The section of Mission Street between 15th and 17th streets is one of the less palatable sections of the
Mission District , home to a certain amount of hard drug dealing and prostitution. Such activities are highly localized to a few streets, generally non-threatening to passers-by and usually considered only an annoyance by residents, although petty theft is not uncommon overnight from parked cars and visitors should apply common sense when walking the area late at night.Every Thursday from 9:30pm to Midnight, there is a free, completely democratic open mic held at 16th & Mission - the event has been happening there for over five years and features a variety of poets, musicians, MCs, comedians and performers. It is one of the more unique features of this BART stop; you can find more information at: 16thmission.comee also
