Mission Mission

From artist Chloe Fleury‘s about page:

Hello, I’m Chloe. I am French.

I fell in love with international travel on a trip to California when i was 10 years old. I now live and work in San Francisco.

And one of her favorite neighborhoods is the Mission, and this is how she depicts it in paper. Other neighborhoods here.

And just simply file this one under DON’T.

Today feels like a good coconut day.  Has anyone gotten a coconut from this place yet?  They’re only $2.50 each, and the place is run by a local immigrant whose dream is to sell coconuts.  A friendly gentleman even stands in front with a machete ready to help you liberate the sweet coconut water, which also happens to be the best hangover cure in the world, battle-tested by professional Guyanese lay-abouts (you can keep your kombucha, thank you very much).

It’s one of those places that looks like a front for something unsavory, but only because they are still working on getting all their permits.  And just ask Mission Minis and Anthony’s Cookies about what happens when you don’t get your permits.  Nope, nothing here except good, wholesome young coconuts.  Even Madonna is cuckoo for coconuts.

Dog friendly, stroller friendly. Drink inside, drink outside. What’s not to like?

Look at this! The Ferocious Few have expanded their ranks! They were epic as a duo, but you can’t say no to a fuller sound.

I wonder how much we could get for Dolores. I mean, with such sub-par playground facilities, maybe Nike wouldn’t even be interested. Maybe the best we could do is Skechers.

Manuel, alleged victim of a shooting last week at 29th and Tiffany in LA LENGUA, who earlier expressed lament that his daughter bore witness to such violence, speaks once again:

I was borned and raised in these streets. People have concerns aout STREET CODE! When I was growing up! The rules ARE! NO WOMEN OR CHILDREN! Who broke the code?

In an interview with 7×7 yesterday, Delfina’s Craig Stoll, apropos of not much, said that when he used to work at Timo’s, “[A]fter hours all the waitresses would put matches on their breasts and light them fire.” All the waitresses. He adds, “That was pretty fun.”

He also confirms yesterday’s report that Delfina is taking over the Ramblas space, and reveals that they will be serving Roman cuisine. Read on.

(Thanks, bodah!)
