24th street is my favorite stein the mission, I currently live in the mission district. So I’m lucky! I just recently started a channel this week about life in San Francisco & I did a walking tour of 24th street and mission 😊 I love how vibrant it is!
Are any of you familiar with Dolores Park? That whole entire neighborhood back there is reputed to be HAUNTED... Cuz I used to attend Mission High School back in the 1990's, and both me and my fellow classmates (plus a few teachers and staff) have all seen a ghost there on the 4th floor... The ghost is that of a former teacher or student who usually appears to students who are in their Senior year or to janitors working there late at night. There are like some supply rooms and a few old disused classrooms or workshops on the 4th floor that were closed off while I was attending there back then. From the best of my memory; it appeared to look like a semi-transparent female figure of short stature, dressed in winter attire (a red and white Christmas-patterned sweater and brown bell-bottom corduroy pants), and sports a bowl-shaped pageboy hairstyle, holding a binder against her chest. She looked like someone from right out of the late 1960's or early 1970's. We couldn't quite see her face cuz she had her head down (as if she was in despair) and all her hair was covering it. This was during our lunch break period at noon, and we had noticed her standing down the hallway for quite some time. What's odd was that she was standing at the opposite end of the hallway from us, right by the stairway and away from the big glass windows that allowed for the sunlight to shine through on the 4th floor. She didn't move or even say a thing, and just stood there that whole time while we were there. It didn't strike us that she was a GHOST, until we had made our way back down to the ground floor by the courtyard area. And when we finally DID realize what we had just saw; we grew pale in the face, hauled our asses right outta there and ran all the way back to our classroom at like TWIN-TURBO SPEED!!! There are rumored to be ghosts also in the gym areas and even the locker/shower rooms as well, but I'm not gonna get into all that spooky shit. I heard that the school was built right over an Indian cemetery. Early builders who worked on building the school way back then, have even discovered the bones of Native Americans!
@@WALDENSOFTWARE From what I could research: The Spanish originally colonized the coastline with 21 California missions -- Mission District was the area surrounding the 1776 Mission San Francisco De Asis (what we now call Mission Delores). For the period in which California was technically Mexico, this area was mainly ranch land owned by Mexicans and not part of Buena Vista (town center after the mission lost prominence). However, when California seceded (1848) and the whole area became San Francisco (1850), a lot of the immigrants including Irish, Germans, and Polish were pushed into the area because the land was cheap. Then during the 1940s-60s there was a new wave of immigration from Mexican & Central American new immigrants so it became pre-dominantly hispanic again. I don't think the Irish "left" so much as dwindled out since the immigration out of Europe declined.
Nice video the culture in the mission is great. But you just barely,barely covered the great food places. Like la Palma and my favorite taqueria that’s Katty corner from Tartine.
I broke out the eatz (Best Mexican) in a separate video. There are so many great places to eat though I definitely end up covering at least one Mission establishment in each one of my food videos. :)
Lol, it also welcomed a diverse community including women... 3:13 I'm more interested how a population existed before they welcomed women. I don't see that lasting very long.
The more I think about it the more curious I become of this population of no women. I'd have to imagine that they would be pretty sexually progressive as well.
Lol! Ok ya got me 🤪 -- I'm talking about the women's rights movement (aka feminists) who set up in the Mission for it's more progressive environment. Although a community of just men definitely exists...I mean, Smurfs!!
Something to note about the Mission is that it wasn't always a Latino neighborhood, and it's not accurate to say that the Mexicans stayed after California was taken over, actually the Mission was sparsely populated and was mostly poor Irish immigrants until the 1906 earthquake, when it became a more commercial area due to displaced businesses relocating there. It wasn't until the 40s-60s that it became a Latino neighborhood, and that was because the local white population vacated the area as Latino immigrants started arriving... :/The Mission has gone through many demographics shifts, but it's more diverse now than it ever was historically.
You think it's a new thing? Study Medieval history, the main issue is it's more to do with business and people with money. Poor people don't tend to get those rights in white Christian countries. Wheras elsewhere in the world it's often a matriarchy not a patriarchy.
@@LeesChannel Why did they vacate tho? Just because latinos started arriving? Thay's not a reason is it? Or were they that unpleasant that it would force you out of your neighborhood?? Latinos vacated because of the rise of rent costs and the lack of middle class jobs.
Great video. Tks
👍
La Taqueria's Carnitas burrito is to freaking die for! I used to eat at their San Jose location about once per week until it shut down.
So good! 😋 I didn't realize they had a location in SJ but nice to know.
@@ZeeneInRealLife It's long gone now.
Oh bummer :(
Awesome

I went to SF a few days back and thanks to this video I found La Taqueria, It was really crowded but the service was fast. The burrito was good.
Awesome!

Originally the Mission was an Irish Catholic neighborhood. It was "vibrant" then also!
👍 Thanks! Good bit of history to know...
So the Irish founded the Mission district or were they just the first to inhabit it? Why did they leave?
