Color Coordinating in San Francisco


Think your truck is big and impressive? I bet it's not as big and impressive as this Chevrolet Apache I spotted parked in San Francisco's West Portal neighborhood today. And I bet your truck isn't color-coordinated with your house.

  1. When I lived in SF, someone parking their vehicle on the sidewalk would have earned a ticket every day. They must be slacking off.

  2. Oh Gordon, you been out of Flint too long if you actually believe there aren't hundreds of examples color-coordinated house/car combos in Flint. Need I remind you the city's official colors are teal and rust? Furthermore, there are more than a few blackened, burnt-out autos sitting in front blackened, burnt-out buildings.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
