Our feature on David Ireland is here.

Finally, it’s the empanada taste off. Venga, rich in vegetarian options and Chile Lindo, rich in meat. Yum. And it’s to celebrate El Tecolote’s 39th Anniversary on Sunday August 23rd from 2: p.m. to 4 p.m. on 24th at El Tecolote. Cheers. See you there.

The SF Weekly has a nice photo show of murals and garage doors by Joseph Schell.

Love the dove, the escalator up and many others.

Did you see the Bethany Mural getting a facelift?

Okay, Viola’s off for a few days and Amanda’s taking over from here.

Enjoy the weekend.

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.
