Yesterday afternoon, these five crappy-coffee pushers could be seen rolling down the length of Capp St. in their tricked-out Segways (peep those oversized off-roading tires; that’s how you know their seriousness knows no bounds). At first, I figured they were completely unaware of where the centers of economic activity occur around these parts. Then I realized the Capp St. corridor is the harbinger of Mission District economic progress. Capp has 1.3 million dollar dream homes (one even has a carriage house for your collection of prize-winning mares complete with a special walk-thru featured in the Chronicle), an opening cupcake store, jaywalking has replaced prostitution has the street’s greatest crime, and crack prices are through the roof. A rising tide lifts all boats.
I get it now, McDonalds. I get it.
