Wednesday: Community Meeting on Public Safety
We’re a little overdue for our recurring post about Crime in SOMA. I just haven’t had a chance to sit down and write it out. In the meantime, I wanted to touch on this Community Meeting about Public Safety in South of Market, co-hosted by Supervisor Jane Kim and SFPD Southern Station Captain Charlie Orkes. [...]

YMCA Embarcadero Expanding Children Programs in SOMA
As South of Market continues to develop as a full neighborhood, we’ve started to see a major increase in families with young children who are opting to live here. Moving forward, it is important that the plan for this neighborhood starts to consider these young children, be it with the addition of more children’s playgrounds [...]
AT&T Park(ing Lot) Says “I Love This City” in May
When I first heard about the I Love This City music festival- coming to the Parking Lot of AT&T Park this May 25 – 26- I thought that I had officially passed the age threshold of modern music. I had never heard of bands like Kill the Noise, Brodinski, Shit Robot and Helicopter Showdown. And [...]
Folsom Street Fire Station Construction Has Begun…
We’ve covered the ongoing public discussion and imminent relocation of the San Francisco Fire Station that is currently located behind the SFMOMA (151 Third St.) at Third and Howard. Word on the street is that the building at the new station location- strategically located across the street from the Folsom Gulch (947 Folsom St.)- has been demolished, [...]
The Butcher Returns to Bloodhound for Easter!
As noted in the past, I love Bloodhound’s (1145 Folsom St.) Meatlocker Events. This is the first one that I recall being on Easter Sunday (though what do I know?). If you’re around (and you like meat), I highly recommend you pick up a ticket before they are gone. This Sunday, it’s the return of [...]

This evening, there will be a meeting to discuss the possibility of creating a Community Benefit District for the Rincon Hill and South [...]

Now all they have to do is build it… Yesterday afternoon, the Board of Supervisors (finally) voted on the fate of the 2013 America’s Cup. Great news today. America’s Cup 2013 in San Francisco is Go!. The City’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to green-light the project. Racing right off the city-front between Golden Gate [...]
Closing Reception: Little Raven Gallery’s Hand You My Heart Exhibit
Updated Post on March 28th: Hard to believe that it’s been a month and a half since the Little Raven Gallery (1015 Howard St.) opened their Love-themed exhibit, Hand You My Heart. But much like love, all exhibits must eventually come to an end, and this one is closing tomorrow. If you haven’t had a [...]
Bluxome Street Winery Hosting A New Meet Market
I love the Bluxome Street Winery (53 Bluxome St.). I don’t think I’ve ever been there when it was anywhere near overcrowded, and the staff is all friendly and knowledgeable. This weekend, they are starting what I hope will be a new tradition: The Meet Market. We at Bluxome stand accused of enjoying the finer [...]
