I like how they are totally on the Fruit Shelf (aka Speedo Hill) part of D park. :-D

SF without the sex is just… so lacking.

I was thinking it had to be local for them to find Mission Pie. And Burrito Justice was served by admitting to the Grand Taqueria Debate. I’ve previously mentioned the initial terror my friends felt walking into El Farolito…

Glad they didn’t mention Beretta, the line is long enough as it is.

But show 826 Valencia some love! Pirates on Valencia, Aaarrrrrr!

They could have done better food wise. What, Cancun isn’t good enough for them?

it could have been Foreign, Delfina, BiRite, Tartine and Farina (all of which i patronize and enjoy…well, i don’t actually ENJOY Tartine, but they have good bread), and focused only on the latter-day gentrified aspects. that’s honestly what i would have expected.

or it could have depicted the Mission as a violence damaged skid row, which it also isn’t (only).

anyways, OK with me if some touristas show up in the hood. it’s apparently the only thing – other than an overwhelmingly white / moneyed populace – that gets a neighborhood any love from the city.

good for local, non crack-n-ho oriented biz, too.
