Mission Mission

A little nugget of wisdom from your local bookstore.

That NY Buffalo Wings place on Valencia that is probably a front for something is apparently for sale! Will you be the next money-laundering operation to occupy the space?

Actually, at $225K, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper and spacious than any house around here. Maybe you could move in, take baths in the industrial-sized sink, and crash in one of those comfy booths? It would be great. You could serve wings at all your dinner parties.

Check out the listing over at Zillow.

Update: VIDEO TOUR!

This may be the significant thing that’s happened to St. Francis Fountain since they moved away from paper straws:

St Francis Fountain recently remodelled the space that used to be the kitchen that made candy for the fountain. They brought back life into the unused space by opening it up for events and to shorten the weekend brunch wait by offering more seating. The space will be available for events like birthdays, music shows, art openings, and to school functions (free of charge for schools)

The new space opens tonight with an art opening featuring terrariums made from unearthed vintage bottles from old overgrown forest dump sites. Check it out from 6-10pm.

YMFY writes, ‘Something amazing is coming to 15th and Valencia…’, and I’m pret-ty sure this is the new incarnation of Mollusk Surf Shop, currently only in the Sunset, opening in the Mission.

Almost makes me want to learn how to surf. But I can’t swim, so I guess I’ll just sit on the beach waxing my board like Rob Schneider in Surf Ninjas.

Come July, everyone’s favorite Mac OS X app will be available in real life!

Right? Brains or like a really gross giant-size molecule of cellulite or something?

Nope. Find out the truth after the jump:

At Pancho Villa.

Maybe they took our advice re: getting a better looking awning. Or maybe the grammar police shut them down re: their awful awning’s egregious spelling errors.

Or maybe that Italian bakery thing just isn’t happening, and instead a small self-service restaurant called Juntos Club is coming soon pending public hearing:

I went to the Blue Macaw and all I got were these lousy iPhone photos.

Macaw decor was in top form, though.

If you squint, you can almost make out the price of a PBR at the bottom of the board: four dollars! This has to be illegal.
