That NY Buffalo Wings place on Valencia that is probably a front for something is apparently for sale! Will you be the next money-laundering operation to occupy the space?

Actually, at $225K, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper and spacious than any house around here. Maybe you could move in, take baths in the industrial-sized sink, and crash in one of those comfy booths? It would be great. You could serve wings at all your dinner parties.

Check out the listing over at Zillow.

Update: VIDEO TOUR!

Congratulations to Cyd for this epic photo that pretty perfectly sums up the Hard French experience and serves as the winner of our free ticket photo contest!  We’re sure you and your friend will have a similarly magnificent time this Sunday, because Pride is finally upon us this weekend and Hard French is ready to celebrate like never before with a whole lineup of DJs and other fun stuff in additon to special guest Erase Errata!

And for the rest of you who might not remember all the details, check them out here!

It seems that the owner of Delfina and I have a shared hobby: walking around the Mission and taking random pics. Here are two of his:

Yeah, I totally want to party with this pinky.

I would call this “hip-o-critical”.

But really, whew, glad this isn’t aimed at me.

That’s what this is, right?  Spotted on Valencia by 23rd.

Oh, that reminds me!  I have a dentist appointment tomorrow.  Thanks tooth art guy!

This may be the significant thing that’s happened to St. Francis Fountain since they moved away from paper straws:

St Francis Fountain recently remodelled the space that used to be the kitchen that made candy for the fountain. They brought back life into the unused space by opening it up for events and to shorten the weekend brunch wait by offering more seating. The space will be available for events like birthdays, music shows, art openings, and to school functions (free of charge for schools)

The new space opens tonight with an art opening featuring terrariums made from unearthed vintage bottles from old overgrown forest dump sites. Check it out from 6-10pm.
