The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the car service apps are going to great lengths to attract drivers. Uber, the story reports, put company reps in as passengers of a competing company and then offered the driver a $500 signing bonus and a bigger cut of the profits.

Here’s another opportunity to get some neighborhood history. That bakery you love on Valencia called Arizmendi, has deep roots in Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto, writes SF Weekly. Hope you saw the link to our history posting yesterday on Pacos Tacos and McDonald’s. If not, catch up here.

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.

    1. Looks expensive for commercial rent at first sight, but compared to downtown or SOMA, it’s a snip.

      NEMIZ is perfectly configured for high-value knowledge work use and I’d expect to see more deals like this as well.
