California Missions Road Trip: 21-Mission Itinerary

A California missions road trip is the oldest road trip in the state. Between 1769 and 1823, 21 Spanish missions were built along El Camino Real, the Royal Road, from San Diego to Sonoma — about a day’s journey, roughly 30 miles, apart. Today you can drive the whole chain in seven days, visiting the oldest building in San Francisco, the largest mission church in California, the chapel where Junípero Serra is buried, and the site of the Bear Flag Revolt.

A movement of traditional healers rises in Oakland

If you have a toothache, you go to the dentist. If you have a broken bone, you go to the doctor. But how do you tend to your emotional wounds such as grief, past trauma and burnout? And how do you attend to collective harm, the result of waves of addiction, gun violence and sexual violence that have moved through Oakland?

Mary, 98, Paid Her Rent on Time for 50 Years. Then the Building's Owners Moved to Evict Her: "I Am Too Old to Pack Up and Leave"

Mary Phillips was 98 and still answering her own door. That is how KRON 4 reporter Dan Kerman found her in July 2014, in the Dolores Street apartment in San Francisco where she had lived for 50 years. She told him she had been very happy there, had “always paid my rent,” and had never been late. None of that stopped what came next. KRON reported that the building’s owners had evicted her using the Ellis Act, a California law that lets property owners take rental units off the market. Phillips told the station she had nowhere else to go. She said she did not break down when the notice came. She simply refused to believe it. With her attorneys, she decided to fight. “I am too old to pack up and leave,” she told KRON. Then she added, with a laugh, that she would just “kick the bucket right here.” Her story came out the same day several dozen protesters rallied outside the offices of the investment firm that owned the building, calling for an end to rising evictions in the city. The demonstrators claimed the firm bought buildings, cleared tenants through the Ellis Act and then resold them

Meet UMNI: The Retired SF Muni Bus Getting a Second Life as a Roaming Speakeasy

“I don’t know what we’re gonna do with it. We gotta go look at it.”. Those were the words lifelong San Francisco resident Oliver Sellman said to his childhood friend Santiago Rollo after stumbling across a Muni bus for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The two made the spontaneous drive to Sacramento, using the time on the road to brainstorm ideas for what they could do with the bus. After batting around a few possibilities, they landed on one that stuck: What if we turned it into a mobile speakeasy? While they didn’t end up purchasing that particular bus, they held tightly onto the idea. They eventually found another retired Muni bus and teamed up with Marc Velten-Lomelin, who would help shape the project’s creative identity and bring the concept to life. Just like that, UMNI was born.
