(5,902 posts)Politics and symbology aside, I wouldn't mind seeing this on more crosswalks (especially in rock-rib Republican neighborhoods).

(41,874 posts)Its hard biking around the city, your legs will look like bodybuilders.. but there is always public transportation. Too expensive for a Car, and no place to park. (Not even out on the street!..)
I take a cab when I really have to be somewhere!
I rarely ride this, leave it for the tourists.

(16,327 posts)It has been taken over by hipsters and tuppies, with only one gay bar left. I loved Polk when it was full of gay bars, drag bars, and trans bars -- now, not so much.
I think this is down where Polk runs towards the Civic Center -- making itself purty for Pride weekend.
