A boozed up citizen of San Francisco chows down on some free pizza that be begged off a tourist.
DSC_0162 		Just another crack addled Tenderloin resident.
DSC_0188 		This woman was talking to the street and it must have been interesting because she was at it for some time.
DSC_0216 		This guy was laying in his own filth. And by filh I mean feces. And by feces I mean you could smell him a block away. There are more pics of him farther along in our tour. And by tour, I mean nightmare.
DSC_0257 		This guy had just woken up from an afternoon slumber and was huffing it through the Loin in search of food. And by food I mean crack. And booze.
DSC_0270 		OK, the jackasses at wikipedia and bleeding heart liberals in San Francisco want you to think that the Tenderloin is just home to those who refuse to work and live off welfare. They like to think that drug dealing doesn't exist. This photo, although half smeared with the glare of sunlight clearly shows two Tenderloin entrepreneurs counting their cash in broad daylight. Now, these guys are either successful drug dealers or welfare is paying really well these days. Might be a combination of the two.

A young girl sipping on some Mountain Dew. And by young girl I mean prostitute and by Mountain Dew I mean malt liquor. I know you liberal suckers are going to start screaming about this but I was at this corner for over an hour and I saw her walk off with a john and return with cash to buy her malt.
DSC_0316 		Just another homeless resident of San Francisco and his ship. Gavin buddy, you're doing a bang up job cleaning up the city.
DSC_0350 		This guy was a piece of work. He is walking around downtown SF in his hardhat and rolling trash bin. What I didn't catch and deeply regret was this guy unwrapping a plastic wrapped snack and then tossing the trash on the ground NEXT to his trash can. What else can you do that shows your deep respect for the earth, your fellow citizens and yourself.
DSC_0400 		These guys were in the street for hours, going back and forth, stopping, starting, yelling. I got tired watching them.
DSC_0412 		A bunch of brothers selling drugs on a Tenderloin corner. I felt bad for the poor, strung out girl who was most likely whoring herself out for drugs. At least it looked like it because she kept leaving with different guiys all the time and then returning to this corner. That's her sitting on the yellow wall.
DSC_0438 		A closeup of the poor, strung out white girl.
DSC_0440
Here's a little something that SF residents have to deal with on a daily basis. When I lived in the City, I regularily found passed out, stinky homeless people on my doorstep laying in puddles of urine and using MD 20/20 bottles for pillows.
DSC_0449 		Public urination is also a big problem in the Tenderloin. This guy just stuck his dick into a crack between two buildings and drained his bladder. Nothing says third world like the smell of urine baking on a hot sidewalk.
DSC_0461 		Another shot of that good old public urination that keeps SF smelling sweet.
DSC_0475 		San Francisco residents sprawled out on the sidewalks
DSC_0478 		A closeup of the kind of resident San Francisco and it's liberal politicians and citizens lure to the City with free GA money and free housing. They are a beacon of hope to the world.
DSC_0479 		Another ambitious resident of San Francisco.
DSC_0493
Yep, what do you say about these two?
DSC_0535 		This poor guy has the wonderful job of picking up after the vagrants in the Tenderloin who are just too lazy to do it themselves.
DSC_0547 		I have no idea what was going on here but it didn't look on the level if you know what I mean.
DSC_0575 		Another shot of a man making a living cleaning up after Tenderloin residents.
DSC_0596 		Just two stock brokers discussing the days gains over a beer.
DSC_0633 		Smopking crack in broad daylight. I used to have to try to find this happening but you can't walk fifty feet in the Tenderloin without encountering someone either smoking crack, selling crack, pissing in the street, shitting themselves or fighting with one another. San Francisco, a great American city getting better by the day.
DSC_0636
Another shot of crack smoking in the Loin, as if you had any doubt about the previous shot.
DSC_0637 		New shoes and drunk as hell!
DSC_0658 		Just more sleeping on the sidewalk - it never gets old, especially when someone is working hard to make a living just a few feet above.
DSC_0728 		There's cash in them that cans! At least he's cleaning up after the vagrants who prefer to toss their trash on thte street.
DSC_0734
DSC_4988 		This guy was sleeping with the birds. Say it with a Tony Soprano voice and smile to yourself.
DSC_4993
This guy posed for me on Van Ness. I think he looks like the prophet Muhammed. At least he smelled like it.
DSC_5003 		Another close up shot of the prophet Muhammed. He was a good sport.
DSC_5006 		I just like the look of this guys face. WTF?
DSC_5026 		More curbside boozing. It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle!
DSC_5054 		Here's another shot of old shitpants. He was snoring lounder than my old friend Gary and smelled worse than the shit river in Tijuana.
DSC_5062 		Another shot of old shitpants from down the block. And yes, I could smell him from this spot.
DSC_5065
Another view of shitpants. His finger was wedged in his ass like the Dutch boys finger in the dike and there was shit everywhere - on his pants, underwear, belt, shirt, sidewalk and shoes! And no, I doubt that he attempted to clean any of it up when he woke.
DSC_5066 		Another shot of shitpants with pedestrians trying to avoid the fecal matter smeared on the sidewalk.
DSC_5068 		That's right! $2500 dollars of wheels on a $500 car! Someone from Oakland must have driven over to the loin.
DSC_5091 		Here's our whore back on her corner looking for some business.
DSC_5104 		Here's our whore chugging like a big girl.
DSC_5116 		OK, it was about 90F this day and these people are dressed for the Arctic!
DSC_5120
Oh yeah, nice pants. Real nice...
DSC_5122 		More public drinking and dealing going down.
DSC_5128 		Again...90F! WTF?
DSC_5137 		This guy is a snappy dresser. And by snappy dresser I mean he looks like a fool.
DSC_5167 		Here's another view of our litterbug chowing down on his plastic wrapped snack. What a dick.
DSC_5170 		One more shot of our litterbug
DSC_5173
Apparently he heard the street talking to him and went in for a closer stance. No, just kidding, we were tossing fifty cent pieces into the street. And by fifty cent pieces I mean pennies.
DSC_5185 		These guys were rapping.
DSC_5192 		Git down!
DSC_5193 		Fuckin-A! Let's git us some 40's!
DSC_5194 		Some of San Francisco's most productive citizens rest after a hard day's work.
DSC_5201 		More street napping.
DSC_5204
His buddy is tired too. Of course by tired I mean passed out. Both of them.
DSC_5205 		Just another pedestrian dodging sleeping city residents.
DSC_5211 		Well, it was Memorial Day! Nothing like a backyard BBQ to celebrate with friends.
DSC_5213 		Just chugging some malt liquor. King Cobra. Good stuff.
DSC_5215 		Another SF resident with their pets.
DSC_5221 		Just another shot of that pisser from earlier in our tour.
DSC_5226
Another man drinking on the street. If I did that I would get a ticket for public consumption. These guys drink all day and all night and the cops just waltz past. I guess they do have other more important things to deal with but please, you have to start somewhere.
DSC_5232 		Just more refuse in the street.
DSC_5239 		Refuse closeup...
DSC_5242 		OK, this guy was walking down the street in a pair of tubesocks pissing as he walked! He didn't have a care in the world, just walking and pissing. I'm not surprised to see this in the Tenderloin, though it always amazes me that these people have so little consideration for everyone around them. Enjoy the sequence...
