My Neighborhoods photo collaboration project, week 18. This is The Mission District.
The Mission District, also commonly called "The Mission", is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California, USA, named after the sixth Alta California mission, Mission San Francisco de Asis. The area occupies land previously divided into ranchos owned by Spanish-Mexican families such as the Valencianos, Guerreros, Dolores, Bernals, Noes and De Haros.
The Roxie is one of the few remaining small cinemas remaining in San Francisco. Their mission statement is:
"The Roxie New College Film Center is the San Francisco Bay Area’s most provocative arthouse cinema, and a dynamic learning venue for New College of California media studies students. Through exhibition of diverse films, film festivals and special events, the Center seeks to be the premiere community resource and venue for San Francisco’s diverse Bay Area film community, and a model for the future of independent film exhibition in the United States."

The San Francisco de Asís cemetery, which adjoins the property on the south side, was originally much larger than its present boundaries, running west almost to Church Street and north into what is today 16th Street. It was reduced in various stages, starting with the extension of 16th Street through the former Mission grounds in 1889, and later by the construction of the Mission Dolores Basilica Center and the Chancery Building of the Archdiocese of San Francisco in the 1950s. Some remains were reburied on-site in a mass grave, while others were relocated to various Bay Area cemeteries. Today, most of the former cemetery grounds are covered by a paved playground behind the Mission Dolores School. The cemetery that currently remains underwent a careful restoration in the mid-1990s.
This is one of the two cemeteries located within the city of San Francisco.

There are many spots in The Mission known for graffiti and murals. The alleyways between Mission and Valencia are full of graffiti, and always interesting to shoot.
