Mission Mission

Pablo Sandoval apparently ate at El Farolito last night and all I got was this crappy picture. Sorry, folks. I’m no good as a paparazzi.

I was in line by myself and the three guys in front of me started freaking out after he walked out. “Dude! That was Pablo Sandoval!” That kind of thing. I need to pay more attention.

Apparently we were all almost killed by a falling theater marquee. Mission Local reports:

Police closed off a block of Mission Street, between 20th and 21st street, as a safety precaution because a metal sheet from the Tower Theater sign was flapping from the wind.

“It was flapping like a flag,” said ice cream vendor, Magdaleno Gutierrez. “It would have killed someone.”

Firefighters arrived sometime after 1:30 p.m. and placed ropes to hold together the roughly 30 foot-long metal sign, according to a Department of Traffic and Parking employee on the scene.

I don’t see what the big deal was. I was in the park all afternoon and it was perfectly pleasant. Read on.

Reader Lisza encountered these signs on her way home from brunch today:

I encountered this saddening hatred on my way home from brunch (with a high bun no less)!

Thanks, Lisza!

Here’s one more:

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

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:

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

Bummer!

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

Apparently you have to have a permit to serve streefood! Who knew? It’s a shame; that was really good soup!

Now, if it were free on the other hand. . .
