Boozing, Blogging and Cheap Beautification

If you live in the Mission or are there a lot, you know 24th Street is the next big spot. First it was Divis, then Polk and now 24th Street is getting a gentrified, hipster makeover. Phat Philly has found a great home near Mission street, and I hear their
