Damn, a telemarketer woke me up. Don't worry, I promise not to rant like that again.

But Sighmoan... the Mission is probably the place _least_ like that article in all of SF. I mean, the Mission is pretty big, but if you're anywhere near the Market-Cesar Chavez-Folsom-Duboce quadrangle you're within easy walking distance of a truly astounding multi-ethnic array of restaurants, coffeehouses, bookstores, performance spaces, small clubs, bars, small weird shops, and, uh, people. Open late, too, with good transit.

Honestly, if that kind of stuff isn't what you're looking for I'd be interested to know what you do want. Saying that non-hostilely, because I genuinely don't understand.
