If the banh mi cost a penny over $2.50, they better be better than Saigon Sandwich (impossible!) or come with a ride in the Cushman:

Life-Size Pinewood Derby in Dolores Park

ScreenHunter_01 Aug. 26 10.27

This is nowhere near as good as the impossibly epic Skateboarding in Dolores Park, but it’s an okay watch if you’re bored at work right now:

Jar of Hot Dogs

berlin’, my favorite blog about Berlin, took a turn around a suburban supermarket and found a number of trippy things, chief among them this jar o’ hot dogs:

The folks at Meica have expropriated a classic American rite of passage: the one in which boys wrench open their first jar of hot dog, devour the contents and chug the brine.

Rosamunde Sausage Grill Comes to the Mission!

And this location has its own beer. I’ll never have to visit the Lower Haight ever again. Grub Street has the scoop.

(Thanks, Brittney!)

Hell’s Angels honcho and original badass Sonny Barger did some modeling for local denim purveyor Self Edge recently, and Cool Hunting was lucky enough to get Self Edge honcho Kiya Babzani to write about the experience. Pics and prose here.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
