Mission Mission

In celebration of and in donation to Food Not Bomb’s commitment to vegetarian food for the masses, Mission Street Food is serving a homage to pork!

Vegansaurus! savages them and their charitable givings in the commentary.

Yeah, cyclocross is definitely going to be the next “in” thing around this part of town.  I cannot wait for the underground ‘cross races to start in Dolores.  (Video)

Impressive feat of strength.

Just spotted this on that big empty near Philz on 24th that is always covered in shitty tags.  Looks like the city is initiating a new project Art in Store Fronts to spice up empty storefronts, something that I probably would have heard about a couple of months ago if I actually read the news.  Anyways, in this case, you can leave questions for a fortuneteller to answer.  Brilliant stuff like:

q: #1 If I masturbate, am I still a virgin?
#2 Can I ask another question?
a: No, you cannot ask a second question?

q: What will I get for Christmas?
a: You will probably get drunk.

q: Will I grow up?
a: You don’t grow up, you throw up.  And then your mama comes around the corner and shit licks it up.

q: ¿Cómo se dice corn?
a: Maíz

Somerville, MA:  I never spent much time there when I lived in Boston, but it is sort of a dystopian Mission District.  Baby strollers and dogs mixed with white kids in flannel drinking tallboys.  That said, they have some pretty epic street art, especially from one guy “on walls.”  Enjoy.

Crab Happens

Capp @ 19th.  Seriously, this is some sad shit.  The clueless thing is propped up on a compost bin just running around in his wheel.

A while ago Kevin wrote about the new frozen yogurt place on 22nd Street near Valencia, Yotopia. That post generated some interest. (remember Zinzin? Where did he go? Is he using a different name here now?)

I stopped in last week to sample some flavors and chat with the owner, George. Their flavors change every week. The night I was there they had peach, banana, peanut butter and plain.  All the yogurt is made with Strauss organic milk, (because they’re “local and high quality”) and it has an interesting texture to it. A bit gritty. George says this is because they use milk, not powder. He says this is what it would taste like if you froze your own yogurt.

Speaking of George, who declined to provide a last name, he’s been in the area for 35 years. He used to own the Majestic Market, serving former San Quentin cons back in the 60′s and 70′s. He had been thinking about a frozen yogurt shop, and when the space opened up he decided to give it a shot. The store is family run and he’s willing to stay open late if the people want it.

Anyway, I don’t really have much to say in terms of the flavor or quality, I don’t eat very much dairy. I asked George if he had considered dairy-free fro-yo. He said he’s thinking about trying a coconut milk version. You can read what other people think on Yelp.

Laura peeped this on Mission St between 17th and 18th.  Sounds hot.

Say what?

Luna Park has lost it.  You’ve gotta be CRAZY to give out deals this good!  And IN THIS ECONOMY!  EVERYTHING MUST GO!  Dine, NOW!  Before they change their minds!

Hush.  Thanks for the tip, Vegansaurus!
