I don’t care how cute they are, I bet none of the TCB guys have ever pulled this stunt.

Mission Local reports:

Work along Mission Street is set to begin in March and will last six months, according to DPW.

Muni buses that run along Mission Street, including the 14 Mission — the third busiest line in the city — and the 49 Van Ness-Mission, will be rerouted onto South Van Ness Avenue.

For Valentines Day, I bring you this Blammos video of Mission women scanning for an exit route.

Happy Valentine’s Day! RIP Whitney.

Today’s filthy update brought to you as the first installment of the new DOA (Daily Osage Alley) series, previously mentioned here. Stay tuned for more daily doses of innovate couch use, mountains of banana peels, and piles of broken dice from one of the Mission’s lesser known waste strewn alleys.

Okay, all animosity regarding this holiday aside, this is really fucking cute.  Homeboy here missed his girl in Toronto so much that he actually planned out a heart-shaped bike ride around the city so he could send her this GPS outline.  He must have really meant it too, because that one part where the two arcs meet at the top looks like it was quite the serious climb!  Check out the whole story over at Mission Bicycle.

Ah, modern romance.

Check out Rinee Shah‘s new art show, appropriately opening at kitchen supply boutique Pot + Pantry. All artwork is of food items from the popular TV show Seinfeld, “Junior mints, chocolate babka, black and white cookie, and more!”

For added laughs come dressed as the Soup Nazi or Kramer or something!

Thursday, Feb 16th 7-9pm – 593 Guerrero Street near 18th.

Inside Scoop has the inside scoop:

March 1, [executive chef Danny] Bowien will be moving to New York to open an East Coast branch of Mission Chinese Food, due on the Lower East Side later this year. They’ve got a space ready, and for the most part, the New York branch will incorporate many of the same aspects of MCF, including the menu and most notably, the charitable model.

Bowien — along with partner Anthony Myint — found a former takeout space on Orchard (between Rivington and Stanton), and will remodel it as Mission Chinese Food, though it will have the same DIY feel and shoestring budget as the original. A full bar is planned for the 39 seat-space. Lunch, dinner and takeout are the plan.

“It’s not going to be super fancy. It’ll be the same, but cleaner,” says Bowien. “But we know the food and we can design the restaurant where we’ll be more efficient.”

Cleaner!? That’s cool, I guess. Inside Scoop also hints that MCFNYC will be offering some sort of SF-inspired non-Chinese late-night menu. Sounds good to me. Can’t wait to visit! Read on.
