It’s 7 a.m., 50° and headed to 63°. Mostly cloudy, they say, but hey, yesterday was so beautiful, we can take the clouds today. We’ll have rain by 11 a.m., according to this hour-by-hour report. But the rest of the weekend looks clear.

If you’re looking for meaning in 11/11/11, the Chinese hold it as a run of good luck in love for those who are single.

And yes, that snap we put up a while ago was a harbinger of a new bookstore on 24th Street, reports Uptown Almanac, which has a photograph of a beautiful interior of books.

And Muni Diaries reports on a benefit for the family of busker Jesse Morris. You’ll have to cross the Bay, but it sounds like it could be worth it.

Stay dry! 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.
