Hey Loco Buy Local

This past weekend on the 24th & Capp parking lot (known as the MacDonalds lot, but better known as the site of one of the dopest murals depicting peoples in the struggle for a better mundo) local mom & pop merchants were out selling t-shirts, native crafts, mexican silver jewelry and all this other fresh stuff from throughout the americas. Up & coming merchants group MISBA (Mission Small Business Association)led by immigrant & indigenous merchants have been doing it real nice holding monthly events highlighting the one of a kind artisenias, crafts, jewelry and clothing offered in La Mision.

Be sure to drop some monedas this weekend (Feb 16 & 17) cause the MISBA crew will be out on the 24th & 16th Street BART plazas.

Cant Stop Wont Stop! MISBA members, with the support of Mission Economic Development Association, have also been working on legislation and gathering hundreds of signatures to limit the number of chain stores that can impact the Mission District. There was a hearing today at the much hated on Planning Commission- no friend to community- we'll be sure to get some updates over the next few days.
