Pareidolia: STUFF THAT LOOKS LIKE OTHER STUFF - San Francisco Edition

Seek out your own religious moment at this cute little creperie. But bring your own to-go tupperware if you’re a light eater. The Ti Couz homies don’t believe in paper waste!

Virgin Mary Turtle
Poor little guy. He must have committed heresy in a past life.
Go here to search the shells of turtles on your own. You might strike it rich. But be sure to go for the Thursday nightlife events. It’s only $10, and there are no little runny nosed kids trying to block your view of the cool rock fish.
