Mission Mission

SF Appeal reports:

A female driver and her one-year-old passenger were hospitalized this morning after she crashed into a fire hydrant in San Francisco’s Mission District, police said.

The woman struck her 1995 Toyota Camry into a hydrant at the intersection of 23rd and Mission Streets at about 4:15 a.m., San Francisco police said.

The one year old suffered life-threatening injuries, and was taken to a local hospital. The driver was also taken to the hospital, with injuries that were not life threatening, police said.

Car accident victims who sustained injuries may read this CBD review to find cannabis products that can help provide pain relief.

We all know a grilled cheese is 10,000 times better with avocado on it. So what do you do when your favorite bar runs out? Send someone to the taquería up the street for an avocado side and some green salsa:

Makes the tots better, too.

The old feud.  Who will win?  Parking in the Mission is a nightmare.  I had a car when I first moved to the neighborhood.  After my first week living here, I had amassed 3 parking tickets and quickly decided that having a car in the Mission is a luxury reserved for royalty and visiting heads of state.  Many years of bicycling later, I’m quite pleased with my decision, even if day trips to Point Reyes are a lot more difficult to pull off now.

All has been quiet at this mysterious apartment on Valencia at Liberty since their botched escape attempt, so naturally I was intrigued as to what this latest piece of gadgetry might be.  If you’re too lazy to walk by yourself, there’s a few closer looks after the jump:

Our pal Iron Davy (half of the team responsible for our recent redesign) explains (he’s a bee expert):

My bad! Next time I’ll title the post “Bee party rocks the Mission!” [link]

“Apparently they love coffee,” says tipster Felix Sargent.

This is mere days after a swarm of bees were unleashed on Valencia Street. Watch your backs!

These have been popping up around the ‘hood. Looks like Bombay Ice Creamery is reopening on South Van Ness.

In other news, South Van Ness is the new Valencia.

Bummed as we were to see Ramblas replaced, surely there’s some good news in here somewhere. Paolo over at SF Gate has the first report:

Diners sit at simple dark wood tables graced with Locanda-branded water bottles and candleholders refurbished from Italian anchovy cans. Shortly after ordering, slices of pizza bianca arrive. With a playful wink to San Francisco’s pizza trend, bianca is billed as “not pizza.” And it’s not – it’s a focaccia-like Roman-style flatbread.

Sounds good. The menu is mostly about pasta, and unlike Delfina they have cocktails! Read on.

The Bay Bridged this week published a big report about how cool Thao and Mirah’s new recordings are (see video above) and how cool their tour is going to be.

What they failed to mention is that RIGHT NOW they’re kicking off said tour with an unannounced (I guess that’s why they didn’t announce it, huh) show at Valencia Street vintage typewriter purveyor Viracocha. Omw!

Me too.
