It’s 7 a.m., 56° and we’re headed for — what — 72°. Details are here.

The third Monday evening BART protest (following those on July 11 and Aug. 15) brought out about 200 protesters, who were angrier than the last time around, and more, by about 50.

You can see our update and get links to our coverage throughout the evening here. By the end of the evening, Helene Goupil, one of our reporters on the scene, had been rescued from arrest, and everyone returned to the office to work and eat bread and cheese for dinner. Such is life at Mission Loc@l.

Say it ain’t so, Caleb: Moving the Street Food Festival to Mission Bay, as the SF Weekly reports?

After such thoughts, here is the wonderful mind of Burrito Justice.

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.
