It is 7 a.m., 56° and headed to 64°. Details for today and the next ten days are here.

I’ve been complaining about the 24th Street BART escalator, but after reading about the delays in the elevators at public housing, I feel shamed and completely unhopeful.  Really? This is a city that works? ARGH.

Need a Zen moment? We Built This City has a good shot of the mural inside the Noe Valley Bagel Company. 

Escape and plan your fall cultural outings with SF Weekly’s Guide. 

Or, just escape to Maryland where, Grist says, they do local food right. To see what that means, click here. 

Enjoy! It’s only Monday.

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.
