Right now it is 57° with a high of 68° – the forecast for the next ten days is here.

Today’s block:  18th to Mariposa, Utah to the freeway/SanBurno.

This is another wedge block, but one with the most amazing houses built high up on the hill that make you feel as if you must be in Maine and looking out to the Atlantic.  Does anyone know anything about the houses?

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.

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.
