Mission Mission

At Mission Pie, that is:

Deal of the year R Image Market!

What? I’m not even joking. If you think this is funny then go back to Sonoma, snob.

Yeah, it’s in Berkeley, but Pounding Serfs is worth it.

The first time you read it, you see the cute girl in the avatar and you’re like, “Wow, this cute girl takes amazing cellphone pics. And she seems to be in a different city every day!” And then after a while you start to realize the pictures are taken by three dudes who live in three different California cities. But you still love it!

Let’s all go to their big opening this Friday!

P.S. Learn more in this nice Fecal Face writeup.

Robby over at OMG the Mish begins his lament thusly:

As some of you may have noticed, the St. Francis Fountain have changed their straws.  Gone are the halcyon days of the neighborhood favorite paper barbershop straws.  Instead we get plastic ones in soulless blue and clear.

Read on.

Local lonely boy David Enos today published the first of a new series titled Loneliest Places in SF. Seen above, #1 is Van Ness Station. That’s real talk.

If you’ve got suggestions for future installments, please leave ‘em below.

The listing doesn’t seem to want to post the real name, defaulting to “Landmark Nightclub/Restaurant & Hostel,” but looks like Medjool bar is for sale.

For a cool $7.25 million, it could be yours to do as you please. Maybe you could help it fulfill it’s Yelp destiny as an “intimate” “hipster” bar by putting in some old couches from Cloyne Court, serving Hamm’s, and having an in-house rare 45s soul DJ. Or you can continue it’s tradition of being the only spot with a rooftop bar and the butt of everyone’s transplant Marina douchebag jokes, despite never actually having been there (guilty, here!).

The owner, Gus Murad, also recently put the neighboring Giant Value dollar-and-up-store up for sale, but is hanging on to the New Mission Theater for now. Is this the end of an empire?

DocPop snapped this stunner of a shot this morning. Following the path of that ‘bow, I can surmise that the pot of gold is at Thieves Tavern. You heard it here first… just give us a cut, okay? If there’s no gold, at least you can cash in on that $5 Tall PBR + Jameson earlybird special, which is pretty much the same thing.

UPDATE: Oops, they might still be open. Keep trying.

Ti couz. Looked like a moving out yesterday.

Hope everybody had a chance to grab one last crepe and one last big salad.

Me? A couple Sundays ago, the free vegetarian food at Dalva was a crepe. It was a great crepe, but they ran out quick and I wanted another, so I left my beer on the counter and ran across the street to Ti Couz to get one to go. But they didn’t do to-go! So I went and got a slice at Arinell. Hindsight is 20-20 of course, but imagine if Ti Couz had offered takeout. Maybe they’d have sold me and Erika some crepes that day and maybe that bit of revenue would’ve kept them in business a little longer.

Local businesses, take note!
