Brock just hipped us to this tragic scene, saying, “i am in the fetal position on the floor, crying over this one.” I know we’re all hoping it’s just going in for a tuneup (not that I’ve ever patronized this place or anything). Link.
But really, gosh, what a day for Mission signage.

wtf? why are they dismantling your neighborhood one sign at a time? if they lay a hand on the ChaChaCha sign ill run up on em with a double barrel in hand.
[...] and, hey! They picked up the SFist story on Mission Mission, another of my favorite blogs (where a quote of mine was also featured last [...]
I know dude! Looks like it might come to that. And I’m stuck over here in SoMa at the day job, powerless.
Hmmmmmmmmmm…. there’s something up at Katz lately.
They were shut down in afternoons and repainted the whole thing over the past month.
They have applied to serve alcoholic beverages (Public Notice in Bottom Right window)…
I’m going to bet they’re changing ownership which would kill me- a Jewish kid from South Florida where I’m already constantly lamenting on this city’s lack of quality bagels…
It’s all about House of Bagels… The most authentic bagels I’ve had in SF. But so sad if Katz is gone/changed. Taking down the bagel flying saucer is a bad idea… It is a landmark!
This is making me miss Kelly’s. I used to think the bagel was a burger flying saucer, and I would say, “Meet me at Kelly’s, the place with the burger flying saucer.”
They’ve been going through a serious identity makeover, serving pizza at night and I believe the last time I was there they had table clothes!
I gotta say I like katz, I don’t want to get into name calling about what a bagel should or shouldn’t be, but Katz boils some damn fine dough…
as a bagel loving east coaster i will be really sad if the only semi-decent bagel place in the city stops serving bagels!
Nooo! I forbid this! I love that bagel UFO.
I always thought it was a burger.
quick! we need to upgrade the burrito tunnel

So, without the bagel up there, the signage really does just say “Katz Pizza”…. scary thought. It’s the best GOYgles I’ve found in the city and I don’t want to ride my bike to the Richmond for breakfast….

My theory was that the bagel was idling if ever the need came for all the Jews to leave the planet. Kinda like Sun-Ra’s spaceship to the black planet. Hooray, we must be safe now.
heh. to what paradise (or desert) would it have taken us?
Um, Jewpiter?
doh. that’s why you’re the journalist, allan. a real wordsmith.
(i hear condos on jewpiter are going cheap, btw.)
