Mission Mission

I know the Chronicle claimed they could not list a restaurant that “captured” the Mission, but merely two months ago they did just that:

Following are restaurants that capture the spirit of their locale:

Mission District

Range: Exceptional, frequently changing menu of New American food. Superb service and clever interior with intriguing use of industrial artifacts. 842 Valencia (near 20th Street); (415) 232-8283. Dinner nightly. (link)

Personally, I think that selection captures the driving force behind the Chronicle’s declining readership.

I generally think seasons are overrated but nothing matches the beauty of dying leaves.  We don’t get much of a foliage in the Mission, but those rare patches of it are spectacular.

Alright, who’s the wise guy that put javascript snow flakes on MM?

Update: problem solved.  I really hope wordpress dies a slow death.

Whoever made this is my new favorite finger painter.

Saw this dollar taped to the tip jar at Philz.  Thought it looked pretty cool but was shocked at their complete disregard for the federal laws about vandalizing cash money.  Don’t worry commenters, I called the FBI and reported the offense.

You can sleep soundly tonight.

In celebration of and in donation to Food Not Bomb’s commitment to vegetarian food for the masses, Mission Street Food is serving a homage to pork!

Vegansaurus! savages them and their charitable givings in the commentary.

Yeah, cyclocross is definitely going to be the next “in” thing around this part of town.  I cannot wait for the underground ‘cross races to start in Dolores.  (Video)

Impressive feat of strength.

Just spotted this on that big empty near Philz on 24th that is always covered in shitty tags.  Looks like the city is initiating a new project Art in Store Fronts to spice up empty storefronts, something that I probably would have heard about a couple of months ago if I actually read the news.  Anyways, in this case, you can leave questions for a fortuneteller to answer.  Brilliant stuff like:

q: #1 If I masturbate, am I still a virgin?
#2 Can I ask another question?
a: No, you cannot ask a second question?

q: What will I get for Christmas?
a: You will probably get drunk.

q: Will I grow up?
a: You don’t grow up, you throw up.  And then your mama comes around the corner and shit licks it up.

q: ¿Cómo se dice corn?
a: Maíz
