It’s 7:35 a.m., 55°, raining and headed to only 56°. Details are here. I guess we should be grateful that it’s not snowing.

Ray LaHood talks about bikes and other livability issues, from Streetsblog. Sort of like watching C-SPAN on a rainy day.

There’s a sleepover for adults at the Academy of Sciences — SF’s answer to being outdoors in what is supposed to be summer.

And, if you’re feeling particularly piggish, maybe join the Cochon 555 on Sunday.

What can I say? Enjoy the weekend? Dunno, that seems overly optimistic, even for me. Organize your kitchen drawers! 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.
