I did NOT leave my heart in San Francisco

... but I'm sure some other people have! Like the creators of these hearts.
Here is a project called Hearts in San Francisco.

The goal? a 'unique hybrid of fund-raising, compassionate community involvement, and a positive nurturing of artistic expression.'

Anybody remember Cows on Parade? Ahem...
In Chicago?

On the back:
"What is love? For me, love is patience, unselfish deeds rendered to others, and an appreciation for just being who I am."

There are four hearts in Union Square. One for each corner.

There are over 130 hearts circulating. The project started in 2004. A bunch have been auctioned off, which I'm sure is how this heart ended up in someone's residence.

These are the hearts I've been able to spot without trying.

Reading Is Fundamental

I had never really thought about this aspect of prison. How would you ever be able to read anything if bookstores or libraries weren't accessible? I had never thought that reading would be a form of entertainment to prisoners. Yes, the movies do sometimes show them reading, but it had never occurred to me that a book would be such a rare find in prison. I have wondered what they must do with all their time. It's a shame so much of it has to go without a book.

I think this is awesome. It's called the Prisoner's Literature Project: SF Bay Area's Books Through Bars Program. They send free books to prisoners across the United States. Their office (located near campus) is run by volunteers and through donations.
