Clarion Alley, San Francisco

by Neale McDavitt-Van Fleet

I’m back from my trip to California. The Bay Area was fantastic, but I’m too worn-out to write much of anything. Here are some photos.

Clarion is a small, one-block long alley in the Mission. Practically every surface in the alley is covered in some sort of art. Here are some photos I took:

This escalator was a nice piece, but I thought what was most amazing was the inscribed date – 1993. In 15 years it had hardly been touched. Either the taggers backed-off out of respect, or the artist has been good about passing by and touching it up.

This one is hard to read; It says: “I’m not hiding my love anymore.”
