Happy windy Mothers Day! This mother overslept, so it’s nearly 9,
54° and going to 58°. Details are here.
In two hours, the streets of the Mission will be full of windswept bikers, walkers and folks on other wheels at Sunday Streets.
This bike got taken at 23rd and Mission. See if you can help.
And if you are still looking for the very last-minute gift — this one will have to be an IOU — I love this portable pepper mill from Boing Boing.
Enjoy the day and hold on to your hat! lc
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.
