Hey y’all! I’m trying something different here on Polk Sheet and giving a guest blogger a shot. Welcome Russian Hill local Natalia W. and her keen eye for the curb:

While walking down Sacramento the other day, my boyfriend’s sharp eye caught this doozy at the corner of Hyde. Somebody may have had too many cocktails before coming to work. Who edits these things? As my friend Matt suggests, please send all strongly-worded (and correctly-spelled) letters to City Hall at 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place.

Anyone seen any other street-spelling faux pas in the neighborhood?

Casablanca Café (1609 Polk at Sacramento) has newspapered its windows. You bohemians will have to find a new place to smoke your smelly hookah and drink your discount beer.

KaKaKa Kozy

As any diligent Polk Street enthusiast should do, this weekend I ventured to the new Kozy Kar Bar (1548 Polk at Sacramento) . . . twice. Wait! I rescind: thrice. In addition to two evening stints, the owner gave my friends and I a daytime tour before the place opened. The reason I’m just getting around to writing about Kozy Kar now is that it took me a several days to recover.

DSCN4159– A street sign made of Lite-Brites
– Waterbeds
– Shag carpet
– A pedophile-esque ’70s van as seating

– Boxed wine “red or white” — enough said
– Cheap canned beer (PBR, Schlitz, Hamm’s, Olympia), all $3
– CB radios for inter-booth conversation
– A flat screen playing Boogie Nights

In short, it’s a theme bar. But it’s a good for a laugh, and it’s photogenic in an über cheesy, my-boss-can’t-see-these-photos kind of way.

But wait let’s play a game! Guess how many augmented breasts are in the photo of the bar’s lacquered floor after the jump! NSFW. (more…)
