It is 7 a.m, 50° and headed to 68°. Details for the next ten days are here.

Happy Easter!

There’s an Easter Egg hunt for adults at Good Vibrations today.  I don’t see any for kids in the Mission, but I expect plenty of families will be out in Dolores and Garfield Park hiding endless eggs for repeated hunts.

Remember that the Hunky Jesus contest is in Golden Gate Park, previews from previous years are here. 

The Financial Times  profiles the Irish brothers, and Mission residents,  behind the start-up Stripe.

Note,  there will be more in the news about the Board of Supervisors efforts to get a ballot initiative on taxing sugary sodas.

While San Francisco consider this,  is interesting to note that Richmond across the bay has already put it on the ballot and Mexico, fighting obesity,  has already approved its own tax on sugary sodas.  

And for anyone planting their garden, Grist reports that the University of Wisconsin has released 29 seeds with open sourced licenses.  

Enjoy the day!

Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. 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 there.

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.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.
