Welcome to June! It is 7 a.m, 54° and headed to 67° and it looks good for the next 10 days. Our brief period of a normal SF summer seems to be turning into more of an L.A. summer. Details for the next ten days are here.

You definitely have to keep your eye on one neighborhood at a time, but The Bold Italic has a very cool data visualization of rents in a handful of SF neighborhoods.

I’ve sort of had it with mimes but Burrito Justice has one on District Supervisor David Campos and Calle 24’s annexation of Precita Park that is very funny. 

And SF Eater reports that Alexander Alioto will be coming in the 3,700 square foot spot once filled by Another Monkey/Conduit on Valencia at 14th.

The Mission Local crew went up to the Pizza Hacker on Thursday evening where Mario, one of our interns from SF International High School informed me that his favorite thing to do was to sleep.

The pizza, by the way,  was terrific. Perfect? Stay tuned for Friday’s post.

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. 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.
