The Mission According to Flickr Photographers

Johnny0 at Burrito Justice points us to this rendering of the Mission District’s boundaries according the the geotags found on Flickr photographs. Interesting that the northern end of Dolores Park isn’t included. What about all those bike polo pictures?

Johnny also looks at some of the newly coined “micro-hoods” (Transmission, Mastro), and proposes some new ones of his own. La Lengua is definitely one of my favorite areas. Link.

Oddly Compelling Avocado Q&A

The best avocados I’ve ever had I had in Sayulita, Mexico. They were like big orbs of epicly flavorful green butter. Today, SFGate‘s gardening section put up an oddly readable question-and-answer piece about the ins and outs of growing avocados here in SF. Link.

I love my fortune, even if McSweeney’s did write it. Also, dinner was great. See you tomorrow.

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
