3.0

Take a tour of many locations in the Mission that non longer exist nine years later as the city continues to devour its own tail, though most of the bars, taquerias, and murals are still there. Complaints about hipsters that you no longer hear, now that techie gentrification is in full swing*. The best part is probably the brief history of the murals in the Mission, near the end of the book, along with a one page primer on how they are made from conception to final coat of protective glaze.

* - remember the whole "Marina vs Mission" thing? Been a while since I've heard that specific neighborhood trash talk, probably due to more money flowing into Mission real estate
