I’ve long wondered why the incredible Groger’s Western Store near 26th and Valencia has stood empty and abandoned for all this time. Today, we may be closer to an answer.

Apparently, these wild robots are a bit of a problem in these parts.

This helpful PSA popped up on the sidewalks surrounding Dolores Park recently, after Jeremy Novy allegedly vandalized the new Dolores Park playground. But I mean, we know it’s Jeremy Novy, since he appeared in a big SF Weekly article about himself and took full credit for the koi fish stencils all over town. Which people tend to like. But maybe people didn’t like that they showed up on the brand-new playground? Because it was so fresh and so clean? So they made a similar stencil and put his name on it, snitch-style? Actually maybe he didn’t do it. Maybe it’s a frame job! Maybe……. good grief, I’m gonna go to the beach.

You can’t have one without the other — it just wouldn’t be the Mission.

While it’s going to take a lot to replace the awesomeness of the hammocked ladies in the original mural, Jonathon here is definitely up to the task.  He’ll probably paint your house if you ask him too.

Reader Marcus I. spotted this very strange collab between network television and drugs.

First they vandalized other artists’ work, now they’ve moved on to vandalizing federal property. A bold crew, this bunch of vegans.

No respect!

Hmm, graffiti or art?

I do like the koi:

The ants are OK (though the artistic merit of something I am currently battling in my kitchen is debatable.)

What the hell? Does this suck or did they get interrupted? (Also, no Sutro? get with the program.)

Lock up your goats!
