It is 9:13 a.m. and these photos were taken earlier.  It is now 52˚ and expected to rise into the 67˚. Details for the next ten days here.

Today’s Block: Valencia to Mission,  17th to Sycamore.

Daylight savings time and the fog-shrouded sky made the morning dark, but the block was still there to be photographed, and so out I went. Clarion Alley hosts an ongoing mural project, with a mix of old and new murals gracing both sides as well as the pavement itself. Free coffee was on offer at a streetside table around the corner on Mission, bikers pedaled along Valencia on their way to work, I narrowly avoided stepping in human poop, a couple argued heatedly on Sycamore, and the faces on murals impassively watched over it all.

With the light good early on, so much the better to sign on to document your block. Don’t wait! Let us know what day and block you would like at info@missionlocal.com.

You can see a map of all of the blocks here. The blocks in grey are being saved for others who have signed up. Let us save a block for you as well.
