Mission Mission

Busted up sports trophies were strewn all up and down a section of York Street last night. It was not a pretty sight.

Once upon a time, 1999 seemed like the distant future. Now it’s ancient history.

Exactly.

The 49 Van Ness-Mission seems to have plowed into a bus shelter. The tip and photos come from reader Blake via his friend Renna’s Facebook page. He says “One comment reminded that this is yet another reason to not eat at Farolito. Truth.”

Yikes. Anyone else see this? Hoping nobody was hurt.

(thanks, Blake!)

UPDATE: Commenter “Mulch” says “I was on the bus. No injuries. I talked to a guy who had just got up from the shelter. He said the bus just suddenly swerved into the curb. It also hit the light post right in front of it.”

More updates in the comments, including the guy from the shelter.

Fox Reno reports:

A 20-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries in a shooting in San Francisco’s Mission Dolores neighborhood on Friday night, one of two that occurred that night.

The shooting was reported at 10:58 p.m. Friday at the intersection of 20th and Dolores streets, San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield said.

The victim was standing on a corner of the intersection when a suspect approached and shot him multiple times before fleeing on foot, Dangerfield said.

Be a good neighbor and see what you can do to help out.

Thanks Beth!

Spots Unknown is working on a movie about a group of vets and enthusiasts who’ve restored to “combat specs” a Vietnam-era Huey. And they fly it around the Bay Area and look badass.

Today, a teaser trailer was released. It combines shots of these dudes in action with vintage footage of other Hueys actually in the shit. Watch it now (before it gets pulled due to unauthorized — but also badass — use of Led Zeppelin):

I’m pretty sure SFist editor Brock Keeling said all that needs to be said:

Exactly what is S.F. Bike Party, you ask? Let’s see: SFBP is new and meant “for all riders of different ages, types, and skill levels to enjoy.” They “encourage people to bring positivity and contribute to good times while being respectful to others.” They “follow planned routes along the way.” And, best of all, they urge you to “dance and socialize along the way.”

What fun. Think of it as Critical Mass’ younger, more controlled sister who likes to karaoke after a glass of Chardonnay. She’s a total stitch, but won’t get you into too much trouble. The perfect way to start your commitment to cycling more in 2011.

Perfecto! See you there!
