It is 9:15  a.m. and these photos were taken earlier.  It is now 52˚ and expected to rise into the 68˚. Details for the next ten days here.

Today’s Block:  Shotwell to South Van Ness,  18th to 17th.

I began  taking photos at St. Charles School built in 1887. It’s a beautiful old building that was refreshed with new life a few years back thanks to a generous donor who paid for a new paint job.  The block is mostly commercial businesses,  which were closed,  but as usual many people were already out walking to school or on their way to work. The homeless have also occupied parts of South Van Ness  in front of the businesses.

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.

I have lived in San Francisco since 1961 when my Dad moved us for his new employment from Stockton, CA. It was great growing up in the City back then. We lived in Eureka Valley and when I became an adult I moved over the hill to Noe Valley. In 1982 we looked to buy property and settled in the Mission. We bought a pair of flats with friends & we both raised our families here. Our adult children have moved on. We remain and continue to watch the neighborhood change.
