Change is good. Usually. The changes taking place in the
Mission District are quite fast and dramatic. Every day we can see more and
more beautifully renovated homes like the ones below.
Grocery stores as the one below are still relatively easy to
find.
New ethnic groups bring cultural and culinary diversity.
There are Vietnamese restaurants next to restaurants offering authentic Mexican
food and restaurants offering Indian and Pakistani food, such as Pakwan.
Fritz, a Belgian Waffle place is another good example. Not
only does it add to the desired variety but its decoration provides eye-candy.
Both, the food and decoration are the brain child of the owner and mosaic
artist, Santiago. Check it out!
Craftsmen & Wolves and next to it Dandelion Chocolate
are part of the change.
Every now and then we still can see the Old Mission. Or is
it also new (7 up and not a can of beer in a brown bag)?
But what happens if everything changes and there is nothing
more to change? Or if the change will eliminate those behind its character?
Will we get used to the new Mission and forget the old one? Or will we be missing something?
