Muni Art for Supervisor Eric Mar

We had an inkling that Muni art can be really cool, and it turns out that Supervisor Eric Mar thought so too. The Richmond district supervisor recently commissioned artist Leslie Henslee, owner of Frankenartmart, to make a sculpture of the 38 Geary. She used materials from the ‘hood like Ocean Beach sand, Golden Gate Park parts, and Richmond haunts to make the sculpture:

Pretty awesome that she’s sourced these local materials! See more pictures of the Heslee’s 38-Geary or go to Frankenart’s website to find out more about her projects.

Thanks to rider Joey for the tip!

From BART rider Amy:

I’m pretty sure I witnessed a drug deal on BART the other morning. This guy was measuring out some white powder sitting in his seat on BART and held up a baggie for this other guy that appeared to have pot in it. I considered it all very weird as BART cars have cameras in them.

No photo, unfortunately. It was around 9:40 or so. Late for work, per usual. The guy who appeared to be the buyer was wearing a puffy yellow sports jacket. I remember because I saw him walking into the 16th Street BART and thought, “what a ridiculous yellow puffy jacket.” He was sitting in one seat turned around backward talking to the other guy with the drugs who was in the seat behind him.
