Letter to the Editor: An Upper Great Highway Tunnel
If, in the near future, we can tear out the old road on the Upper Great Highway and replace it with a tunnel for cars, trucks, vans, jeeps, motorcycles, etc., then a new path could be built on top of the tunnel and dirt and grass put there for people to enjoy safely on top.

I am writing this in late October as we look to see what the November election will bring us. The presidential race has been brutal and currently in a statistical tie as far as the polls show.
36th Annual San Francisco Old Car Picnic
It was a warm sunny day on Saturday, Oct. 19, when old car enthusiasts from around the Bay Area gathered in Golden Gate Park for the 36th annual San Francisco Old Car Picnic. The event was founded by retired Golden Gate Park gardener Jimmy O’Keeffe and raises money for charities supporting developmentally disabled people. The event is free for the public but old-car owners (before 1999) pay $40 each to park on the grass at Speedway Meadow and Hellman Hollow for the day.

Letter to the Editor: Prop. K Is Loved by Many Sunset Residents
The Great Highway Park pilot has been a transformative experience for our community and Ocean Beach Park will make it better. For years, the Upper Great Highway cut our neighborhood off from the beach, acting as both a mental and physical barrier that discourages daily enjoyment of the coast.
Where Two Leading D-1 Supervisorial Candidates Get Their Small Donations
Although most media coverage of San Francisco’s upcoming elections has focused on big money donors like Ron Conway and others, a sampling of who is giving smaller donations of less than $500 each also tells a story.

It has been a trying few years for our Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) neighbors. The pandemic not only escalated a rise in Asian hate, but it also exacerbated mental health struggles. Leaders like myself became painfully aware of the lack of resources available to AAPI communities – from keeping our seniors safe to providing emotional support that could help people in crisis.

Many readers will be inoculated by this column’s volubility, and many will explore it for blunders which render my observations and information subject to judgment and even criticism. It has been observed that criticism from a friend is better than flattery from an enemy. I bear no malice because the person who is not criticized isn’t breathing. You might avoid criticism by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing.
