Mission Mission

The New 20th Street Corridor is still just getting going, and already one of its anchors is setting its sights on another corner of the neighborhood, Bryant near 15th. Eater SF reports:

Salumeria, the deli from the Central Kitchen and Flour + Water team, has signed a deal to open their second location there, in the lobby of the former Hamm’s brewery building. It’s a recently renovated mixed-use space that accommodates a number of offices, includingRdio and Asana, and will presumably provide a local lunch option for said offices in the otherwise industry- and chain-heavy corridor near the Potrero Center.

It opens in September, and they’re gonna serve Hamm’s

And by “Mission and Valencia,” we mean the corner of Mission and Valencia. Burrito Justice reports:

[T]he SFPUC, the SF Planning Department, and the SF Department of Public Works are seeking input on green plazas at Valencia & Mission, and at Valencia and Duncan.

[...]

So go to the meeting on July 9th and let them know that La Lengua appreciates the love.

What: Mission and Valencia Green Gateway Community Open House #2
When: Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 4:00pm to 8:00pm

But seriously, just read the full Burrito Justice post, which includes more pics, a look back at past proposals, and a killer animated GIF.

Balkan Brass & Eastern Groove is the best Eastern Europe-themed dance party in town, man, and after tonight’s edition, it’s going into hibernation for a while:

Catch it while you can! RSVP and invite your friends!

That’s how they transform into shit wolves!  And there’s few things on this Earth worse than a full-fledged shit werewolf.

Don’t worry, this little guy was just stopping to smell the flowers.  Don’t you wish you did that a bit more often?

Please watch this video of some fun being had on Mission Street yesterday afternoon. Soundtrack by Cyndi Lauper. It’s only 15 seconds long, so do stick around for the twist ending. Click to view:

Bands all day:

Ping pong all night:

(Note: Ping Pong Nite starts early tonight, like as soon as Big Time Freedom ends.)

Marta Franco has the story of the “Naked BART Man” over at Mission Local.

“I was giving out flyers of the show, and somehow I started thinking that my friends were pulling my leg and everybody there was pretending,” he said. “And I don’t know how, but I got naked and I was performing and I saw the people taking photos of me and I thought, ‘I’m at the Cirque du Soleil, I’m the great Yeiner, from Colombia’.”

She says that he hadn’t eaten or slept for four days and had a history of suicidal depression. The story also ties into possible political maneuvers by BART workers negotiating wages.

Read the story here.

I’m as happy as anyone about the recent changes to human rights laws as they pertain to same sex couples. So here’s a video of a couple getting married during Pride weekend in a giant bong.

(Thanks, EK!)

I just love this app Stilly. That is all.

Prompted by the very popular map of SF for New Yorkers we posted just a little while ago, @mrsketchee shared this fantasy of a New York-style subway system in SF.

Can you imagine???
