So many Michiganders in the Mission

I think I met like seven or eight new ones this week, and then I saw this Flint pride in a bathroom.

Muni metro featured in 1981 Chuck Norris movie

Lookin’ sharp! (Way sharper than the rest of this movie anyway.)

Fast forward to the 6:00 mark if you want to cut to the chase:

Lawn boarding

I’ve been staring at this picture all morning. It’s like a whole Michel Gondry movie packed into one little cellphone shot.

Organic pussi wanted

His name is Bone Head. His URL seems to be erroneous.

How’s that Giants game?

Bummer!

P.S. I’m pretty sure that’s a riff on an MLK quote.

Orderly pile of unused razors on BART

I mean, hopefully they were unused. Or, really, does it make a difference?

Actually, I bet somebody on that Tenderloin Bingo card could find some way to make use of these. Damn, what I wouldn’t give to come across an orderly pile of RAZRs on BART.

Tenderloin Bingo makes Tenderloin sound pret-ty bleak

It’s Cinco de Mayo. Maybe you want to get the hell out of the neighborhood tonight and avoid the shitshow that is a bunch of bros cabbing in to celebrate the holiday? Perhaps you’ll consider hanging in the Tenderloin. If you do, be sure to play Tenderloin Bingo.

“Someone Wearing the Shirt You Gave to Goodwill Six Months Ago” might make it pretty tough to get a blackout, but I’m sure it’s still a fun game.

Also, are Tenderloin Unicorns real?

Bro mantra

I wonder if this has anything to do with yesterday’s 12-pack robbery at knifepoint. That bro sure bro’d hard.

La Pabsts ou la vie!

Mission Local reports:

The 37-year-old victim ended his picnic early and thirsty.

He was sitting in Dolores Park at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when a 20-something male approached him, pulled out a knife and demanded a beer, police reported.

The suspect then decided he wanted more than one. He took the 12-pack and fled.

Wow, man. That’s a way better story than the thing I saw at Dolores Park last night. Watch your backs.

Read on.

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."
