Four Pink Doors, Mission District. San Francisco, California. February 20, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Four pink apartment doors with steps and white columns in the Mission District, San Francisco, California.
Walking in an area like the Mission District, I begin to see many things that would otherwise completely escape my notice. Although I’m sure I’ve seen them before, I recently became away of the prevalence of these building entrances with rows of four nearly identical doorways – this must have been some sort of common building design in San Francisco at some point. Here, as is also fairly common, the colors chosen for the paint were a bit unusual.

El Metate is great food. They are the only Mexican place I have been to where the tamales have the filling on the outside (try the Chile Verde tamales!).
I do believe that this may be the blog’s first restaurant review! ;-)
(I’ll need to check out those tamales!)
Enrique:
OK, I’m going to check that out! My son, who lived there until yesterday (moved to NYC today!) never told me about that place, though he is a real nut about the food places in the Mission. It will be good to know of one that he doesn’t know about!

on your next visit don’t forget to try the chile verde tacos at El Metate (Bryant @ 22nd) :-)
I love the Mission, it was my ‘hood’ for 3 years and is one of the most photogenic areas of the city… and don’t get me started on the murals!!!!!
Hi Enrique – I just “discovered” it recently when my oldest son moved there. He and I have been wandering about shooting the urban scene recently. It is a great place!
