SF Weekly has some graffiti shots from our neighbors in Potrero.  Dunno, I think the second one down says Joy Drive the last letter being a guy at the wheel.  Or Toy Drive?

Boy, if it’s not one governor trying to take the bite out of home health care, it’s another official in Washington.  The NYT has a post on the Health Care bill’s cutbacks in Medicare payments to home health care providers.  We wrote about this back in the summer and the legislature is still trying to take bites at it.  As it turns out, San Francisco has the second highest number of health care providers in the state so it’s something to keep an eye on.

In better news,  Mission Loc@l launches it’s new comic strip today by Rio Yañez.

And in not-so-good news statewide, Heather Duthie writes about the insolvent recycling program.

MuniDiaries has a final farewell photo to all of the buses that will no longer be running in the city. And if you didn’t catch the farewell to our own 26-Valencia, here is the link.

Enjoy the day and all of the craft fairs. We plan to do some shopping ourselves.

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.
