Well, there goes the neighborhood.

If you weren't en route to
the playa, and were still slummin' in SF this weekend, you may have wondered
what the heck was going down on Divisadero.
Haighteration gave this write-up about the Absolut Vodka commissioned street art project.

So is Western Addition
the next Williamsburg?

What do you think?

Does it qualify as neighborhood beautification? Or yet another sign of gentrification? What about the art itself? Does it inspire or repulse you?

Another example of
how corporations have "bought" San Francisco? I have mixed feelings. And apparently, just like
Black Rock City, it's temporary. Store owners and residents will be able to decide if the art/eyesore is here to stay.
