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.

    I think that Lucia Ippolito’ two murals entitled “Mission Makeover”, on Balmy Alley in San Francico’s Mission District, best describe what has happened to the Mission in the last twenty years. The murals depict the two MIssions that she was most familiar with. The first was of the ‘old neighborhood’…. the place she remembered growing up in. The second mural depicts the current “Madeover Mission”, remodeled and revised with designer boutiques, high-priced cafes, less Latino immigrant families and dwindling diversity. She, along with her father Tirso who helped paint the murals, understand the history of the older Mission and acknowledge that there was once a thriving Hispanic community living there that, today, barely resembles a shell of itself.
