I was on Valencia Street feeling nope about paying $20/30 for a single dish (lots of restaurants on that street) then just popped over to my preferred side of that neighborhood for the delicious tacos and tamales. Which are the only things I eat these days anyway. $15 for 2 tacos and a huge tamale con mole e pollo (still a lot, but good for SF)

This building in a suburban #SanJose office park was occupied by Nio, the Chinese carmaker, who did not renew their lease in October 2023. Without a new tenant, the building went into foreclosure with $25M of outstanding debt.

#Thrift find of the day. A still-working Michael Graves teapot. I love Graves’s whimsical postmodern style and have been in several of his buildings. The little whirligig spins when it boils.
WTF is up with people talking on their phones on speaker at my coffee shop today?!? Don’t do it, go outside, or use the phone like a phone. Drives me nuts, if you can’t tell, lol.
