Notice from planning. This was in 2010 and significant because David Ireland's project at Capp Street began in the 1970s with a similar notice from the city.

Looks like it will soon be turned into a community space and museum.  Updates coming.

If you’d like to know more about Ireland, the conceptual artist who died in the summer of 2009 and used the house on Capp Street as a decades-long art project,  read this.

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.
