18th Street Zoltron art wall
Zoltron has covered a plywood wall on the long-boarded up space on 18th and Dolores. Eventually this space will become the new home of Bi-Rite’s 18 Reasons, but for now it’s livening up the Mission’s “Gourmet Ghetto.” Update: It’s a collaborative, spontaneous art piece.

Skull store dies
Martin’s Emporium, aka the weird skull store on 16th and Dolores, now has a closing date: July 31st.

Venga Empanadas
A new empanadas joint is opening soon on Valencia. Well that’s not entirely true; it’s not really new. See, Venga Empanadas didn’t have a place to call home until now. The Valencia location will be their first real storefront. The location may prove fiercely competitive. Many other places nearby are selling empanadas: the well-established Chile…
