The great POPO tour, day 2
The second site on our tour of publicly-owned, privately-operated spaces in San Francisco was another disappointment. The whole open area attached to 303 2d St. is fenced off for construction. We had to peer over the fence and try to figure out what the features might look like when finished. It looked like there would be some smallish circles of vegetation and probably a fountain or two.
(This is the list of sites we plan to visit. We’re taking them in reverse order; this was site No. 55.)
To assuage our despair, we went over to the nearby South Park area and did some yuppie-watching from a table outside a sandwich shop. We felt much better after having a bite to eat. Then: excitement! While we walked back to John’s subway stop we were stopped — right at the site of last week’s disappointment, No. 56, as it happened — by police clearing the way for some dignitary or other.
