Hey, today is Last Saturday on 4th Street!

Although that may seem intended to confuse you—as though maintaining that today is September 17, which was the date last Saturday—it’s actually intended to remind you that today is Last Saturday on 4th Street!

Although that may seem intended to confuse you—as though suggesting that today may not be last Saturday everywhere, which of course it ought to be—it’s actually intended to remind you that today is Last Saturday on 4th Street!

steakorama Although that may seem intended to confuse you—as though postulating that today could be either be September 17 or September 24, and as though insinuating that whichever date turns out to be true, it might only be true on 4th Street—it’s actually intended to emphasize to you that today is Last Saturday on 4th Street!

Although … well … that’s probably not as effective as simply publishing the schedule of events, which occur along 4th Street’s so-called Retro Row—between Cherry and Junipero Aves—this evening between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. … because today is Last Saturday on 4th Street!
