It’s 7 a.m., 50°, and will reach only 53°. Details are here.

Nice shots of Muni in the rain at Muni Diaries. The photos make the rain and Muni look attractive, even romantic.

Transportation Camp West came up with some new ideas, reports SF Streetsblog, including “an app that would help streamline the permit process for temporary street uses (think Park(ing) Day), as well as a ‘Friendly City’ app that would help nearby strangers engage in various ways.” Crowned as most promising was an app that would allow users to “virtually ‘graffiti’ walls through augmented reality.”

There’s much more here.

A look into the past and future of the Willows and the 18th Street Ravine is going on at Burrito Justice.

One more thought on rain, from Pablo Neruda’s “Book of Questions”: “In what language does rain fall over tormented cities?”

Founder/Executive Editor. 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.

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.
