Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon! Here’s the latest:

Tomorrow at 24th and Mission, our partners at the Community News Lab are setting up a news kiosk displaying bilingual local news and information, and soliciting feedback from neighbors. Stop by the southwest plaza from 11AM-4PM on Thursday to talk with staff from Mission Local, El Tecolote, and Calle 24, and share your thoughts about the news!

Alamo Drafthouse has laid off 15 employees at its Mission theater, as part of national cutbacks by the Austin-based chain, which is owned by Sony. See what workers have to say about the sudden layoffs.

Hey, high-quality gas station food is a real thing– especially in places like Jordan, where the best shwarma comes out of a garage. Now the brothers behind Marza, one of the top-rated Middle Eastern restaurants in the Bay Area, are opening a shwarma stand at the gas station at Mission and 30th.

More soon,

Sara
