Mission Mission

Recently, six porta potties appeared at the entrance to Dolores Park, more than doubling the number of restroom options previously available.  The effect has been tremendous, with bathroom lines reduced dramatically, even during yesterday’s Hunky Jesus extravaganza.  And now dedicated boyfriends no longer have to prove their affection by waiting with their significant others in the girls line!

So, has the city finally figured it out? Are these now a semi-permanent fixture in the park until the long awaited Dolores renovation project constructs completely new ones?

If not, then they’re totally blowing it.  For now, enjoy the convenience and the cleanliness! Seriously, these are some of the cleanest porta potties in which I’ve ever set foot! And they smell nice too! Kind of like flowers! So much so that I exclaimed as much upon entering, and the woman using the one next to me agreed, “Isn’t it delightful?”

It sure is. Enjoy it while it lasts!

San Francisco still has a laser cat problem. Getting rid of these things isn’t as easy as people think.

We previously witnessed Brock’s close encounter, (The green ones may be the most common) and were haunted by a frightening depiction.

What do they want?? Or are they just hell bent on creating destruction?

Wow, this video was made six years ago. Happy holidays!

(Thanks for the idea, Chris!)

At the liquor store at 22nd and Folsom anyway. Sorry if that headline was misleading.

“Excellent reuse,” says reader Joshua A., snapper of this pic. Maybe it’s reuse, or maybe Anheuser-Busch is grasping at straws trying anything and everything to get savvy San Francisco taste makers like all of us here in the Mission to sample their wares.

See that, way down there at the bottom? Sun Ra!

I wonder if, even though it’s Earth Day, he’ll still channel some “Space is the Place”:

In any case, Earth Day is an important occasion. Learn about its history here, and do visit Earth Day SF if you can.

P.S. Did you know Sun Ra’s birth name was Herman Poole Blount? Dope birth name!

We took an in-depth look at this forthcoming restaurant’s progress a few weeks back. This week Radish launched their website, and apparently a guerilla marketing program.

Does this lo-fi marketing effort make you crave their fresh, seasonal cuisine or what?

P.S. This is totally a joke, relax.

Some nerd wants to know:

These look pretty good, for vegan cookies. They’re up for grabs now at the San Francisco Center for the Book Earth Day Celebration.

Previously he was concerned with your diet and spirituality. Now, he wants you to be less vain. This guy really cares.
