Relieved Of Duty

Mission Police Station

I just hope this is able to reach you in time.

Last night I ran into a hot tip that originated at Sean from ARAWA, and I decided to follow up. The lead was good: The Mission Police Station has a public restroom that is available 24 hours a day.

That’s right. Now you don’t have to stand up against the side of a building and pretend you’re just a low-texter while trying not to splash on your shoes. At least not in the area around 17th and Valencia. You basically just straighten yourself up, waltz into the lobby, motion to one of the two bathrooms with a smile and a raise of the eyebrows and the cops behind the glass will buzz you right in. It’s as simple as that.

    Amazing revelation!

    I’ve got some more breaking news: Once, long ago, the Mission wasn’t populated with tweeting hipsters and trendy restaurants. Shocking, isn’t it?

  8. Dan says:

    They’re pretty friendly and welcoming at that station, too–– I generally get the sense that it’s not populated by the most intense, hopped-up group of cops. Once, I saw a transsexual hooker trying to Johns on the street right outside that station. That was when I decided I truly live in a lawless land.

    That station used to be the Pepsi Bottling plant – who remembers?

    I have on two occasions been in there and both times someone was shooting up and/or snorting coke on the premises. I was impressed.

    When did you first find out that you’d be a parent? How did you feel?
