But this is not what I necessarily love about the Mission. To answer your question, the Mission would be the Mission without the divide.

I was born and raised in the Mission, and for those of us who grew up here, I would argue that Valencia street has little to nothing to do with how we see the Mission’s uniqueness.

I am not speaking for everyone who grew up here, just with the residents I grew up with.

Then it was lesbians, artists, leftists, and bike messengers — maybe a more low rent bohemia — but the divide was there and no less a defining. You’re right. That is totally central to what it is we love about this place.

I bet that’s gonna be a hoot. Do tell us about what you saw.
