Mission Mission

Is like a Bike without a Wheel.

Is like a Shoe without a Foot.

After a bullet found its way into a cop’s foot this weekend. It’s unclear to what extent their suspension shuts them down. Differing reports.

Helena had the presence of mind on this gorgeous summer Sunday to do it with Limoncello, but I can’t wait to also try it with simpler things like whiskey or rum or maybe a flaming marg. Good work, Helena!

I’m not sure whether this was an art piece or just a guy hauling produce, but it was the highlight of my Sunday Streets. Except for the Ferocious Few show of course.

I found myself mesmerized by the smushed rat my friend Heather pointed out in front of my house.  I think it’s the way he’s managed to say goodbye to the world with his one final act.  See you later, little guy.

At the risk of moving up several notches on the vegansaurus death list, more (close-up) photos of the poor little dude after the jump . . .

(more…)

Now those are some serious closures! Have fun, everyone!

See the official Sunday Streets website for all the details.

We previously linked to Mr. Eric Sir’s post about the street art put up on this boarded up storefront. Well, now the owners of the building (I assume) took down the plywood and OSB from the front of their store, but seemed interested in saving the art put up on the wall, selecting key pieces and setting them up just inside the windows. Vandalism becomes window display!

Sorry, MacGruber ads, but the street art stays. “This movie’s about to bomb! Quick, hand me the wheatpaste!”

Safety is cool.

Updated from this.

Mission Local reports that the proposal was shut down. The entire SF Mime Troupe showed up at the Board of Supervisors meeting apparently.

Andy over at SF Weekly is apparently a pretty great cartoonist. Her brand-new Dolores Park Bingo will be a fun way to pass the time tomorrow afternoon (even if a tad too easy).
