Mrs. Teriosa
21 Dec
One of the Mission Art in Storefronts projects that was implemented was a fortune telling service called Mrs. Teriosa, where you write your question on a card and drop it into a slot. Mrs. Teriosa, who are really Kelly Ording and Jetro Martinez, then posts the original and a reply card in the window. Mission Loc@l, a “hyperlocal” web magazine, have a few photos of the questions people have been asking in What We Want to Know (I, II). What we want to know, it turns out, is mostly relationship-related, for better, or in this case, for worse. I should go check it out soon, maybe ask her what photographs I should take next, what I should have for dinner tomorrow…
A little bit about Mission Loc@l:
Mission Loc@l believes that by covering a neighborhood fairly and thoroughly, we can build community and a sustainable model for quality journalism. As part of that effort, we seek collaboration and experimentation that will serve the community we cover and journalism. In the Mission District that means being a bilingual site and using print, multimedia and video to deliver information that offers diverse residents a way to connect and stay informed.
The site launched in October 2008, opened an office in the Mission District in January and many of us are Mission residents.
They have a feature call Sunday Morning Walk that’s pretty fun. Looks like the Mission alright.
