Newspapers love to make a big deal of their own demise. (Hey, that’s one story that’s cheap to report.) Thing is, in a story by the Chronicle about the Chronicle‘s doom, most of the sources are internal. The editors were apparently too distracted, for obvious reasons, to point out what voice is missing from that story. The readers. What’s missing from the comments section? The nonreaders. So to find out what the plebe thinks of the fourth estate, Mission Loc@l is asking you, readers and nonreaders of the Chron, to vote in our new homepage poll, which we’ll call, “Who gives a s**t anyways?”
A new poll means results are in from the Great Burrito Showdown. Final tally, out of 328 votes:
El Farolito – 84
Taqueria Cancun – 68
Taqueria San Francisco – 25
El Faro – 7 (with a margin of error of 7, for those who confused Faro with Farolito)
But more of you told us that we left out your favorite joint (103 votes)! Aha, so the Great Burrito Showdown is not over. It’s like a bottomless foil-wrapped 3 a.m. dinner that keeps on giving. Mission Loc@l sincerely apologizes for our omission. Please tell us what it is so we can acknowledge the mistake and determine, once and for all, who makes the best burrito in the Mission.
Looking for something, as Brazilians would say, muito fabuloso, to do Friday night? Look no farther than Bollyhood Cafe, hosting a “recession-fighting, stimulus-building” benefit for the ODC’s Carnival contingent. Featuring the Mission Cultural Center’s youth Latin dance band, Futuro Picante and a special performance by Maimouna. Wha-wha??
