"We are the champions - my friends.  And we'll keep on fighting, Till the end ...", Freddie Mercury's singing adds to my high spirits.  Coming out of my Saturday morning gym workout, there's definitely a spring in my step.  I head up Green from Polk Street.  The ascent up Nob Hill, a usually arduous … [Read more...]

In-Pictures-San-Francisco-In-Silhouette

Like the glowing embers of a dying fire, the sky burned in lurid colors of carmine and persimmon while the setting sun descended below Twin Peaks.  Protruding appendages of Oakland's gantry cranes and San Francisco's waterfront skyline darkened in anticipation for the arriving night.

December 12, 2015 By Rob Nicolo Leave a Comment

I let my nose guide me to the 1545 Pine Street property.  A pungent odor of old musty wood, aided by the thick misty morning breeze, drifted down the sidewalk as I made my way to the site.  Peering through breaks in the wrapped perimeter fencing, I noticed excavators wrecking the wooden frames of … [Read more...]

Making Sense of The Proposition Madness – November 2015 Edition

October 23, 2015 By Rob Nicolo 1 Comment

Through the train's windows, an ethereal scene of the Embarcadero waterfront and sparkling bay waters allowed a momentary reprieve from my current situation.  35 minutes prior I had left FiDi and boarded Muni's T line to meet a friend in SoMa for a "quick" lunch hour meal.  Shortly after an expected … [Read more...]
