NOTE: the Batch of 200 cupcakes goes quickly so arrive early

UPDATE: 2:30 Have you heard of cupcake Wednesday? Jasmine de Lung a Mission District resident who owns Jasmine Rae bakery’s in the Mission offers a limited amount of cupcakes for a $1 every Wednesday at 2:00. Local neighbors and workers have begun organizing their day around buying the cupcakes. The location of the warehouse in San Francisco’s Mission District where the cupcakes are sold  has been kept as a fun secret but just a hint you dont have to look far to figure it out.

Safari users, here’s your link to today’s feature on a second victim at the liquor store shooting.

SFeater caught a whole new Tonayense taco truck. Is this the future?

And Mission Mission has the 411 on a 49 bus rider who gets his wallet stolen right out of his hand. And in not so good news for liberal SF and the Mission has the most liberal, we’re also apparently mean, according to a story on SF Gate.

It’s something I’ve been thinking about–the homeless people we pass by every day, maybe give some food to, mostly ignore. What does that say about us? Maybe a topic for Philosophy Talk that will host two live shows at the Marsh on Sunday.

Good pic yesterday when Rigo Hernandez spotted Chronicle staff writer Jaxon Van Derbeken on a visit to  the Mission. 

Jaxon was wearing a bullet proof vest while doing a walk along with  SFPD. Reminded me of the Wes Enzinna profile of a bike cop here.

Okay, updates later.

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.
