A New Universe Just Three Blocks Away

Queen Larbs recently relocated from a beloved apartment on Albion to new digs closer to the park:

Had you asked me three months ago, I would’ve sworn Albion is my jam and I would NEVER leave. Fast forward to now and I will admit that shit was foul. From the abundance of human dookies to the plethora of hooligans, I’m glad I’ve grown out of Al-beezy fo’ sheezy.

Yesterday’s Orange Alley party was a success. Lots of new murals are up, including this high-concept choose-your-own-adventure-style one starring Shitty Kitty and Godzilla. Burrito Justice has closeups and further evidence of the alley’s transformation:

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
