San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, Fire Chief Joanne Hayes White and Police Chief Greg Suhr visited the Mission Wednesday to talk with merchants and residents about efforts to prevent violence and vandalism in the wake of this weekend's Super Bowl. The mayor came dressed in his 49ers finery, as you can see in this photo by Deborah Svoboda ...

Mayor Lee says he wants to avoid a repeat of the destructive celebrations that followed the Giants' World Series victory last year.
