It’s 7 a.m, 51° and headed to 65° a perfect Saturday to enjoy – for the last weekend – the full run of Dolores Park. Details for the next ten days are here.

The unintended consequences of gloves.  A Bengali once talked about the pleasures of eating with one’s fingers and said that eating with a fork would be like making love with gloves. Well, state legislators have discovered a push back from their legislation that put gloves on bartenders and for this they are getting no love and have decided they’ve erred. 

Vintage Walk. If you’re walking around the city today, here is the Daily Candy’s guide to vintage. It’s short on Mission shops, but does mention the No Shop at 389 Valencia St. 

The 27-Bryant Stays. Alas, the city does at times listen, and has revoked its plan to move the 27-Bryant to Folsom, according to Streetsblog SF.    There’s time for more rider input tomorrow at an SFMTA affair today at 10 a.m. at 1 South Van Ness. 

And the new status symbol arrives. A Mission Street Address?  

Enjoy the day!

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.

  1. Re: the 27 Bryant stays. Why start your sentence with the interjection “alas?” I’m pretty happy it’s staying.
