On 17th and Treat.

It is 7 a.m, 60° and headed to 68°.  After complaining about our high 60s SF summer weather, the sky cleared and it hit 70 and felt like 75.  My guess is it will do the same today, but for today and the next ten days are here.

Whoa!  The 6.0 earthquake here woke up everyone in my house, and although the SFPD said earlier that all was normal in the city, SF Gate reports this morning that the quake, centered in Napa County, north of Vallejo, caused “numerous” injuries and some fires in downtown Napa as well as damage in Vallejo. 

The news today is Google’s response to San Francisco teacher Claudia Tirado, who is being evicted by one of the tech company’s lawyers.  Google can’t help, an executive told Tirado. 

Yes, today is the bare one’s breasts day at Dolores Park. SF Weekly all thanks to smarter zoning. 

And the Thrillist places the Mission over Hayes Valley.  Ah yes, what is the thrillist? Lists. Thrills. Maybe they’re onto something.

Enjoy!

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.
