Uber (which I have used, and is way more convenient than calling a cab company, getting put on hold, getting hung up on, calling back, getting put on hold, getting through to a dispatcher, having them grump about sending over a cab, then waiting 45 minutes before giving up and just driving one’s own car not even that far, jeez, ugh, I give up*) already has an “office” in the greater Potrero District, but it seems that isn’t enough for them — now they will be laying claim to part of a block in the Mad Max-style Wasteland up-and-coming Mission Bay neighborhood. Good for them!

Our crack team** of rendition artists rendered an artist’s rendering of their beautiful new tower:

Finally, Dogpatch will have an answer to Sutro.

I think it will look pretty sharp next to the new arena:

“Then at last his gaze was held: wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black tower of adamant, he saw it: Barad-Ûber, Fortress of Travis. All hope left him.”

Okay, just kidding***, it will be a boring eleven story tower, not a perch from which evil can survey the land.

I bet you can’t even spot it in this image:

Anyway, Google Earth is fun and mostly useful to play with.

* it is shocking the lengths that cab companies will go to avoid being better. Shouldn’t there be a “disruptive” company coming in with a centralized multi-company taxi dispatch and a general reduction in pure evil?

** Me. I am the team.

*** Am I kidding?
