San Juan Bautista One-Room Jail…Cozy!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

These old one-room jail cells are common in the American West. It seems that every mission town and stagecoach stop had one. Some had fold-down plank beds, others had bunks. This one features a metal cot with attached shackles. No night-time escapees! Most had a jug for washing and a hole for a toilet. Sometimes, a chair. Luxury lifestyle living! The San Juan jail was built in 1870.

Our Lady of Maytag

High upon a hill in San Francisco sits the famous concrete Catholic church Our Lady of Maytag. It is designed in homage to that sacred, time-honored symbol of our faith…the washing machine agitator.

It is not like there is no precedent. President Reagan? Governor Schwarzenegger? Why not the Easter Bunny for Vice President? This country could use a little pop culture irony in the war room. No?

The end of the San Francisco Eagle…or is it? Pics and rumors.

The San Francisco Eagle Tavern closed its doors this last weekend. Rumors that it would stay open another month proved unfounded. Is this the end of The Eagle? Self-styled San Francisco “Master of Real Estate” Seth Munter thinks it isn’t. He writes on Facebook: “The Eagle will rise again. John and Joe have no choice but to make sure the Eagle re-opens. They can and they will. Why? Because they cannot AFFORD to do anything else but see that the Eagle reopens. Otherwise, they will lose The Hole In The Wall…” Interesting political logic.
