Being slightly outside of the true uHood, I did not realize the MCM
was off. But good news: it is back on!

Los Jueves. 4-8 pm. Get your fresh fruits and veggies. They’re good for you.

I believe we all by now have passed by the Planned Parenthood
protesters of our dear uHood. The protest was apparently part of
something called 40 Days for Life, which “calls on the religious to
spend Lent either fasting, praying or demonstrating against abortion.”

Seems like the protests ended last Sunday, but not before being bid
adieu by a counter protest. Sadly, I missed the whole thing.

But I did find a little article about them in Mission Loc@l.

Can’t say I’ll miss them…

uHooders:

Hot cross buns this afternoon – check in if you’re around. You’ll want
to get them hot out of the oven!

Wow! Cesar Chavez between Valencia and Guerrero ranks 7th on the most
dangerous blocks in the Mission.

This surprises me…

The other dangerous blocks are pretty expected.

Looks like the fire last week got the best of Lotus Garden. Blue Plate
and Los Panchos are still open. El Rio had a fund-raiser for some of
the now homeless tenants. Still no word on the cause of the fire.

Not many details but here are some follow-up articles:

A fire in the heart of Le Lengua.  I haven't actually been down to investigate this fire but the amount of residential fires in the uHood is really starting to freak me out.  I can think of three other bad ones since I have lived here (counting the one next to Lisa's building).
