During lunch, the Niantic Project Google+ account posted about their operative finding NIA dead drops at Chrome bags stores. We happen to have a local Chrome store in San Francisco.
My only issue with going in to the city was that I hadn't worn a jacket to lunch.
There was a Burlington Coat Factory on the way back to the car. After what felt like days but was really just minutes of looking, I found the perfect blue trimmed all weather New Balance running jacket in my size at a reduced price of $16.98. I bought it.
Our friend and I hopped on BART. He headed home. I headed to Powell Street station where I took a nice walk across town past Hotel Utah to Chrome SF.
The people inside were very helpful. They didn't have the faction patches advertised on the Niantic Project post but they did have the dead drops. I ended up with a leftover DroneNet code from SXSW. I also captured their portal for good measure.
After visiting Chrome, I hacked and captured Ingress portals for a while and eventually met my wife at San Francisco Centre for a quick dinner before heading up the giant hill that Mason Street becomes for a concert at the Fairmont's Venetian Room. I captured the Fairmont portal for good measure while there.
