It’s 7:21, 53 ° going up to 61 ° and somehow it feels like it will be warmer – at least in the Mission!

SF Weekly has those photos for you.
The arrival of the private patios. Two restaurants on Valencia Street – so far – are taking advantage of the new and wider sidewalk.
Cafe Luna and Fritz’s had their out door diners. See photos at the full post.
Check back later in the day for even more photos of Carnaval.
Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. 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 there.
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.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.
