Doc Pop heard a rumor that the dudes behind the counter at Mission Burger might be moving their operation from the Duc Loi kitchen to somewhere more permanent. According to this rumor, this move has nothing to do with Commonwealth, so be on the lookout for two new Mission Street Food-related endeavors to begin dishing up goodness later this year. According to rumor.

Local artist Rio Yañez laments another neighborhood closure:
The closing of US Video marks the final death of Video stores in the Mission that cater to working class Latino families in the neighborhood. All that’s left in the neighborhood is Lost Weekend. I never thought I’d live to see the day that it would be easier to rent a copy of some obscure Orson Welles film than a copy of Transformers (or some other commercial mainstream movie).
I guess working-class Latino families are just going to have to learn to love Mr. Arkadin and rad t-shirts.
You should throw your trash in the trash can, for sure. But if you happen to have some gum that you weren’t wanting, I know a spot.
Capp Street, natch.
Also, this is the urban fairy circle, right?
Word has come down, riding upon the mystical winds of the corridor of the great Valencia that Ripley, the hairless wonder that sat in the window or on the counter of Borderlands Books, has perished.
Seriously, we wish the owners the best, that was one amazing feline.
UPDATE: So, I’m no reporter, that much is clear. Claud informs me in the comments that my picture is of Ash, who is, thankfully, alive and well. Ripley is seen below in a picture from the Borderlands website. Thanks to Claud, and sorry to all our readers.
Read an announcement from the owners and share your thoughts here.
(thanks, laurie bk)
The SPCA apparently really wants you to adopt some cats. I wonder why.

If you already love Arizmendi, you know why this news is epic news. If you don’t already love Arizmendi, you will soon. Just look at that pizza and those happy owner-bakers eating it! Just look at this cheese scone I had last September:
Yum! And the cookies are amaaaaaazing.
Congrats again to Hamburger Eyes on an epic opening.
Congrats to Armand here, who just graduated from Cal’s Graduate School of New Media Twitter Blog Science. What will become of Mission Local without him?
And Sunny, you’ve got lipstick on your chin.
Good thing I was trounced in pinball last night. Had I not been moping down Shotwell in defeat, I wouldn’t have noticed this stencil, which offers an important update on the state of fake mustaches.
I threw a mustache party back in 2008, still have a supply of pretend pencil thins, and have wondered “are they passé? Or still good for a few chuckles?”
Although, not being a native, maybe I’m misinterpreting sarcasm here? Best to be cautious next time I encounter someone sportin’ a faux meat sweeper and look for social cues before laughing too loud.
This is the secret to warming back up after you froze your ass off watching Starsky & Hutch in the park.
Also of note: They go really well together!
