The Sunset District in San Francisco is a neighborhood rich in history. Sunset Shoe Repair is an example of one such business that has been operating for more than 110 years, making it the oldest business around.
This Labor Day weekend, from Saturday, September 2nd to Monday, September 4th, 2023, Dharma Treasury Temple will hold a public display of The 10,000 Buddha Relics Collection.

Dharma Treasury Temple is located at 3201 Ulloa Street, San Francisco, CA.
I have not bought jams from a grocery store ever since I moved to California, some 50+ years ago. And I have raised three children, frequently making them PB&J sandwiches for lunch. Now that the kids are grown, I still enjoy making jams, sometimes for myself or to give them away to friends.
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.

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.
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.

Broxton’s 2021 piece, “Save Me Joe Louis,” is part of the exhibition titled, “Crafting Radicality,” featuring 42 works by 30 Bay Area artists (both established an up-and-coming), at the de Young Museum, July 22-Dec. 31.
Our teacher, Judy, starts off with a short warmup of ancient, gentle Qi Gong stretches with intriguing names like Buddha Picks Up the Earth, and Picking Up a Feather. Then we progress for the next 45 minutes to the series of 19 continuous movements and one pose, the complete T’ai Chi Chih (pronounced tie-chee-chuh) practice. The movements are soft, flowing and easy to learn.
Paying off a mortgage early or not is a very personal decision. I have clients who just want to own their homes free and clear so that they can have peace of mind that they have no more monthly mortgages or obligations to pay.
