Fun with foodies

Ha!

But seriously, lunch at Pal’s looks pretty good today.

Help decide the fate of Dolores Park

The closures we mapped out last week aren’t the only changes coming soon to Dolores Park. More improvements (and more closures) are in the works, and tomorrow evening you can get involved with the decision-making process:

Thursday, June 2nd

6:30-8:30pm

Mission High School Cafeteria

On Thursday, June 2nd at 6:30, the community will gather for the first of a series of workshops to plan the renovation of Dolores Park.  Everyone is invited to participate.  At this first workshop, community members will brainstorm a wish list for park improvements and tour the park to create a shared analysis of what needs to be improved.

Reader Marcus just got in touch via a comment on our Contact us page to recommend a video he shot over the weekend. Here’s how it all started:

‎Hey Terresina, you should totally just like, stand on your skateboard and when the train stops, you’ll like, go forward.

Was it a solid hypothesis? See for yourself:

Awful awning on yet-to-open Italian bakery removed

Maybe they took our advice re: getting a better looking awning. Or maybe the grammar police shut them down re: their awful awning’s egregious spelling errors.

Or maybe that Italian bakery thing just isn’t happening, and instead a small self-service restaurant called Juntos Club is coming soon pending public hearing:

Sweet Mission Station SFPD merch for sale

This is a discontinued design, so they’ve only got L and XL left. But there are several new designs as well, on shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc. The Mission Station booth at Carnaval is located on Harrison just south of Mariposa.

Hot new look for summer: A pair of broken wrists

This is Claire. She ate shit skating down some epic hill in the Outer Richmond. But what a look. What a look.

Stolen burrito moment

When Mount Eerie‘s frontman launched into a droning minutes-long noise solo, the keyboard player took the opportunity to crouch down and eat a big foil-wrapped Mission burrito. Smart. Gotta grab those moments where you can when you’re on tour I guess.

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."
