Solche "Nachrichten" an Verteilerkästen habe ich an verschiedenen Stellen in unserer Umgebung schon gesehen, aber sie sind sehr rätselhaft. Es sieht aus, als wären es medizinische Notizen und dazwischen Adressen und Datumsangaben. Ich erkenne den Sinn dahinter nicht, aber bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass es irgendein Code ist.

Central Haight Market
San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood is renowned for its eclectic mix of counterculture history, vibrant street art, and unique local businesses. A prime example of this cultural tapestry is the Central Haight Market street art. The mural, which brightens the facade of an otherwise understated building, captures the essence of Haight-Ashbury’s free-spirited and diverse community. The artwork features bold, colorful depictions that blend local landmarks with imaginative characters, making it a must-see for visitors and locals alike. The mural is split into sections, each offering a unique narrative that speaks to the heart of San Francisco’s alternative culture. One section showcases the iconic Golden Gate Bridge alongside the phrase “Love is Our Tribe,” a nod to the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere of the Haight. Another section features two quirky, otherworldly characters, perhaps a playful reminder of the neighborhood’s storied past as a haven for non-conformists and dreamers. The final segment depicts a towering evergreen tree, symbolizing both growth and the enduring connection to nature that many San Franciscans cherish. This street art isn’t just about visual appeal—it also serves as a historical marker, reflecting the neighborhood’s ongoing evolution while staying true to its roots. The building itself, a classic San Francisco Victorian, adds an additional layer of charm and significance to the artwork. The juxtaposition of this historic architecture with contemporary street art encapsulates the unique blend of old and new that defines Haight-Ashbury. Whether you're a fan of urban art or simply exploring the neighborhood, the Central Haight Market mural is a striking piece of public art that embodies the spirit of San Francisco’s most bohemian district.
