Quick-acting neighbors save chickens, bees after vandalism at SOTA farm

July 26, 2020 by Murray Schneider

Vandals destroyed a chicken coop atop Diamond Heights at the ECOSF student farm by the School of the Arts and smashed an adjacent beehive earlier this month. The eight fowl —seven hens and one bantam rooster named Diego — would almost certainly have become dinner for local wildlife if not for the quick action of […]

Glen Park News Online

July 13, 2020 by Gail Bensinger

For the second issue in a row, the Glen Park News appears on-line only, due to the coronavirus. With many of our drop-off points (including the library) closed or open for take-out only, and out of concern for the volunteer delivery squad who usually leave copies on residents’ doorsteps, we decided to forego the paper […]

If you need a reason to be grateful to live in Glen Park during a pandemic, just think of all the opportunities you have to get in shape, or keep in shape, at absolutely no cost.  Just put your mask on, go out your front door and walk up a hill, or climb one of […]

With COVID, cones are a no-no, but Mitchell’s Ice Cream is still dishing the good stuff

July 5, 2020 by Murray Schneider

Photos by Linda Mitchell Many things have changed about the legendary Mitchell’s Ice Cream in its years at 688 San Jose Avenue, but never the quality. In 1860 Edward and Margaret Mitchell ran a dairy on 29th and grazed their cows on Red Rock Hill just above what’s now Glen Canyon Park. In 1953 their […]

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director

Wonder what’s stopping just organizing it separate from that non-profit. It seems like the volunteers largely come from Glen Park.
