Mission Mission

Mission Local reports:

When the victim was down on the ground, the male suspect pulled out a gun. The victim then attempted to take the gun from the male suspect, at which point the female suspect attacked the victim. During the struggle, a shot was fired but no one was injured.

According to eyewitness accounts from workers at PicaPica Maize Kitchen, a crowd gathered around the scene and people attempted to help the victim. Two men reportedly emerged from a vehicle, and one beat the victim with a bat. Four police cars and one police motorbike then appeared at the scene.

Read on to see what happens once the action heads inside Four Barrel.

UPDATE: Some pics from the scene:

The popular pop-up shop is called Soul Groove. They did their thing at the Corner until the the Corner went kaput. Now Eater SF delivers the good news:

Back in the day, Mission Street Food’s Mission Burger proved there was something magical about serving a tricked out Heston Blumenthal-style beef patty at the deli counter of an Asian supermarket. Now today Eater receives word that a new pop-up shall carry on the Duc Loi pop-up baton: the fried chicken and waffle sandwich makers of Soul Groove.

There’s a petition to sign. And SFist published a powerful followup story. Plus there’s this:

UPDATE: Also, this.

Friday night tends to blur a bit.

MM reader Mike has a perfectly reasonable request:

maybe you can help solve the mystery of why someone would place an iguana in a straw basket up my tree. @ 17th and albion

I usually never write this, but WTF???  Some bizarre feeding ritual?  Fresh air?  Owner has been playing too much Skyrim and wanted to see if his reptile could fly too?

Someone better have a good explanation for this or Vegansaurus is gonna rage!

I must say that I find this porta-potty disguise much less pretentious than our previously featured example.  Perhaps it’s the festive colors or the whimsical design that makes it look more like a miniature golf obstacle.  Regardless, I’d really like to know if the person behind this is also responsible for the colorful Cushman across the street!

(Thanks Jaimie!)
