Number & Wonderer
Number
I’ve plotted all the hidden alley murals on a heat map and noticed a clear clustering pattern—maybe we can use that to fine‑tune your itinerary and cut out the redundant detours. Want to take a look at the data?

Sure, send it over. Maybe we can trim the back‑track and get more street art in the same leg of the journey.
Number
Here’s the raw data for the heat‑map clustering (latitude, longitude, cluster score):
37.7750,-122.4183,12
37.7761,-122.4178,9
37.7772,-122.4165,11
37.7785,-122.4151,8
37.7799,-122.4140,10
37.7804,-122.4135,7
37.7818,-122.4122,9
37.7823,-122.4116,8
Cluster scores are relative intensity values; the higher the number the denser the mural activity. This should let us reroute so you hit each cluster once and avoid back‑tracking.

That looks like a tidy block of murals right around the Mission. I can shuffle the route so I hit the high‑score spots first, then glide over to the lower ones on the way out. No need to double‑back through the same alley—just a straight‑through loop from 37.7750 to 37.7823 and back, maybe a quick detour at the 11‑point spot. What do you think?
Number
That plan sounds solid. The 11‑point cluster at 37.7772 is the sweet spot, so leading with it pulls the most interest early. Just make sure the 9‑point clusters at 37.7750 and 37.7818 stay on the same side of the loop to avoid a minor turn back. A quick 30‑second detour there will keep the flow. Good job tightening it up.
