Local tagger Cancer Carl digs Neil Young

Here’s Neil Young performing “I’m the Ocean” with his mid-’90s backing band, Pearl Jam. The best part is the last minute or so:

Have you seen this dog?

Did you see an ambulance collide with a motorcycle last Friday?

Peggi writes:

My husband was recently in a collision on his motorcycle with an ambulance that ran a light before activating their siren/lights. He will eventually recover, but is out of commission for some months. The accident was on June 10 around 4p at the intersection of 16th St. & Potrero Ave.

The police were called, but we are still trying to find any witnesses that might have seen something.

Please leave a comment below or write to contact@missionmission.org if you might be able to help.

Uniting against dick employers and landlords

A few weeks back, we wrote about a boycott of a pair of local restaurants that were treating workers unfairly. After a week or so, a member of San Francisco Solidarity Network left a comment saying the boycott had been a success, and that their friend’s wages had been paid as a result.

Yesterday, the network sent us this handsome flyer. Take note, all.

Bereft of what?

Remorse? Regard for authority?

Epic train ride

Julio is the athlete. Terry is the photographer.

Do view it larger.

Yet another parklet nears completion on Valencia

San Francisco through the eyes of a Vice Magazine staff photographer

I always thought everybody at Vice basically hated SF, but a new photo essay by one of their own shows evidence of some reverence toward this city we all definitely love so much.

Night Fog Reader has the whole thing right here.

Staying classy

I’m just gonna recommend you listen to this song “At Last, We Have Class!” by local band Palms Spring and then consider going to their show tonight at SUB-Mission:

At Last, We Have Class!

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."
