Glen Park’s soon-to-be newest restaurant, La Cigale, is well on its way to completion. Until there was an unexpected glitch, as the San Francisco Standard reported on Thursday.
There was a tiny metal tag in the sidewalk and making sure it stayed put would cost $4,455 if the city did it. The restaurant found a private surveyor who did the work for $800.
But it made us wonder – where are all these things we’d never heard of? We went looking for the tags in Glen Park and found a ton of them on the City’s map, called Mon-U-Mental, which you can see here.
But it doesn’t seem to be entirely accurate. The Glen Park News‘ intrepid reporting staff went out looking for them in the wild (ok, only along Chenery Street) and didn’t find all the ones the map says should be there. It would be interesting to know how accurate the map actually is. Maybe a great project for a high schooler?
