It’s 7 a.m., a cloudy 57° and climbing to 66°, which means there will be sun. Details are here.

Dave Eggers belongs to the world of Six (or maybe Three) Degrees of Separation for neat projects. Lucky Peach, a new food magazine by Momofuku’s 33-year-old chef, David Chang, has sold out two printings of the first edition, writes the NYT.

Turns out Chang was an editor for the 16-page food section of the 320-page Panorama newspaper project produced by McSweeney’s, Eggers’ publishing house.

In that section, Chang offered an “unprecedented visual guide to making the perfect bowl of ramen.”

Ah ramen. Ah Eggers.

Muni Diaries offers a Transpo shopping spree to show local pride.

I’d go for the wood routing by Dave Marcoullier Designs except that it looks pricey, so maybe the notebook or the T-shirt.

Parkmobiles, writes SF Gate, could replace parklets, which I’m already wondering about. Are either really a good idea?

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.
