Hey I’m Abby,

I love you guys. I once saw Allan at Dear Mom (but I was kinda drunk) and had trouble putting a face to the name. Never again!

Can I work for you guys? Write? Photos? Support some how. I have a full time job, but I walk the mission streets daily soaking in the sights, sounds, smells (let me stress the smells) and would love to help generate content as a passionate hobby.

xox Cheers – Abby

Howdy!

Moved to SF in 2001 for college. Jumped back and forth between here and Oaktown a few times. Now in the city and counting over 10 years cumulative in the city. Boy howdy how it’s changing.

After working for small businesses all over I realized the only hope of every making ends meet was to strike out on my own. I do dog walking and pet sitting in the Castro, Noe Valley, Mission, Glen Park, and Bernal. I walk the woofs and cuddle the meows while you’re away. And despite all the bellyaching, I not so secretly like the hipsters and tech folk.

Hi Folks,

I’m Jordan and I work at Paxton Gate. I don’t live in the Mission but I work here and feel some sense of responsibility to keep an eye on things for the betterment of the neighborhood. At any rate I enjoy people watching, drinking too much coffee, and drinking too much in general. You can find me at Giordanos every Monday blowing off steam.

Hi,
I’m Jason and I live in SOMA but seem to end up on 24th Street at St Francis or Humphrey Slocombe way too often. I read this blog daily and have even been known to show it to students at the school where I work as they are likely more your demographic than my old ass. I started a blog about San Francisco recently at http://www.guidosdaddy.com I figured there just weren’t enough out there…
Cheers!
Jason

Hola

I lived in the Mission from 1993 to 1997 and painted murals and read poetry and did art there. I worked on Clarion Alley with Rigo and Aaron and crashed there a lot, too.

I also briefly worked the door for and helped with the dawn of Dalva in ’94. I was at the Tuesday night Elbo Room sessions of Charlie Hunter Trio that year, too which was sublime.

I wrote a novel in which the Mission is a significant character in a way, but it wasn’t very good.

I miss things which don’t exist and explore the nw arrivals with trepidation, but begrudging acceptance – things change.

cranky though about it.

miss my first $400/month apartment in SF, my first home in the years I became a man … which will always have been in the Mission.

sigh.

Hiya there, I’m William. I’m a hooker and I live in the Sunset. I LOVE this blog. Not sure how I discovered it, but damn I love it. I come to the Mission daily for sun and heat (the Sunset has none, like, ever), bananas from Casa Guadalupe (3 pounds for a dollar if ripe) and you know, to give ‘massages’.

Hi, I’m katie. I just want to apologize to the girl at the door of El Rio. I gave you a really hard time friday night and may have gotten myself kicked out for life… I blame the beermate… and the gimletmate. But i really am sorry.

The SFMOMA is closing for 3 years starting in less than a year. No big deal. Valencia street is becoming a modern art museum Sunday July 1st when it features 49+ framed pieces of original work, all _gIFTs to this neighborhood we love.

If I read it correctly (which I did, so I only typed “If I read it correctly” as a polite sentence starter) the statement was “I invented Mission Mission”. I don’t think the author is claiming to have invented the web log just a hella funny times place.
I invented the chocolate chip cookie though. Well not “thee” chocolate chip cookie but I’ve made some before. While we’re on the topic of cookies, Anthonys are nomfukinlicious.

I am Emily. I don’t live in the Mission, but I spend more time there than anywhere else. I talk about veganism probably too much and drink too much beer. But the good thing is that I’m selective about my veganism and my beer consumption? Whatever you tell yourself, I guess….

Allan, hi. We just me each other (again) at ping pong at Dear Mom. Thanks for doing such a bang-up job with this blog. I’ve been reading it for months. Love it!
