It is  51˚ and expected to rise to 60˚. Details for the next ten days are here.

Today’s Block Valencia to Bartlett, 23th to 24th Streets.

Since the weather has been nice and the sun is coming up sooner I was motivated to get out early. By 6:30 am I was on Valencia St. Most of my block is taken up by Buena Vista Horace Mann School. The majority of my  photos were of the school & their colorful murals.  I ventured inside the grounds to find a large garden. Years ago there were no colorful murals, flowers or plants but now the school looks beautiful for everyone.

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.
