It’s 7:36 a.m., 50°, headed to 59°, and things might go to a wild 60° — given that it’s Carnaval and all. Details are here.

For nerds: Time to drop into the mind of Johnny-o at Burrito Justice to discover why high-speed railroad is his destiny.

Here’s our coverage of Saturday’s festival. And a story about one float, from an artist who makes hundreds.

Here’s some more background on today’s Carnaval. We’ll be live blogging from 10 a.m. on.

One more: Sirron Norris has turned to Toast, from We Built This City.

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/executive 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.
