Some shirt last week was all, “Capp Street is for hookers.” I got to thinking about it, and, I disagree.
Historically, and increasingly, Capp is for bloggers. There’s tech blogger (and former Mission Mission writer) Kevin Montgomery who lives on Capp Street, there’s longtime Mission Mission writer (and Secret Alley founder) Ariel Dovas who often works out of the Secret Alley on Capp Street, nowadays you’ve got Mr. Justice broadcasting Burrito Justice Radio from the Secret Alley, and new on the scene is Amy who writes Capp Street Crap, etc., etc., etc. We even had an official Mission Mission staff meeting at the Uptown on Saturday! It’s all about being up on the Capp tip, y’all!
So who wants to buy this shirt? It’s a American Apparel. Get one here.
Here’s what it looks like on a guy:

It was better with hookers. They actually had a talent…
Sorry Allan, but this is funny.
Agreed.
what haggie said

was gentrified by
– BLOGGERS! -
The day Capp Street is legit gentrified, I’ll eat my blog
Didn’t a single family house on Capp at 20th go for $5 mil? I know it has its rough edges, but if that ain’t gentrified . . .
$3.5 mil. SORRY.

And another recently for close to $2 million.
That’s not bad for a huge house like that.
Another beautiful house that’s had all the period detail ripped out and replaced with recessed lighting and stainless steel appliances. Why do people buy these wonderful houses and gut them? They can buy a fucking condo with the same amount of character. It’s a disgrace.
Concur. It’s a fucking travesty.
This one is way more offensive
I used to live on Capp. There was this one hooker who would always be standing right across the street from my place when I would get in at midnight. She would still be there at 8AM the next day as I was getting ready to to go to work. She was one hard worker.
As we used to say in the old days …. Go to Capp Street if you wanna get capped!
I didn’t think this shirt could be more offensive, but it is.
