Union Square Shopping

What's crackin' dudes!? Chester here again for Checking In With The Charlestons! As you can see, I've been one busy dude the past couple days. This morning, I decided to get a jump start on my summer wardrobe and hit up Union Square in San Francisco. You know I am the freshest, best dressed Charleston brother, so I only go to the best shops in SF.

First, I hit up Macy's. This is a must for anyone in the Union Square area looking to get the newest gear. This Macy's is no ordinary Macy's. This is like a SUPER Macy's. The have all the best brands here like Levi, Ralph Lauren, Sean Jean, and Armani, for when I need to get my grown and sexy on. The men's store is a whole different building than the woman's so if you go in there and only see dresses, don't trip, the men's store is across the street.

After Macy's I went down the block to Niketown. When it comes to athletic gear, you gotta go with Nike. They have the best quality products and they look better than anything else out there. The Niketown store is just as big as the Macy's store. Even if your not looking to buy anything, every sports fan should go inside and check it out because there is sports memorabilia all over the place. Heads up though, be prepared to drop some serious dough in here if your going to buy something. Most of the stuff in here is pretty exclusive so you are going to pay premium prices.

I mean, it was seriously craaaazy! So many things to look at and only a day to look at it all. The tickets aren't even that expensive either. I am pretty sure it cost about $25 buckaroos for an adult, like my sexy ass self! The ladies know what I am talking about! Wooooooo-weeeeeeee! I would have to say that my personal fave was the Aquarium! It was beautiful, and yes a REAL MAN can admit to something or even someone being beautiful! If you haven't been to the Academy of Sciences, you should really go hit up the place man, seriously dudes!! I even made a few friends...check'em out...

Chinatown Street Art

What is up my peeps?! Man, this weekend flew by! Yesterday was so nice, I had to get outside and do something. The sun was out and so were the mini skirts and sun dresses, you know what I'm sayin! When I got downtown I decided to check out one of the most forgotten spots of SF, Chinatown dude!

Chinatown was crackin as usual. Tons of people walking around, tons of cheap deals, and tons of Chinese food! But there was something even more crackin there yesterday. One of the dopest graffiti artists from Europe hit up a wall in Chinatown! The artist goes by Banksy. If you never heard of him you better check yo self because this dude is legendary. And for him to be in SF and hit up a wall is crazy!! This is the tag he did in Chinatown by Commercial & Grant.

I found out later that he tagged other places all over the city! I'm bummed I didn't get to see the other tags in person, but here are some pretty sweet pics of the work from SFist.

San Francisco Giants Game

Good morning my people!!! Chester Charleston checking in for Checking In With the Charlestons!! My dork brother Chuck might be the biggest Yankee fan ever, but all of us Charleston bros are crazy sports fans. Wednesday I went out to watch the best baseball team in the Bay, the SF GIANTS, play the Philadelphia Phillies!

My boy Timmy Lincecum was on the mound for the Giants and he was blowin fools away. He had 11 strikeouts and only gave up 2 runs!! The Giants were winning all game until this loser pitcher, Brian Wilson, came in during the 9th inning and performed one of the best choke jobs I've seen in years!!!

The game went into extra and the Phillies ended up pulling out the victory. I was hella mad that the Giants didn't get the win, but it's hard not to have fun at AT&T park. We will probably be hitting up a few games throughout the season, so all you Giants fan keep checking back for more baseball posts.
