Witch Way to San Francisco?


San Francisco, California: October 22, 2008

When an unlucky witch donning snow boots and striped stockings smashes into a utility pole in San Francisco’s Parkside neighborhood, folks take immediate notice, even if Halloween is just around the corner. Motorists slowing for the four-way stop at the intersection of 26th Avenue and Vicente Street pause longer than usual to gawk, amused school children point and smile, and a stroller-pushing mother snickers. An elderly gentleman suggests it is really Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin traveling incognito.

Of this mysterious display, only one thing is for certain. Someone in a festive mood used equal parts humor, creativity, wing of bat, and eye of newt to brighten what might have been an otherwise ho-hum day in a quiet residential district.
