Mission Mission

Gnarly.

I guess nobody’s getting their hands on that iconic signage after all.

@missionmission someone's going to finally get the huge VAGINA LUTE sign they've always dreamed of.

Thanks, Josh!

To make way for condos:

So you might want to head over quick if you wanna salute it one last time.

Also, popular demand was able to force the Pig & Pie folks to keep the Discolandia signage up on their facade; think we can get the condo people to keep the iconic Giant Value letters (as mimicked in the “About” section of Mission Mission’s sidebar) up on theirs?

(Probably not.)

The above three images and the following text are pretty much all that exist on the Virgil’s Sea Room page right now, but I suppose it’s excitement enough for now:

We can’t wait to open these doors! Like our page to stay up to date on our (very soon to be opened) new neighborhood bar. — with Tom Temprano, Lila Lexington and Gillian Fitzgerald.

Can’t wait either!

What a move!

What a photo!

Wow!

UPDATE: Bianca on our Facebook timeline gives us a more complete version of the story…

Wasn’t that “amusing” as you are despicting it. Just saying. Just left 16 and Mission Bart station and as I was approching the ticket exit, a completely naked man with his penis hard was backing a woman coming from work I assume against a wall and he threw her down to the ground. Someone tried to stop him and he ended up throwing the guy to the ground and then got on the ticket exit/entrance thing and squatted over for everyone to see his anus and then and then and then….. the point is that no one could control the situation and then he started going after an older man and had him by the neck. He was obviously on PCP since he was so strong and out of it ( i think???)) wtf! Everyone ran out and no one could help. I heard “the police were on their way” but we all ended up getting out of there. I didn’t stick around. Thank god my kids weren’t with me. Sad world and fucked up people. Fuck 16th/Mission Bart. At your own risk!

Apologies for taking the wrong tone.
