				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something is happening in the <a href="/2009/02/03/grand-arbiter-of-scum/" target="_blank">Un-American Apparel</a> space at 988 Valencia.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/blue-fig1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14380" title="blue fig" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/blue-fig1.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="auto" /></a></p>
<p>Mission Mission agents took this shot at a distance as not to arouse suspicion. Applying CSI style zoom:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/blue-fig-zoom.jpg"><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/blue-fig-zoom1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14386" title="blue fig zoom" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/blue-fig-zoom1.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="auto" /></a></a></p>
<p>Blue Fig? Hmm.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=blue+fig" target="_blank">Nothing on Google</a> (though it certainly seems to be a popular restaurant/hooka name in Ohio). Lots of permit activity at 988 Valencia via SFGov that closed on 4/23, but no specifics other than &#8220;Retail Sales&#8221;.</p>
<p>Blue is certainly becoming a popular prefix for Mission establishments: Blue Plate, Blue Macaw, Blue Fig. And there&#8217;s the blue <a href="/2009/04/09/meet-your-mission-cycling-club/" target="_blank">Mission Cycling</a> jerseys:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/screenhunter_28-apr-09-1125.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3781" title="mission blue cycle jersey" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/screenhunter_28-apr-09-1125.jpg" alt="" width="157" height="203" /></a></p>
<p>And the Mission Blue butterfly, which is <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=resources/lifestyle_community/green&amp;id=7427214" target="_blank">making   a comeback</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionblueproject.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14376" title="Mission Blue male opening his wings" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/mission-blue-male-opening-his-wings.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>However, this is in direct conflict with Mission history, specifically the <a href="/2008/11/25/mission-baseball/" target="_blank">Mission Reds</a>, who 80 years ago played ball <a href="/2010/02/11/rec-park-then-and-now/" target="_blank">a half dozen blocks away at Rec Park</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1934-mission-reds.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11306" title="1934 Mission Reds" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1934-mission-reds.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="auto" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mission-cap.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1860" title="mission-cap" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mission-cap.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="170" /></a><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mission-jersey.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1861" title="mission-jersey" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mission-jersey.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="231" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://burritojustice.com/2010/02/10/yesterdays-baseball-is-tomorrows-safeway/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11404" title="1923-2007 Recreation Park, 15th and Valencia" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1923-2007-recreation-park-15th-and-valencia.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="auto" /></a></p>
<p>Do we require a series of red-themed establishments to keep things in balance? Or are the megaliters of tomato sauce and salsa consumed daily in pizzerias and taquerias mean we need more blue?</p>
