Nuts 2 U!

PS. I totally expect there to be a pop up shop somewhere in the Mission selling horse doovers, whatever the hell they are.

On our annual ferry ride to Burger Boogaloo yesterday, we were stricken dumb by the clear skies all around us. From as far away as the Alameda ferry terminal (where the ferry from SF makes a quick stop on its way to Oakland) we could see the Golden Gate Bridge clear as if we were floating right under it.

And what’s more, look how it was framed perfectly by the westernmost towers of the Bay Bridge!

(These photos, though shot on iPhone 6, don’t do justice to what was incredibly stunning to the naked eye — like, you had to be there.) (But anyway, take the ferry more often, y’all.) (Budget yachting, it’s called.)

(Thanks, Jess!) 

Got a message from our pal Megan late last night:

breaking news: someone lit the Galeria de la Raza mural on fire tonight (which comes right after they re-put it up when it got defaced)

SF Gate has more reporting on the history of this mural and all the times it’s been defaced here.

What is music for the Mission without also parring it up with equally awesome booze for the mission? At Pops, we think your extra special personality deserves some aren’t you special cocktails! Blue, beautiful, spicy, lovable…that’s the Marge Simpson in a nutshell. With jalapeno infused tequila, lime, triple sec, blue curacao with a chili salt rim, it tastes as good as it looks. Marge is definitely a Pops favorite, so make sure to stop in and try it for yourself.
