The big day has arrived! Thanks Burrito Justice for helping spread the word about our photo show and silent auction tonight at L’s Caffe! Armand really needs some shoes. And we all want to meet you and celebrate with you. So come on down to 24th and Bryant streets and meet the people behind the bylines and photos you’ve seen on Mission Loc@l.

In food news, SFEater reports that a new coffeehouse will be opening at 24th and Folsom soon. Photos show an industrial-looking place that ressembles the Four Barrel and Ritual spaces.

And more San Francisco Chronicles layoffs?

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.
