Mission Mission

From our pal Parisa:

Some awesome busy beaver is making the raddest mosaic art under the 101 on 16th st

Alright, which one of you busy beavers is it?

UPDATE: The fire was in a unit “either above or behind” Mission Chinese Food, but they put it out quick, thank goodness. Mission Local has further details here. [via hadsrobinson]

Pretty damn good, I guess.

The Craigslist post seeking a holiday girlfriend that we told you about last week seems to have struck a chord in our city, with everyone popping out of the woodwork to weigh in on this clever romantic adventure.  While there have been plenty of  haters (see Insufferable Craigslist Bro Seeks “Holiday Girlfriend” on SF Weekly), others seem to tentatively be hoping that the whole thing works (Craigslist Holiday Boyfriend Looks For Love In San Francisco on HuffPost).  I wonder which way npr will rule?

Similarly, do a Craigslist search for “holiday girlfriend” and you’ll find several folks who just copied and pasted the original post as their own, hoping to score the same luck!

Whether our pal can actually find love for the holidays remains to be seen, but at this point we’re totally rooting for him.

Last week San Francisco’s first and only ham and oyster bar announces dollar oysters, all day, five days a week, one of which is Sunday, until January 1, and I don’t hear about it until now? San Franciscans may not know that dollar oysters are not a universal phenomenon. In LA, where I am writing this, the concept doesn’t exist. When you google “dollar oysters” you just get a bunch of Yelp threads where someone asks “Where do you get dollar oysters in LA?” and someone responds, “I dunno, but a bunch of places in SF do it.”

So spread the word, people. Personally, I’m driving up Wednesday morning for Thanksgiving, so if anyone wants to meet me at Hog & Rocks around 2, I’ll be there.

Thanks to GGRA for the tip.

Take a note, bitch-ass taggers, and get your dibs in now.

Just leaning against a tree on 22nd while the owners each enjoyed a slice of pizza at a table inside, the u-lock resting on the table as well.

I had half a mind to jump on the taller one and ride around the block to teach this couple a lesson, but decided not to be a jerk (this time).

Lock your bikes, people!
