Mission Mission

Mission Local reports:

Work along Mission Street is set to begin in March and will last six months, according to DPW.

Muni buses that run along Mission Street, including the 14 Mission — the third busiest line in the city — and the 49 Van Ness-Mission, will be rerouted onto South Van Ness Avenue.

Looks good to me! And it looked good to some commission that approved it or something yesterday. New Dolores Park, here we come!

Vegansaurus is on the scene:

[I]t’s really creepy in rainbow without the lights on! Do you think there will be a grocery heist?? [link]

Yikes! Definitely creepy. Better head elsewhere if you were planning on picking up some fancy orange juice for tomorrow’s mimosas.

It is possible this was Photoshopped.

SFist has details on how to help victims of the fire (as well as photos of the fire’s aftermath) here.

UPDATE: This is not a joke about a tragedy; this is a joke about the internet. If you’re outraged (or if you’re not), please channel your energy toward helping victims of the fire via the link above.

Reader Geoff G. submitted these photos via our Facebook wall. He explains:

My co-worker noticed a streak in the sky heading towards the ground. Then the fire.

Holy moly. SFist is covering the fire, but so far there’s no official word on the cause:

12:39: All streets in the immediate area are closed. The public is being asked to stay away from the Western Addition/NOPA/Alamo Square area for now.

12:40: A fifth alarm has now been called. This fire is completely out of control. Building is being described as “very old” by Captain Denis O’Leary. A Shelter-in-place has been declared.

Occupy banners above Mission Creek Café on Valencia. Also, can you spot the local Mission celebrity?

Can ya?

The 7th Touchstone Bouldering Series arrives at Mission Cliffs tonight from 5-11pm (as in, it just started!) Participation gets you free pizza, free beer, and a free T-shirt (pictured above).

Also, this just in from the Mission Cliffs Facebook page:

Attention Mission Cliffs, members and gusts: As you may have heard, we are pleased, proud, and absolutely pumped to announce that after a year and a half of hang ups, we have the building permits for a massive addition to our gym. Just imagine: Two levels of bouldering. Increased square footage for fitness. Adjustable Cracks. Separate Cycling Room. More Locker Space. New Front Entrance. And so much more.

Adjustable cracks! Great news, Mission Cliffs!
