Mission Mission

Kevin Montgomery just snapped this shot of 24th Street’s newest restaurant-to-be, China Fun Fast Food. Kevin wonders, “I wonder how fun it will be.” Link.

Thanks, Kevin!

The SF Appeal (the only newspaper I still subscribe to) today shares a short video about the Mission Arts & Performance Project, an organization that aims to combat violence with creativity via a semimonthly neighborhood-wide party. Link.

Also, I have no idea what “semimonthly” means. But the beauty of being a blogger, apparently, is I don’t have to fact check if I don’t wanna.

Dave, man, I knew you felt strongly about the ’90s, but you didn’t have to go and vandalize private property to prove your point.

But seriously, for this week’s I Heart Street Art, I just posted a bunch of graffiti from around the Mission that I was afraid to post here in light of the recent backlash.

Okay, kidding again. For reals though, this week’s post was written with the aid of a powerful dose of Benadryl. Holler if it sucks. Link.

Sexpigeon today published a catalog of urban codes, akin to the shoes-on-a-wire-means-a-crack-dealer-lives-here thing. Here’s a new one: “Discarded bike lock: Unlicensed dentist.” Read on for some real mindblowers.

Spandex has never really been my thing, but this looks like a fun club to be in. Link.

Okay, so we start with the bad. It inspires more bad, and more bad. When does the next Walt Whitman get here?

Where’d everybody go? In an email titled “Monday morning, 7 a.m., Dolores Park,” reader Rebecca K. writes, “Seriously, people?”

Seriously, who does this? Who?
