Richard from Poquito says:

Don Julio will be coming by Poquito on Saturday for Cinco de Mayo. We will have a special tequila cocktail menu for Cinco de Mayo as well. … Hope to see you on Saturday for some tequila, Don Julio and perhaps some margaritas!

Tequila? Yes, please. He didn’t give a time, so I guess show up whenever.

Cinco de Mayo en Dogpatch

¡Hurra! Cinco de Mayo is not really a national Mexican holiday — it’s a US and Pueblan holiday — but it’s still a great excuse to drink green beer and proclaim your Irish heritage. Whoops! I’m getting my faux-holidays mixed up. It’s a great excuse to dance and have a good time!

Did you know that the Ramp has salsa pretty much every week? This Saturday is no different, but their promo image is a little spicer.

Bauer Tweets Quail Stew from Gilberth’s

I missed Michael Bauer’s mention of Gilberth’s rotisserie way back in April:

#5: Beans were one of the stars at the new Gilberth’s in Dogpatch, which offers Latin fusion specialties. The limas ($6) are baked with oregano pesto, with queso fresco on top.

#6: The rolled seasoned pork ($15) at Gilberth’s was a close second, served with plantains that are roasted crisp and then smashed.

BUT THEN last night Mr. Bauer mentioned our local eatery again:

Rumor has it that their reservations filled up as soon as his tweet went out. I suspect that a full review is forthcoming.

Brass Knucks Truck Punches Lunches

This morning my fiancée was snooping through my tablet computer and noticed that this blog had been mentioned in a tweet:
18th st n third today for lunch! Get your brass knuckle love!

Since I am gainfully employed in the northeast corner of 94107 and am unable to take the long bridge back to Dogpatch for lunch, she took the news van* and headed to 18th and 3rd to file a report via satellite**:

sweet potato tots!
& fried chicken [sandwich]
[redacted] had goat tacos & bacon dog
all good

typos corrected and names changed to protect the innocent –ed.

The Brass Knuckles food truck

This truly is the future. Technology has become indistinguishable from magic.

* she walked across the street from her workplace
** she sent me IMs and a photo from her phone

Dogpatch House is Expensive

If you don’t read local blogs (besides this one), it might be news to you that the 1940 census is available for your casual perusal. Simultaneously, contemporary information is available about a local address, 1067 Tennessee, which is not where I live*, but is pretty close. I could post about the Boassas, who lived in my apartment in 1940 and seemingly owned my building, but why would I want to write about a retired man working as a night watchman, when I could write about a mansion?

I'm not jealous of your deserved success.

Let’s calculate Compound Annual Growth Rate (from 1940) for your convenience:
01/01/40 $2,500
05/23/70 $22,500 900.00% over 30 years is 8% yearly interest.
04/08/08 $615,000 2733.33% over the next 38 years is 9% yearly interest.
03/29/12 $2,100,000 341.46% over the last 4 years is 36% yearly interest!

According to a government calculator:
$2,500 in 1940 could buy $6,929 in 1970.
$6,929 in 1970 could buy $386,375 in 2008.
$2,100,000 in 2010 could buy $136,589 in 1940. $136,589 would buy you 54 houses in 1940 (or 54 houses in 2012 Detroit. Ok, let’s be honest, you could buy 54 Detroits in their entirety, ha ha)

That part of my life where I imagine myself working until the day I die and never owning anything? That’s not a dream, that’s my life, and welcome to it.

$2.1 Million. Ok, 2,495 sq ft? That’s a palace! MILLION.

* if you don’t know exactly where I live, you aren’t trying hard enough.
