Lawsuits From 11/95 Bankruptcy"
Lawsuits From 11/95 Bankruptcy"
San Francisco / History / Time / Place: "Barbary Coast was the haunt of the low and vile of every kind. The petty thief, the house burglar, the tramp, the whoremonger, lewd women, cut-throats and murderers, all are found there. Dance-houses and concert saloons, where bleary-eyed men and faded women drink vile liquor, smoke offensive tobacco, engage in vulgar conduct, sing obscene songs, and say and do everything to heap upon themselves more degradation, unrest and misery."

It was renamed the USS Potomac and served as Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidential yacht until his death in 1945."

SchlessNet_4, a Flash site, is the home of Ben Schlessinger, whose paintings are on view this month at Canessa. It's phenomenal to see oil paintings on panel with the heightened perspective and sensibility of surrealism.

Yesterday the Black Cat painted the skylights white. It is cooler inside now, and there is still a view of the TransAmerica Pyramid through a clear pane. A mirror by Roger Berry still hangs. What is the color temperature? Don't know. The picture is in San Francisco, CA, Wednesday, June 2, 2004, 1:30pm.
