Mission Pie, a San Francisco Mission District pie shop works with local farms and locals to maintain a great place to go for tasty treats and a safe, welcoming hang spot.
In the past couple years, Mission Pie has relocated and renovated the shop with the help of Logan Design & Construction, a local design and build company. Together the folks at LDC and MP reinvented the look and feel of the shop, incorporated reclaimed materials throughout and brought it to out to the corner of 25th and Mission.
Renovation refers to the restoration and invigoration of something; that something could be a building, a business, a life, a city or a community.
After its structural and cosmetic renovation, Mission Pie is open for business in its new location, and while it has been so for some time now, the community, the shop workers and the builders got together to celebrate it.
Celebration brings folks together, invites and encourages community and is otherwise generally good. I like it.
In addition to celebrating the reopening, the crowd celebrated the mission of Mission Pie, to productively and creatively reinvest in the quality of their ingredients and equipment, as well as in the lives of the people in their community.
The shop planted a sidewalk garden, inaugurated a mural and offered live music along with free fresh fruits, vegetables and delicious punch and tea. All around it was a great weekend on the corner of 25th and Mission.
I had a great time tasting the goodies, and meeting and chatting with the crew of both LDC and Mission Pie. The place looks amazing, the food is always great and what they do for their community is invaluable.
Check out Mission Pie's website to learn more about the farms that supply their goods, their goals of sustainability, and their policies of youth advocacy, and by all means, if you are in the area do stop in, you really should eat more pie!
