Mission mission reports on a surge in police ticketing at Dolores Park.

And the food nut reviews El Faralito, which increasingly has lines out the door.

The SF Weekly reports that a new chef at Bar Tartine’s will begin serving a more heavily California menu as of Tuesday night.

Remember when the world was obsessed with movies? or even television? And now, it’s food–all the time.

Well, there’s art too and the SF Chron reminds us that the Mission District is one big public art project.

So enjoy it all as you walk around this weekend–yep, eating.

But, before you do, if you would be so kind as to put us out of our misery and Spot.us and get us to $0. It’s got to the the world’s worst video plea. My brothers would say it’s Cruella de Vil with her hand out. Ah well, maybe time to fix it all once the pledges are filled.

Hasta mañana, Viola.

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/executive 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.
