Busy day, so in case you’re not scrolling down on our home page, here’s a link to our story on Bars and the No Smoking regulations. You guessed it, the bars don’t like it, but you can hear owners struggling with what they know and what they want.
And, Rigoberto Hernandez covered last night’s hearing on immigrants and Muni. Odd, Muni representatives failed to make the hearing.
Click the links above because the link at the end of this only leads to a repeat. Thanks!
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.
