Son of Parklet: Behold the mini-stage

Mission Local reports:

First came parklets. Next up: mini-stages for street performers.

The Chronicle reported today on a project called Street Stage, which was recently deployed at the Mission Community Market. Designed to be compact and mobile — perfect for street performers — the original prototype was constructed in 48 hours during Makeathon by George Zisiadis.

Read on.

Everybody gentrifies

Here’s Gothamist founder Jake Dobkin on gentrification in NYC:

All New Yorkers are gentrifiers. Say you’re of Jewish extraction: your forebears gentrified some Irish right out of L.E.S. around the turn of the century. Or maybe you’re Irish, and your ancestors were responsible for gentrifying the marginal land around the Collect Pond in Five Points. Or maybe your family goes all the way back to New Amsterdam and Peter Minuit, the original gentrifier, who gentrified the poor Native Americans right off Manhattan island. No New Yorker, no matter how long their tenure, has the right to point fingers and say to anyone else “the problem started when you arrived here.” [link]

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
