‘Photos of the Month’: March 2025
Letter to the Editor: Closing UGH Wrong on All Counts
Editor: There is no need to close the Upper Great Highway (UGH) to cars on weekdays. Between Lincoln and Sloat, UGH is not falling into the ocean. South of Sloat, yes, we […]
Letter to the Editor: Fight Over Upper Great Hwy a Class War
District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio played a significant role in creating this battle between the working class and the laptop elite. It is time for the working people of D4 to have their own working-class revolt by signing the petition to recall Engardio.
Letter to the Editor: Has Engardio Held Any Recent Town Hall Meetings?
Have there been any events where Joel welcomed diverse perspectives and listened to all sides of the issue? Or is he just relying on PR stunts to create the illusion of engagement?
Press Release: Plans for a Park on the Closed Upper Great Highway
Rec. and Park is working on initial park improvements to roll out when the park opens full-time.
‘Cooking Together’: Samosa/Kopita
This is my adaptation of an Indian savory dish called a samosa using Greek filo/phyllo pastry. They are filled with cooked potatoes, peas and other vegetables and folded into triangles.
Letter to the Editor: Climate Change a Factor in UGH Closure
Supervisor Engardio listens to his District 4 constituents and has been a leader in moving the Great Highway Park closer to reality. Car traffic must be diverted east because of that road closure no matter what, and a majority of San Franciscans saw that the inconvenience was an opportunity to create a huge new recreation space.
Press Release: Lawsuit Filed Challenging Legality of Prop. K
They allege Proposition K violates California law that controls permanent road closures, and it was adopted without the required environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Letter to the Editor: Westside Troubles – Sold Out by Supervisor
I believe that the current supervisor in the Sunset has performed his duties with malfeasance.
Letter to the Editor: In Appreciation of Joel Engardio
Joel Engardio has earned the right to serve out his term, and I am proud to support him. I encourage my neighbors to reject this recall and let him keep doing the great work we elected him to do.

Five years after the world shifted, Birdhouse Gallery invites the public to reflect on the enduring impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through Ari Salomon’s poignant photography exhibition, 6 Feet Apart, culminating in a closing reception and book launch on March 16.
Letter to the Editor: Problems With the Westerly – Why Build Another High-Rise?
Regarding the proposed once 50-story but now 22-story high-rise at 2700 Sloat Blvd. that is strongly objected to by residents in District 4 for being out of character for the neighborhood, among other things, one wonders why a developer would build it right next to The Westerly, a structure 25% smaller that has been mostly vacant since it was built.
Soup and Art Converge at the Rusty Ladle, a New Outer Sunset Hotspot
Mark Twain may never have actually said, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco,” but the sentiment surely stands – especially in the Sunset.
Real Estate: John M. Lee
Now that 2025 has arrived, buyers and sellers are preparing for the upcoming spring real estate market. However, unlike previous years, with the stock market going up and down the first two months of the year, there is a sense of uncertainty and anxiety.
