Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon!

Just a couple quick things:

Tenants in a Mission building are facing temporary eviction for improvements following a fire earlier this year—but they’re afraid they won’t be able to return. Oscar Palma reports on why tenants say city laws aren’t enough to protect them.

Mission Local meets a lot of people, and some of them are unforgettable. Did you miss Eleni Balakrishnan‘s story on the sidewalk barber of the Tenderloin?

More soon,
