It is 7 a.m., 58° and headed toward 60° with a 30 percent chance of rain. Details for the next 10 days are here.

I wish this was of the Mission, but it’s SOMA and a time lapse of Tuesday’s clouds moving over the area. I’m sure they touched the Mission somewhere. Thanks to We Built This City.

So from a little Zen to a sobering fact about Mission and San Francisco middle schools. None are among the schools to watch in California. With all of this tech intelligence, we should be doing better than this.

Let’s drown our shame/sorrows in Pho at the new brick and mortar site for Rice Paper Scissors, but we’ll have to wait until Feb. 10th for that.

Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. 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 there.

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.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.
