Crime First
Starting things off with the serious stuff: the man who was arrested last month after the sexual assault of a teenage girl in Garfield Park also faces charges from an earlier rape on a woman in the same area, the Chronicle reports.
Meanwhile KGO reports that police also arrested a 56-year-old homeless man for alleged arson at an 18th Street apartment last week.
Truly the Coolest Map Ever
Via Burrito Justice, the data wizards over at Stamen Design have created a Flash map called “Trulia Hindsight.” Watch the progression of housing construction over time, and see when most of your neighborhood was built. Hey guess when most of the Mission was built?
The “T” stands for “Twitter”
Hey everyone, Muni’s finally on Twitter! They’re even holding contests, and guess what the first one was? “Guess how much money we lost from the state,” as Vic Wong points out over at Mission Mission. Now if only the individual lines could tweet as well.
But you don’t have to DM them, you can tell Muni what you think tomorrow at a town hall meeting, according to Muni Diaries. 10am – noon, 1 South Van Ness Avenue, 2nd Floor Atrium. Check out all the upcoming town hall meetings on the MTA’s website here.
Spicy Night
With explosive pepper szechuan tater tots, jerk albacore charashi and salt and pepper CRAWFISH, tonight’s Mission Street Food menu looks tops, at least if you like spicy food. (yes.)
Papalote Goes Pinoy
Also in foodie news tomorrow, Papalote’s once again teasing us with a mere day of their special chicken adobo and garlic fried rice burritos, but at the Fulton Street location (sad face) according to SFoodie. Oh, and either call ahead or bring a friend or a book, the We Eating video featured in the post isn’t lying about the crowds.
Dolores Park Dogs
Kevin Montgomery of Uptown Almanac digs up this little treasure. Oh, the potential.
Also today is Beer 2 Brakers! See you there!
