Mission Mission

Facing an invasion of fruit flies at The Secret Alley, Noel decides to employ a less-than-obvious method of getting rid of them: hanging a plastic bag with water and pennies in it over the counter. The idea being (I think) that the light reflecting out of the bag will confuse the little buggers, causing them to scatter.

Just in case this doesn’t happen to work, anyone have any other helpful ideas? The least obvious the better.

The Tens was in LA for a while, but lucky for us he’s back, and 2010 is looking good.

There’s no radness quite like California radness, believe you me. Sexpigeon knows this and wants to share.

westbymidwest peeped this street art the other day.  I always knew those damn penguins were an enemy of progress.

Also, westbymidwest also snapped a great shot of some transvestite sticker art.

Scene at Paxton Gate, that amazing place next to 826 Valencia.  Please buy me Hamlet mouse.

From everyday photos.  Incredible.

I googled this line from the bathroom wall at Cafe Petra (17th & Guerrero) to see if any lyrics came up.

They didn’t.  But this Quail Diary did.

Is someone in the Mission promoting this bird blog with a bathroom scrawl?  Probably not. But it’s nice to think about.

Also, I wish justonlysteve lived in the Mission so I could continuously jack his shit for the blog.

Oh geez.  Would you look at this?

This insane flash flood’s  going down at 18th and Shotwell!

Thanks to Chris for sending in the footage. Chris writes:

A co-worker and I were running back to the office after lunch when a flash flood stopped us at 18th and Shotwell. Manhole covers were pushed aside as water gushed from the street. Bad day to not have boots!
