Mission Mission

I was strolling down an alleyway that’s familiar to many but new to me and thought this lo-fi mural was pretty special.

Not sure I get this part but then again, I don’t get a lot of things:

I felt like kicking it old school this morning by putting something in the mail.  Turns out there was some easter egg sticker art in there paying homage to my favorite sticker artist.

On Capp St., where else?

Warning: Bike geekery via painter’s tape.  On Mission at 23rd.  Ask the folks at Valencia Cycles to show you how it’s done.

17th and Capp.

If I was a real journalist, I’d probably do a little research behind how these started popping up around the Mission.  Oh well.

Found in Berkeley but too awesome to ignore.

I’ve been watching Union SF building project lately because it seems like this building in particular attracts people that don’t get the neighborhood.  Reader Mission Mistaken once described prospective buyers as “the most vapid, frazzled and unfriendly looking group of Marina moms one could imagine.”  Well, looks like she was right.  On Friday, Curbed SF mentioned that 29 “homes” units have been sold over the last 3 weeks.  Best of all, one buyer said they moved in because it’s the “right location in an up-and-coming neighborhood.” Really?  Didn’t the Mission up-and-come years ago?

Pack your bags kids, cool has left the neighborhood.
