Junk Apparel - eat your heart out!
So I've been working downtown in San Francisco near the Civic Center BART station (not the cleanest friendliest area of town). On my way to my 28 story office building I have to walk through three gritty blocks dressed in my nicest business wear toting a laptop in a fancy briefcase and all the bums love to give me a hard time.
Just the other day some guy asked me for money and then spit on me WHEN I GAVE HIM SOME... I don't make a habbit of handing out change but the guy looked sort of upbeat and asked in a friendly way so I gave him some loose change. Wow, then the other day coming home from work some guys across the street chucked a lime at me. It's just a weird place to be and I stand out like a sore, young, rich thumb.
Okay, the real purpose of this post... I went exploring over lunch the other day and toured the City Hall. It was really cool, I learned all about San Francisco and even some about California (did you know the state is named after a female Indian warrior named "Kalifa" who used to live here?) If you ever get the chance, take the tour! So on my way of exploring I found these cool buildings, one of which was some sort of school many years back. Now it's all boarded up but I think there's probably something going on inside. The outside is what really matters in this case however, it's all covered with Jack's logo! Check the pictures below > >
there's the Junk Apparel logo!
this awesome mural covers the entire West side of the building... it's pretty intense.
side view: street, meeters, lights, beautiful architecture in a crappy part of town... It reminds me of most of Rome

the junk apparel 'logo' is an international symbol, (have you ever seen the boy scout logo?) and unfourtunatly it is going through a phase in the apparel industry known as 'in', which means it may be 'out' soon. At least thats what I think seeing that a large percentage of the garments in 'the closet' in huntington beach are prominently displaying the fleur de lis as a main component of design.
