Safari users get your feature on the Harrison Street tenant dispute here.  At some point we’re gong to work out the kinks to make our feature photo come alive on Safari as it does on Foxfire and others.

A reminder on today’s fundraiser for El Tecolote, the neighborhood’s oldest community neighborhood.  It’s at the Sunrise restaurant on 24th near Folsom.  Music, art and more.

There’s a neat photo essay on Mission District garage door art  here at EPA and around the Bay.

Meanwhile, SF Eater reports on rumors of a possible bowling alley for the Mission and Burrito Justice picks up the rumor and adds some old plans showing that at the turn of the last century there was a bowling alley in the Mission.  Check both out.

Actually, it sounds like a good idea.

SF Weekly points us to a new application the Random Taco Crawl Generator. And also reviews the Andy Vogt show, Sustained Decay,  at the Adobe Bookshop on 16th Street until August 16.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
