Reader Lisa T., of everyday photos, just sent this in, with the following note:

i’m not sure what this is or where it came from, but i snapped this guy on 20th near force of habit records. my first guess is it’s some sort of play on cesar chavez day..?

Hula Hoop Hijinx

On Saturday, this hula-hooping wunderkind had the crowd going crazy. It started out with a little, “Hey, check out that little girl hula hooping, she’s so tiny, ha-ha,” and quickly escalated to full-on rounds of applause and wild hooting and hollering from a sizeable section of the southern end of the park.

When she realized she was on stage, she really started putting on a show. By this I mean she started beating the shit out of her little boy companion for some reason, smiling all the while. But he took the beating like a man and afterward was not above helping her out with her two-hula-hoops-at-once trick, and just generally playing her comic foil.

Burrito Justice has another animated GIF (of the two of them hula hooping in tandem) right here.

Hot Dog Bust!

Says Sangroncito:

Yesterday I watched the cops surround and bust one of the hot dog street vendors on Mission at 22nd Street.  Felt sorry for the poor guy….I just don’t see the threat posed by hot dogs.

The police crackdowns have got me all paranoid.

Reader mcas spotted this crew on Saturday in an alley near Pancho Villa.

Thanks, mcas!

Treat Street Time Warp

Reader John B. found a neat trick:

[Y]ou can turn Dirty Thives back into Treat St. Bar: If [this link] works right, you should be looking at Dirty Thieves @ Treat & 24th. But then if you step forward one click down Treat towards 23rd, you step back in time and see Treat St. Bar.

Thanks, John!

Watermelon Vinegar

My new favorite thing.

I mean, maybe it had something to do with that you were to dip your PULLED-LAMB SANDWICH ON BRIOCHE into it. But I think it’d be solid on its own, too. Or with other stuff, like lettuce. Or avocado. Or ice cream.

Thanks, Mission Street Food!

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
