Sadly, we were unable to attend yesterday's community meeting about the plans to convert New Mission Theater into a boozy, 5-screen/900-seat Alamo Drafthouse. However, the Mission Local folks made it over there and took a bunch of photos of all the beautiful graffiti inside the joint (just look at that bird and tree!), which is pretty much the only thing we were interested in checking out in the first place. Do take a further look.

Ugh… “all the beautiful graffiti inside the joint (just look at that bird and tree!), which is pretty much the only thing we were interested in checking out in the first place”.
ugh.
Beautiful building, a shame about the terrible graffiti and associated vandalism from the hipster douchetards that broke in a few years ago, though.
The plans for the restoration seem as sympathetic to the original form and function of the building as possible to maintain financial viability. I’m really excited about this.
this place looks like it’s going to be gorgeous once it’s cleaned up. can’t wait to have a speakeasy theater in the hood.
I’m so upset about all this graffiti that I would have never seen without faithfully following this blog!
Now please excuse me while I go shit into my own mouth, which also gives me a reassuringly angry sensation.
