Good afternoon!
Got New Year’s resolutions? Io Yeh Gilman talks with San Franciscans about their goals.
Mission Local is full of History Worth Knowing. Here’s an especially lovely piece from 2010 about the iconic 17 Reasons Why sign, complete with a fantastic video.
Hate to remind you, but 2026 will be an election year. Joe Eskenazi is moderating a candidate forum at 6PM on January 7 at the UC Law School, with CA 11 candidates Connie Chan, Saikat Chakrabarti, and Scott Weiner. Register here to attend.
More soon,
Sara
