Mission Mission

Right back where we started from. Well, except for those people from the Midwest. But seriously, it’s time to stop hating on them. It’s not their fault they weren’t born next to a beach.

If anything, blame plate tectonics or something.

Can’t wait!

Mission Local has some background here.

I’m probably (hopefully) not the first person to have thought of this, but it turns out that a teacup or mug of an appropriate circumference makes the perfect burrito stand, for those of you who like to multitask while you lunch.

We knew the interiors were gonna be bangin’, but I’m completely taken aback by the decision to include a big face on the front of each car.

Our buddy Carl is on Fashionist today, and he says his fashion inspirations are “travel and action.”

Read on for Fashionist’s analysis and a closeup of those kicks. (And check out Carl’s photography while you’re at it.)

Apparently the previously announced four-in-a-row Sunday Streets in the Mission schedule is just the first part of a grander plan. Here’s the deal:

Sunday Streets Mission Community Meeting
Monday, March 19, 2012
6:30 pm
Brava Theater, 2781 24th Street (x York)

Come participate in a discussion about Sunday Streets 4-series pilot project in the Mission. The Mission Sunday Streets Pilot features four consecutive events the first Sundays in May, June, July and August (5/6, 6/3, 7/1, 8/5) on the popular Mission route – Valencia from 14th-24th and 24th Street from Valencia to Hampshire.

The purpose of this pilot is to explore the feasibility of holding more frequent Sunday Streets events on an established route. Our first step is to hold one Sunday Streets per month in the Mission on a regular schedule for consistency – the 1st Sunday of each month – to see what the challenges are and how it works for the community. We will be doing an Economic Analysis among businesses along the route, and gathering input from residents, business owners, local employees, religious institutions to gauge the impacts and support for the idea of having a regular Sunday Streets route in the Mission (or in another area of the City if it does not work out here).

Sunday Streets presenting City agency, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is offering flat rate parking in two Mission area garages on Sunday Streets days: $10 for the Mission Bartlett garage, and $7 at SF General for all vehicles entering from 6:00 am to noon, the flat rate covers parking until 6:00 pm. Vehicles entering after 12 noon pay the hourly rate.

Senior staff from Sunday Streets presenting agencies, Livable City and SFMTA will be present to answer questions, address concerns and take input from the those in attendance. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this program with the community on Monday, March 19th.

Sounds good to me. Let every Sunday be a Sunday Streets Sunday!
