Watch: Lovers Lane overflowed with community joy in the Mission

Check out last Saturday's heartwarming celebration of art, music, food, crafts, culture, and neighborhood spirit

48 Hills has been hitting the streets, and we had to make a stop at last Saturday’s Lover Lane in Balmy Alley, which showcased Mission art, music, food, crafts, culture, and the passion for connection which makes the community so great. Our reporter Andrew Brobst was on the scene—follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for more community connection. (Yes we know social media is evil, we’re trying to fill it with good stuff.)

48 Hills welcomes comments in the form of letters to the editor, which you can submit here. We also invite you to join the conversation on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
