New ‘Welcome to Dolores Park’ sign is just a big ugly list of things you’re not allowed to do but probably will anyway

Cold Beer sans hat!

It’s pretty damn nice in the park right now, not sure why you guys are choosing to stay at work

I too took pictures of the Valencia Street bomb scare situation but neglected to suss out any other salient details

Vic totally killed it with his shot of the bomb-bot (flawed though the bomb-bot may be), but I stand by my flare-heavy RAZR pics here.

Oooh, here’s a new fact! This shot of an SF Community College District Police car might mean this all had something to do with the Mission branch of CCSF:

(I checked Twitter also, and mind you this is all five hours after the fact — I had to watch two hours of Breaking Bad and then go to Slow Jams, yo — but still nobody seems to know what exactly went down. Maybe we’ll call SFPD Media Relations in the morning.)

Creepy cat-man and his pet creepy man-cat say: ‘This is your last chance to win FREE TICKETS to Treasure Island Music Festival 2011!’

Our contest ends tomorrow at noon. The picture above is an entry in said contest. There’ve only been a couple dozen entries (most of which you can see here), so the odds are still pret-ty good.

The Corner is kaput

Eater SF reports:

On Sunday night the Ken Ken Ramen pop-up served its last noodle at The Corner. Meanwhile, the managers gave away free ice cream to diners as they moved everything out of the basement during service. There was a flood, they said, so they had to leave. But The Corner is in deeper water than that. SFoodie spoke with chef Joanna Karlinsky of the Sweet Joe’s pop-up, who said the Health Dept. recently inspected the space, finding it was only set up to be a wine bar, not a full service kitchen. Naturally, they had to cease operations.

Read on for info on the fates of all the pop-ups this news affects.

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."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
