Mission Mission

Rumor has it NBC’s Trauma was filming today in Dolores Park and around 19th and Valencia.  Anyone see any cool explosions/emergecy rescues?

Jackson, via email, hits us with this craptastic news:

A power outage has hit Thrift Town and a couple of other shops near Mission and 17th, impacting Halloween costume shopping plans until at least tomorrow.

Crackheads, peep this free-shit bonanza:

I love it when our oppressors try to relate and bro-down with us via hip spellings like “thanx.”  That shows they “get it.”

Found at 17th and Hoff by Cranky Old Mission Guy.

CBS is all over the news that someone was stabbed at 1am this morning.  I guess the new froyo place is not keeping away the crime.  Whoops.

A tipster informs us the Jay’s Cheesesteak, the best sandwich place in the Mission (sorry, Mission Burger), has finally added vegan mayo to their menu.  No price difference.  Huge taste difference.

Bissap Baobap is closing, Little Baobab (which has the best Mafe Tofu and Hibiscus Margaritas ever) is losing its dance club and consolidating menus with Bissap, BollyHood Cafe will be a full on dance club renamed “Cafe Bissap”, and the Bissap location is turning into Mediterranean / Pizza place.

Information overload.

GrubStreet has the scoop.

Mission Loc@l has the scoop.

MF Grocery shows us how to make beer using Fruity Dyno Bites.

I feel like this could easily be an Onion story in which a “journalist” interviews an irate suburbanite about their exaggeratedly bad time at Dolores Park and subsequent Yelp review.  Only this is real life:

#1 – Dont buy baked goods from people here, or breathe the air in general if you work at a job where you are drug tested. I was so stoned I couldnt function correctly for days (Please See Review of Delano’s IGA).

#2 – Wild, muddy dog runs wild and drops tennis ball soaked in mud/vomit/hell on my bare legs. Steph throws ball away. Rabid great dane thinks this is fun. Runs to another blanket with a dog and recruits him to join terror spree. Three minutes later, a pack of dogs are running amuck, knocking over margaritas, stepping on the packages of boys in neon blue speedos, slobbering on small children who scream in terror. The owners watch, nonplussed. So much for leashes. Lesson: I now have a love of muzzles and a renewed disgust for all varieties of balls.

#3 – Man wearing American Airlines headphones props himself above my lady friends and I and politely smiles, yet begins to masturbate. He finishes after we squeal and laugh and point. He decides to move closer down the hill to us and go for round two. Lesson: If this is the  ”view” and “culture” everyone is raving about, count me out.

From Rachel:

New sorta bay area centric nyt ads in the Bart. There were a bunch, that said “& Guggenheim, & d’orsay, & Avignon, & obama.”  and the mish?

& The Mission!  The New York Times is all over 24th St. BART like white on rice (or white on this blog!).  Perhaps it’s partly to remind us of their new Bay Area blog.
