Police detained a group of young men Tuesday at around 5 p.m. for allegedly assaulting and attempting to rob a pedestrian near Angie’s Jewelry Store at 2386 Mission St . near 20th Street. It’s unclear how many men were arrested, but it appeared to be around five men.
The victim was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries at around 6:30 p.m.
The suspects allegedly assaulted the victim and then ran into the jewelry store, according to several businesses. A worker at the jewelry store said a couple of guys ran into his store. He thought they were customers until police surrounded the area and took the suspects into custody.
At least four police SUVs were parked on Mission Street. Pedestrians watched from the bus stop on the east side of the street as officers arrested several young men.
A community member standing outside of Milagros de Mexico, a store on the corner of where the alleged crime occurred, said he heard that a group of “bandits” attempted to assault a man and steal his neck chain. He and others estimated that five young men were arrested, but this could not be confirmed.
Police spoke with the alleged victim on the sidewalk, who seemed startled, but cooperative. Businesses in the area closed down shortly after the incident occurred.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.

Neil Ballard brightens 24th and Potrero with another mural

At the corner of 24th Street and Potrero Avenue is a Walgreens distinct from any other of the chain’s drugstores in San Francisco. The difference? A bright multi-colored 15-foot-tall mural that wraps around the exterior of the building. It features bright blue houses with dark shadows, thin trees in soft autumn colors and clear bright colorful skies — a Neil G. Ballard original. Ballard began his project, titled “Evening Trees,” on Sept. 3. He was inspired by the tall, skinny eucalyptus trees on the median strip of Potrero Avenue and the houses of the Mission District. “I want people to get a sense of joy and happiness from the colors on the wall,” Ballard said, referring to the juxtaposition of bright and dark colors.

Why is this Idaho high-mountain lake drying up? Sadly, it’s likely a familiar culprit
My friends and I optimistically but naively brought our fly fishing gear on a backpacking trip into the White Clouds at the end of September.We’ve been looking for more out-of-the-way places that might be a little farther from Boise, with maybe a little harder hike to get away from the madding crowds.Ocalkens Lakes seemed to fit the bill: The trailhead is about 27 miles east of Stanley, and the hike was about 4.5 miles, with a 2,000-foot elevation gain up to Ocalkens Lake #2 at 9,200 feet.Just what we were looking for.Until we got there.We were shocked and disappointed to find Ocalkens Lake #2 was nearly dry.Some water still sat a couple of inches deep, but we were able to walk across the muddy lake bed to the other side.Certainly no fishing there.We were able to find Ocalkens Lake #1 […]
