Mission Mission

Last week San Francisco’s first and only ham and oyster bar announces dollar oysters, all day, five days a week, one of which is Sunday, until January 1, and I don’t hear about it until now? San Franciscans may not know that dollar oysters are not a universal phenomenon. In LA, where I am writing this, the concept doesn’t exist. When you google “dollar oysters” you just get a bunch of Yelp threads where someone asks “Where do you get dollar oysters in LA?” and someone responds, “I dunno, but a bunch of places in SF do it.”

So spread the word, people. Personally, I’m driving up Wednesday morning for Thanksgiving, so if anyone wants to meet me at Hog & Rocks around 2, I’ll be there.

Thanks to GGRA for the tip.

Take a note, bitch-ass taggers, and get your dibs in now.

Just leaning against a tree on 22nd while the owners each enjoyed a slice of pizza at a table inside, the u-lock resting on the table as well.

I had half a mind to jump on the taller one and ride around the block to teach this couple a lesson, but decided not to be a jerk (this time).

Lock your bikes, people!

Mission Local reports:

When the victim was down on the ground, the male suspect pulled out a gun. The victim then attempted to take the gun from the male suspect, at which point the female suspect attacked the victim. During the struggle, a shot was fired but no one was injured.

According to eyewitness accounts from workers at PicaPica Maize Kitchen, a crowd gathered around the scene and people attempted to help the victim. Two men reportedly emerged from a vehicle, and one beat the victim with a bat. Four police cars and one police motorbike then appeared at the scene.

Read on to see what happens once the action heads inside Four Barrel.

UPDATE: Some pics from the scene:

The popular pop-up shop is called Soul Groove. They did their thing at the Corner until the the Corner went kaput. Now Eater SF delivers the good news:

Back in the day, Mission Street Food’s Mission Burger proved there was something magical about serving a tricked out Heston Blumenthal-style beef patty at the deli counter of an Asian supermarket. Now today Eater receives word that a new pop-up shall carry on the Duc Loi pop-up baton: the fried chicken and waffle sandwich makers of Soul Groove.

Read on.

“Surrender those truffles!  Pour out that Four Loko!”  Perhaps it’s not too far-fetched after all?

There’s a petition to sign. And SFist published a powerful followup story. Plus there’s this:

Friday night tends to blur a bit.
