Dave CarspottingA 1978 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud that has been converted into a pickup truck/ute. If Internet searching proves correct, the conversion was done by O’Gara Coach (back when they were still doing coachwork) in the 1980s. The vehicle is now owned by Cole Creek Winery in Healdsburg, <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/California?src=hash" title="#California" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#California</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/sfba?src=hash" title="#sfba" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sfba</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/cars?src=hash" title="#cars" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" title="#photography" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/carspotting?src=hash" title="#carspotting" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carspotting</a>

Kasey Smith :verified:<p>I took these ghostsign pics last year and never posted them. The Hotel Travelers in downtown Vallejo, as shot from the top floor of the Odd Fellows lodge across the street. I'm not sure the age of the Ghirardelli sign, but the Coke sign is probably from the 1960's. <a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/ghostsigns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ghostsigns</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.tmm.cx/tags/sfba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sfba</span></a></p>

Dave Rahardja<p>I’m always deeply suspicious of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SanFrancisco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SanFrancisco</span></a> news stories where companies claim that the city let “the meth addicts and homeless take over”, and that’s why they’re closing.</p><p>The Market claimed they went from $60k/day in income in 2019 to $2,300/day today, and it’s because of dwindling foot traffic, remote work (of course) and homeless people and drug addicts.</p><p>I simply don’t buy it. A 97% drop in your income can’t simply be blamed on druggies and remote workers. I bet the story is more complex than that, and it’s a shame that SFGate took them at their word.</p><p>This narrative is too often repeated and has become suspiciously convenient. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sfba</span></a></p>
