It’s 7:02 a.m, 46° and going to 60°. Details are here.

Nice interview with Douglas McGray on Open Space. He’s the founder of Pop-Up Magazine, which got its start in the Mission and goes on tonight at SF MOMA, along with Meatpaper’s event.

Lacrouts-Lyonnaise French Laundry on 26th Street between Lilac and Capp is the latest local business to have to pay back wages because it paid too little. The laundry shorted workers $177,346, according to the Examiner.

We Built This City was inspired by Johnny O at Burrito Justice, who gave a talk this week on the history of Bernal at the library on Cortland. I wonder if he got them to sing the “Ballad of Revolutionary Glory”?

At any rate, We Built found this “awesome clickable map” that sorts the San Francisco Public Library’s historical photos by neighborhood. Click here to get to the map via We Built.

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.
