Fire by Esther Reyes

It’s 6:24 a.m., a cool 50° and headed to a not-much-warmer-in-the-wind 65°. Details for the next 10 days are here.

Wonderful photos of last night’s eclipse on SF Gate. Also at SFist.

Another reason to live in San Francisco: SF Streetsblog reports on “resilient walkable” cities that bounce back from recessions a lot faster than car-bound burbs.

The 1,800-foot Diego Rivera fresco on panels at City College is getting some attention thanks to an effort led by Will Maynez, a retiring physics lab manager at the school, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Enjoy the week, 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 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.
