It is 7 a.m, 56° and headed to 64°. Details for the next ten days are here. The temperature dips to 61 on Monday, but then recovers nicely through the week and, you might, like these folks, want to play hooky later in the week.

No matter how well one thinks they know the Mission, there are always surprises.  For instance, how did I not know about the Mission Science and its founder, Dan Sudran?

Mission Science is part Exploratorium, part California Academy of Sciences, part Maker Faire and part super-cool science class. Founded by Dan Sudran in his San Francisco Mission district garage over 20 years ago, Mission Science now has two locations in the city and a handful of other locations around the state.

Local’s Corner was vandalized again on Friday, reports ABC News. 

And if you’re wondering – as many of us have – what will become of the old 99 cent store at 18th and Mission, SF Curbed reports it will be a brewery and a full service restaurant. 

Enjoy the day. Here is your Bay to Breakers link to the course map.  It’s only an hour away.

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.
