The promoter of Outside Lands has so magnanimously granted us residents of the Richmond and Sunset $35,000 each in so-called Community Benefit Funds from Outside Lands profits. Researched that the Richmond itself has about 35,000 residents, so each of us get a “benefit’ of exactly ONE DOLLAR for the lost weekend of noise and air pollution, heavy traffic, etc. Can assume the Sunset residents “benefit” about the same.
We are opposed to holding the post-Outside Lands (OSL) concert in Golden Gate Park (GGP). The post-OSL concert may be fun for the privileged few who can afford the tickets, but for the residents of the Sunset and Richmond Districts, the neighbors of GGP, it’s no fun at all.
I’m in the east bay, but I enjoy visiting Ocean Beach frequently.
I’m horrified by the frequent fires there and the resulting air
pollution. Also the loose dogs in the Snowy Plover preserve.
I joined a family really into staging large reunions, where everything had to be documented with snapshots – in front of bodies of water, sitting around a massive table at restaurants (“Everybody, stop eating for a second!”) and posing in front of mountain ranges.
Simply put, the continuous third lane down Geary, a.k.a. the Red Carpet Lane, is going to be possible by converting the current angled parking to parallel parking. This is not only going to make the bus faster, but it is also going to alleviate some congestion for people who need to drive to the Outer Richmond since they won’t get stuck behind a bus.
Geary merchants and other neighborhood leaders will carry a coffin mourning the loss of Thom’s Natural Foods and other local businesses that have recently closed due to economic hardships.
Call it what you may, a government-sanctioned and subcontracted facility for addicts of illicit drugs is illegal. Safe Injection, Safe Consumption, Overdose Prevention, all are terms dreamed up by the imaginative advocates to generate public support, while concealing violations of federal and state law.

“Child of the 1960s: A Day in the Life” is a memoir of the coming of age of an adolescent boy in San Francisco in the turbulent 1960s. You get glimpses of beatniks, hippies, Gypsy Joker bikers, race riots, rowdy 49er football games at venerable Kezar Stadium and other epic events of the times along with an overview of the cultural zeitgeist of the decade.
The first Sunset Night Market is coming to Irving Street, between 20th and 23rd avenues, on Friday, Sept. 15, 5-10 p.m., to test the concept presented by District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio.
Last December, I was a newly elected supervisor expected to show up at City Hall with ideas to fix things. As my husband and I walked through a Taipei night market, we looked at all the food, entertainment and art. Then we imagined all that fun in the Sunset in the middle of Irving Street.
This photo of Trad’r Sam, the Outer Richmond District Polynesian-themed bar on Geary Boulevard at 26th Avenue, was taken circa 1950. The bar was opened in 1937 by Sam Baylon. SF Heritage called it the “longest continuously running tiki bar in the world.”
Giving people greater flexibility to stay in their homes isn’t something that can happen overnight but requires fixing policies that currently make it difficult to enact even small changes.
For the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department’s Therapeutic Recreation Inclusion Services Team, this outdoor adventure does not serve as a movement activity alone. Instead, its greater purpose called for inclusivity for people with disabilities soon entering the workforce.
