For Safari users, here’s your link to the latest on the Mexican Museum.

Burrito Justice has some amazing photographs and clicks to old street car routes and a promise: to link it all back to bowling. Remember those rumors about a new bowling alley and poof that an old one once existed in the Mission?  Stay tuned for more.

Trash? Mission Mission’s got it.

And better than trash, the Food Dude here reviewing The Sandwich Place on Mission St. between 16th and 17th.  Would you actually order a sandwich from a guy named Juan Gutierrez?  My guess is that we’re doing it all the time, but  wow, the sandwiches.  They look as thick as Mr. Pickles and make me want pastrami.  Probably has Armand thinking that the Food Dude got the better embed. Keep your crew in the Mission!

Other camera’s in the Mission?  Jeremiah Maller sets up his  at Hoff and 17th and asks those who walk by if they want to face his lens with a mean or serious face. Here are some results.

The San Francisco General Hospital Foundation passed this along: Anyone interested in applying to be one of the 2010 artists in the Heroes and Hearts competition must complete an application and submit a full-color design rendering (8.5”x11” or larger) on or before Monday, August 10, 2009.

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/executive 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.
