Mission Mission

Doc Pop heard a rumor that the dudes behind the counter at Mission Burger might be moving their operation from the Duc Loi kitchen to somewhere more permanent. According to this rumor, this move has nothing to do with Commonwealth, so be on the lookout for two new Mission Street Food-related endeavors to begin dishing up goodness later this year. According to rumor.

Local artist Rio Yañez laments another neighborhood closure:

The closing of US Video marks the final death of Video stores in the Mission that cater to working class Latino families in the neighborhood. All that’s left in the neighborhood is Lost Weekend. I never thought I’d live to see the day that it would be easier to rent a copy of some obscure Orson Welles film than a copy of Transformers (or some other commercial mainstream movie).

Read on.

I guess working-class Latino families are just going to have to learn to love Mr. Arkadin and rad t-shirts.

The SPCA apparently really wants you to adopt some cats. I wonder why.

An Adorable Little Lady and a Big Studly Dude

If you already love Arizmendi, you know why this news is epic news. If you don’t already love Arizmendi, you will soon. Just look at that pizza and those happy owner-bakers eating it! Just look at this cheese scone I had last September:

Yum! And the cookies are amaaaaaazing.

Congrats again to Hamburger Eyes on an epic opening.

Congrats to Armand here, who just graduated from Cal’s Graduate School of New Media Twitter Blog Science. What will become of Mission Local without him?

And Sunny, you’ve got lipstick on your chin.

This is the secret to warming back up after you froze your ass off watching Starsky & Hutch in the park.

Also of note: They go really well together!

Happy Friday, readership of ours! Adopt a pet today or this weekend if you so desire!

Sugar — 2 year old female Chihuahua

This adorable little lady was brought in by her previous home because they were struggling with their own medical issues. Soon after arriving here, we discovered that Sugar has some allergies, which seemed to have caused some hair loss previously. Our veterinary team and her foster moms have been smothering her in extra TLC and she’s looking ship-shape with the attention and special diet.
Ms. Sugar is a gentle, sweet and a perfect companion. She’s enjoying daily romps on the beach with the other pups in her foster home, and snuggles nightly with the kitties. She’d love to settle into a home with daily walks, warm blankets to burrow under, and lots of love and affection.

Drulie — 1 year old male shorthair

Drulie is a big studly dude with a passion for affection and attention. He loves to be pet and sometimes drools when he’s excited by the love he’s getting…adorable, no? This beefy kitty would do best as an only cat – he’s not ready to share the love. If you’ve been searching for a companion to share your space, and hang out on those lazy summer days – this is your guy!

All pets adopted from SFSPCA have received a pre-adoption veterinary exam and behavior assessment, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery and a microchip.

Hangin’ at the Cave around 10ish last night, we took notice of a very steady stream of people coming in just to use the turlet. One after the other. This guy was the sixth in about five minutes! And the counter staff doesn’t even bat an eye!

So, next time the line is too long at Mission Police Urination Station, head for Ali Baba’s.

For some reason, after the Hamburger Eyes opening last night I felt a powerful urge to go see Iron Man again.
