Throngs of revelers drinking Modelos and filming street fireworks dominated select corners of the Mission District on Saturday night for what has long been a July 4 tradition.<\/p>\n

And like clockwork, heavily-clad police officers with riot gear and batons moved in to stop the shows<\/a> \u2014 fireworks are illegal in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Here are photos of the night.<\/p>\n

We won’t ignore your neighborhood<\/p>\n

When a San Francisco neighborhood has a Mission Local reporter, it means someone is there. We’re following new housing projects proposed on your block, keeping tabs on what your district supervisor is up to at City Hall, and letting you know when longtime businesses close (and new ones open). When big news breaks, we already know the context.<\/p>\n

Most neighborhoods don’t have that. Yours could.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s what Mission Local is building. Our reporters don’t parachute in — they write consistently on San Francisco, so you’re never reading about your neighborhood from someone who just looked it up.<\/p>\n

So far we are in five of San Francisco’s neighborhoods. But we know all San Franciscans deserve our kind of coverage. Will you join us?<\/p>\n
