Mission Holiday Block Party

As if I were ever far from the Mission on a Friday night, the second Mission Holiday Block Party is a good excuse to make one’s way between Market and 24th this weekend. Businesses from the Curiosity Shoppe, Ritual Roasters and Dog-Eared Books (where I just purchased a copy of “San Francisco Panorama,” a broadsheet published by their neighbor 826 Valencia) will be providing snacks and sales from 5 to 10 PM–and they all deserve the consumer love given the recent tearing up of Valencia St. This season’s raffle beneficiary is the local economic self-sufficiency organization Tipping Point Community, and more details on the night’s plans can be found on FuncheapSF.
