What's Going On Here, Katz Bagels?

No, no, no.

No.

Why is this coming down? See, frequent SFist commenter Plumpy (Michael Plump) just sent in this harrowing image, showing the Mission's Katz Bagels big, fake bagel/alien spacecraft being removed this afternoon. In graphic detail Plumpy reports from the scene at 16th Street today.

The gigantic bagel above Katz (yummy) Bagels & (nasty) Pizza came down today. I'm not sure why because the workers were ignoring repeated shouted questions from the small crowd. Instead, they were focusing their efforts on, you know, loading a giant fucking bagel into a pickup truck. I'm an optimist, so I'm just going to assume they're, uh, refurbishing it. Or whatever the term is for cleaning up a over-sized food product.

So. Um. They're just cleaning it, right? Right?! Really, what's happening to all of the signage in the Mission

Update: We attempted to call Katz Bagels, only to be greeted with a phone-disconnection voice recording.
