Mission Mission

This is genius:

We’ve just started the missions first late night delivery service. We deliver pretty much anything you need.. Want a burrito and its 1145 and your drunk at the bar.. call us.. Need two gallons of milk, some rubber gloves and a dental damn… call us..

This is the brain child of two messengers that got sick and tired of sitting around downtown on standby all day, and decided to make something happen. There is late night delivery in NYC, Boston, Philly, and tons of other city’s, SF needs to get some.

And the reviews are in:

i was the first customer! we used TCB to pick up and deliver a pizza from a place that won’t deliver. A great idea, and I’m stoked that it’s Chas.

Ye333eeessss broooooh

Full disclosure: I don’t know Chas personally (one of the service’s proprietors), but he and his friend crushed the Mission Mission Alleycat yesterday, beating out the next finisher by 29 minutes.  Boy can ride a bike.

Brolores Park has the scoop on the budding Dolores Park fall fashion craze.

For those of you who do not believe Brolores Park is real life, this just popped up on Craigslist:

Family Circus lovers a must.

Looks like there is a slight uptick in gunpoint-robberies in the Mission.  Mission Loc@l reports there was a robbery at 2:23 last Thursday morning.  A tipster also tells us this tale from Thursday afternoon:

I got robbed by a dude with a gun at the laundromat at 20th and Guerrero, at around 6 pm.  We were both hanging out at the laundromat for like 45 minutes, me waiting for my stuff to dry and him I guess working up the nerve to rob me. About 15 minutes after I got there he came over and said he was hungry, so I gave him the bag of kettle chips I was eating. He didn’t look or sound very threatening. But what do I know, because about 30 minutes after that he pulled out a gun and told me to put my purse on the table and get on the floor. Like I said, there was no cash or anything valuable in my bag ( which I tried to tell him, but he just threatened to shoot me).

Description of the above robber? “tall, very skinny, sort of hungry/stressed out looking black guy, maybe late twenties?”

Another shit beer + liquor night at Bender’s?  With the addition of a campy horror flick? Count me in.

Looks like some wind FUCKED UP some scaffolding (with a little vehicular collateral damage).

Mission Loc@l has a really long story on it that I didn’t read but I’ll summarize for you here anyways:

1. It was wicked windy in SF last night.
2. Some construction crew did not properly secure the scaffolding to the building
3. Wind knocked over some scaffolding
4. One of the car owners is really pissed off this happened
5. The other car owner could not be reached for comment
6. The people renting the building said they heard a noise and then noticed there was wood everywhere.  ”We were, like, shit!  That doesn’t look right!”
7. Spelling mistake
8. A spokeswoman for the construction company apologizes for the incident, blames the wind, says this type of stuff happens a lot in places like Chicago
9. A visibly still drunk worker mentions that he was out with his friends when he got the call to come pick stuff up
10. Workers get mad overtime pay
11. Company + insurance has to replace the vehicles
12. …
13. Profit!

Was I right?

Let’s be honest, if you just come to this blog to look at Mission District photos, you should just cut out the middle man and follow KayVee.INC on Flickr.

Manu from SF Vegan Tamales recently shot this cool tandem-cycling vid around the city.  Nice to watch any day, great to watch if you are feeling emo.

This and other SF oddities found over at Bikes and the City.

I’m really digging the new SF Secrets video blog.  The host has one of those great personalities that screams “I do a lot of drugs” or “I’m a little too good with children” and, in a pro-level Borat manner, he always wears the same outfit.  But seriously, up until today, I did not know I could volunteer to play with belligerent, stray alligators and rattlesnakes at 15th and Harrison.  Secret ruined.

Animal Care and Control is San Francisco’s most hardcore pound. They often receive lizards, rattlesnakes, flying squirrels, and not long ago they brought in an alligator found in Lake Merced. Today I received a tour from Rebecca Katz, who is not only the director of the ACC, but she can charm snakes and is rumored to have dated Crocodile Dundee in her early teens.
