Music Monday: Songs About Getting Older

 Music Monday: Just some songs about getting older as someone has a birthday this week:

And someone is turning this age this week:

Hope everyone has a great week and getting older is a privilege. 

The Alemany Flea Market

 

The Alemany Flea Market is one of the those interesting places. It is located next to the 1-280 overpass and it has some really cool stuff. It is unique because vendor rules strictly prohibit the sale of new items less that 20 years old outside of handcrafted items:

Frost Amphitheater-1986

And I picked up two items:

1957 Cal/Michigan St game program

There were 20 cards in this packet. Original Star Wars cards-1977

The Alemany Flea Market in San Francisco is a really cool place to spend some time and wander around

The Museum at the Mark

 I was walking around the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco and noticed that they had this little museum there. The Mark as it is called is truly luxury hotel and has been around for 97 yearsL

It was really seeing this museum and getting to know a little history behind The Mark. 

Murakami Monsterized

 Takashi Murakami is an international pop artist. He does traditional Japanese painting but with western influences. The Asian-Art Museum hosted his first solo exhibition in San Francisco:

I wasn't really familiar with his work before this but after seeing this exhibition I am now a big fan of his.

Music Monday: Hope Never Goes Away

 For this Music Monday, we are going to look at look at something that really moves us as humans and that is Hope, Visions and Dreams for a better day as that is what keeps us going:

And because we are honoring Dr. Martin Luther King this week who had a message of dreams and hope:

And remember what the great basketball coach Al McGuire once said "A poor man isn't a man without a cent, but a man without a dream."

Hope everyone has a great week.

Outside of Love on Haight

 

I went over to the Love on Haight and noticed that they have done a little new mural work outside the store:

I love the work that they did and perfect for a store on the Haight.

St George Historic Sculpture Garden

 

When I was in St. George, Utah,  I noticed this sculpture garden near the library and though it was cool:

Sometimes the coolest things about cities are the simplest things.
