Mission Mission

Our boy Carlos Reyes had been kind of absent from the internet for a while, but he’s back in full force, with pictures like this and poetry like that and philosophizing like BLAM. Do check in.

In the above video clip, extreme sportsman Travis Pastrana backflips a big wheel over a megaramp. How come nobody did that last week?

Bring Your Own Bring Your Own Big Wheel Video

Our buddy Annie (whom you might remember from her epic brush with niceness) caught this quick glimpse of something special happening in Dolores Park. Annie says:

Photo or video shoot, obviously, but I was on the J so I didn’t have enough time to guess at the plot. It looked like everybody was having a lot of fun, though.

A lot of fun shooting a new spot for Charlie Rose I bet.

Anyway, if you think this photo is fun, wait’ll you see the rest of Annie’s photostream.

Mission Local yesterday announced the release of a citywide playground report card, in which Dolores Park’s playground ranked amongst the lowest of the low. The failing grade indicates the playground is ill-signaged, under-equipped, dirrrty and unsafe.

Over at Curbed SF, Susie Cagle points out that just four years ago the same playground got a B, and asks whether this might be a case of politics undermining playground report card propriety.

You know, because the city wants everyone to get behind its forthcoming renovations.

The good news is, other neighborhood playgrounds rank amongst the highest of the high. Read on.

Penelope Popsicle snapped this picture, but apparently was not inclined to get these questions answered

Manuel just left a comment on our post about the shooting at 29th and Tiffany the other day:

It was me that was shot. Im jus more worried bout the well being of MY daughter. She did not in any way have to witness her father being robbed at gun point, the shot at! I hope that man goes away long enough to think about his actions! I worked hard to save money to supply myself with things I want and for one idiot to attempt to take it away jus cause HE HAD A GUN! NOT going to happend that easy!

Hey ladies, Fudgekat has some advice for you regarding your calves and leggings and tights and how to bag a man. Solid advice.

In case you haven’t seen it already, in honor of the Giants’ home opener later this afternoon, the best cartoon I’ve ever seen about baseball or LSD. (And it’s about both!)

Reader snoopz got a hot tip that whoever owns Delirium may have purchased the International Club out at 29th and Tiffany in La Lengua. In which case, the scene at south Tiff’ might change quite a bit.

Neighbor Katie, in response to snoopz’s comment, hopes otherwise: “I would rather have the IC’s midnight accordions than what i walk through on 16th street.”
