I was by 1321 Mission yesterday and was impressed by the trees and plants on the curb - very attractive. I wonder when the city will do something about the drug dealers that hang out on the corner of 9th & Mission streets across the street from the new apartments? Maybe the new development will have an effect.

I walked around there today, not taking too many shots. The side of AVA looks the best of all to me--it's mostly a beautiful building (except for the "train wreck" of pianos, as you called it Jerry). I'm still totally turned off by the filth on Mission though, directly through from AVA, and actually from Eighth all the way to South Van Ness. It grossly disgusting with a continuous smell of urine and even human feces. There's no excuse for it!
Back to architecture...
I think 1321 Mission, the Panoramic, is disappointing, particularly when viewed from the west. We have a string of crappy boxes to go along with the above mentioned on the street. Add Trinity II to that list since it's much worse than Trinity I.
Simms, I agree with you regarding 1415 Mission. I should have captured the lower front of 1400 Mission though, which has much more quality than I expected. All in all, I would never want to live south of Market in this area until it has been much improved. The developments around Van Ness/Market/Mission will help.
