Neil Ballard brightens 24th and Potrero with another mural
Sign up below to get Mission Local’s free newsletter, a daily digest of news you won’t find elsewhere. At the corner of 24th Street and Potrero Avenue is a Walgreens distinct from any other of the chain’s drugstores in San Francisco. The difference? A bright multi-colored 15-foot-tall mural that wraps around the exterior of the building. It features bright blue houses with dark shadows, thin trees in soft autumn colors and clear bright colorful skies — a Neil G. Ballard original. Ballard began his project, titled “Evening Trees,” on Sept. 3. He was inspired by the tall, skinny eucalyptus trees on the median strip of Potrero Avenue and the houses of the Mission District. “I want people to get a sense of joy and happiness from the colors on the wall,” Ballard said, referring to the juxtaposition of bright and dark colors.

Call for Farrell to be criminally investigated precedes Farrell presser
Some 45 minutes prior to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell’s press conference announcing his preferred ranked-choice voting strategy, a consortium including three former San Francisco mayors made public a letter calling for Farrell to be criminally investigated. The letter was sent to Attorney General Rob Bonta and DA Brooke Jenkins and signed by former mayors Art Agnos, Willie Brown and Frank Jordan. It was also signed by former City Attorney Louise Renne; former state senator Mark Leno; former supervisor and retired judge Quentin Kopp; former supervisor Angela Alioto; former assistant district attorney and current criminal defense attorney Randy Knox; and veteran Bay Area attorney John Keker. The letter follows reporting by the San Francisco Chronicle and Mission Local regarding the commingling of funds between Farrell’s mayoral campaign committee and a ballot measure committee supporting Proposition D. The arrangement has enabled Farrell to effectively […]
