Victor Prado, a teacher, and Andrea Valencia, Mission Local's translator, got married on Thursday and on Friday we celebrated with them. Congratulations to both.

It’s 7: 21 a.m, 59° and determined to stay stuck at 59°. Details for the next ten days are here.

With Tacolicous and other imports coming in from outside the Mission, I began to worry that the Mission’s stature as a food incubator had started to fade, but then there was  news in the SF Business Times of Delfina  expanding to the Peninsula and that evened  things out a bit. 

We Built This City loves the dirty pigeon mural on Potrero Hill.   And I’m loving the newest mural work in Greece. 

It is a good weekend for viewing art and prints and we look forward to seeing you at some of the galleries. 

We will also be covering a protest and rally bringing attention to the police shooting of Alejandro Nieto that starts at 2 p.m. at the Mission Cultural Center. 

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.
