    I think a skate park gets you instant Mission Membership.

    I like “The Stub” — kind of the opposite of La Lengua!

    Or about “La Culata”? Culata = butt of a gun, butt is opposite the tongue, sort of. (I think tail is ‘cola’ but that doesn’t sound nearly as interesting.)

    south side of Mission St., 16th – 19th Streets, should be called “Mental Ward.” and the inmates are running the asylum!

    I live by Harrison and Mariposa. Heard some people call it NEMIZ. NorthEast Mission Industrial Zone. True or made up?

    I’m at 26th and Guerrero. We call it The Envy or L’Envy for meaning “East Noe Valley.” Cool, right:)

    I live at 26th and York. I refer to it as the suburbs of the Mission.

    16th & S. Van Ness and surrounding block = “The Litterbox”

    Shouldn’t Dolores Park be split the other way? i.e. Gay Beach ought to be part of the Mastro and Hipster Slope/Hill ought to be part of Hipster Valencia.

    Er, isn’t GB on the western edge, and hipster beach on the southern edge?

    Though a J-curve that hugged the southern edge for a bit, rather than a straight SW-NE line, would probably be more appropriate.

    18th St. Between Dolores and Guerrero is the Bi-Reich.
    Storefront after storefront is engulfed locally, sustainably and organically.
    Bi-Rite Condiment Emporium coming in Fall 2010. Start waiting in line now.

    “Bi-Reich” is hot. Very hot. Going to tag that on Tartine somewhere.
    Hand on heart….i love this ‘hood.
