Sad News: Neighbor Andrés is moving from Bernal Heights. But before he departs, he created this lovely montage of the places and spaces that will represent Bernal Heights in his memories:
As I move out, I think about the images that remind me of Bernal Heights. I’m sad that I’m moving out, but this place will always be my home and it’s only an 80 minute drive away.
Aloha, Neighbor Andrés, and come back soon.

Sweet, although some of them, such as the Arik’s sign, aren’t actually in Bernal Heights.
While it is true that the Arik’s sign is not technically in Bernal, seeing that sign represented the last visual of the Mission before going up the hill to see my grandparents, and one step closer to being home when I lived there.
That’s totally fair, I agree. Not in bernal, but absolutely bernal-adjacent.
*sigh* Yes, that’s Bernal.
Clearly Burrito Justice’s mark has been made! I vote La Lengua, with Bernal Heights a very close second. 🙂
The Arik’s shot is great and brings me back to middle/high school when we called it “The Ben Davis Store”, even though we only bought Dickies there…
Happy trails, funkyfrijoles!
Thanks for showing the love! If I knew this was going to be posted, I would have wrote about the picture(s) in more detail. I’ll definitely be back! Still have family reppin’ Bernal to the fullest!
This has all been spelled out and agreed upon by relevant authorities many moons ago: The area of La Lengua south of Cesar Chavez is an autonomous region within the sovereign domain of Bernal Heights: https://bernalwood.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/memo-to-the-vassals-of-la-lengua-you-can-have-it-and-the-name-too/
As stated repeatedly, this “agreement” is rejected categorically and absolutely.
But good sir, you were the first to endorse this agreement, on November 30, 2010: https://bernalwood.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/memo-to-the-vassals-of-la-lengua-you-can-have-it-and-the-name-too/#comment-5
I CLAIM DRUNKENESS. Hell, that was almost 1PM, why would I be sober by that hour?!
And you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, even though it’s wrong.
UNDONE! HOISTED BY MY OWN PETARD!
😉
Now… TREMBLE AND OBEY!
You need to bring in Emperor Norton to adjudicate this dispute.
You guys just crack me up. 🙂
