The Mission Detour Available Now

Produced in partnership with KQED

Today we are thrilled to announce the release our newest Detour and latest collaboration with KQED — a Detour down the main drag and back alleys of 24th Street in the Mission. The tour is live in the Detour app now, and you can take it whenever you like. You can also join us for a group walk of this Detour in the Mission with KQED on June 18th! Event details are at the bottom of this post.

Roberto Hernandez is a lifelong Mission resident and activist who knows everyone in the neighborhood. He is affectionately known as “the Mayor of the Mission” and he is the narrator of this Detour. On this interactive walk, Roberto takes you deep into the Mission with people who intimately love the neighborhood, but in very different ways. Roberto introduces you to all kinds of ‘locals’: from Latinos who treasure the neighborhood’s traditions, to tech-worker newcomers drawn to the neighborhood’s buzz. As we walk, they all meet each other to ask: What does it mean to belong to a place in the midst of unprecedented change?
