It’s 5:50 a.m, 46°, going to 69°. Details are here.

While there are many things to do on a Mission evening, we highly recommend signing up for the next Whole Beast Supper Club at La Victoria. Last night’s beast was the goat. Kevin Bunnell is the chef, and he comes out and explains at the start of each seating how you’re going to eat goat five ways. Delish. Look for the announcement of the next beast night.

While we were eating, We Built This City snapped this sunset from Bernal.

Another view — this one from Burrito Justice — of the Farallones.

Good luck to this New Yorker trying to find affordable housing in the Mission District. But if anyone has advice for him/her, pass it on.

Entertainment for tonight that you won’t get anywhere else? The Mission Art and Performance Project, better known as MAPP. Pick up your guide at the Red Poppy on 23rd and Folsom. Never heard of it? Neither had these folks.

A profile of MAPP’s origins is here. But don’t just read about it — go. It’s Mission unique, and who knows how long it will go on?

While you’re out, drop in at Artillery on Mission, just south of 24th Street, and an opening for Shawn Ray Harris.

If neither MAPP or Artillery suit your mood, check out other events here.

Enjoy, lc

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/executive 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.
