Painters worked on Friday sprucing up the new front of what will be Alba Ray’s, a new Cajun restaurant, that is set to open sometime this month at 2293 Mission St, the space briefly occupied by Hapa Ramen.

It appears from the posting in the window that there are also plenty of jobs for “bussers, servers, bartenders and hosts.”

“Our service will be casual fun and energetic,but we want our guests to be surprised by a level of service not usually found in a casual environment,” the job posting promises.

Those interested can send resumes and inquire at info@albarays.com.

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.
