It’s 7 a.m., 53°, and wow, going to 72°. Details are here.

Good piece online-only at the NYT: “The Future of Manufacturing is Local.”

If you’re wondering what’s actually made in San Francisco, try following SFMade Week, May 21 to 27, sponsored by SFMade.

Meanwhile, our hometown SFMTA service on the J-Church and 14-Mission are not faring so well, according to a hearing report from SFist.

A reminder from a thirsty reader about the chicharron de pollo and other goodies at Limon. It’s been too long.

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.
