware reminding me exactly how long I have to order if I want gifts to arrive by Christmas. The neighborhood houses have grown luminous fur (whoever came up with the idea of icicle lights needs to be shot), and blow up Christmas decorations are doing bad things to my normally pretty historic district (I love this comic).
