There was an overwhelming police presence outside Higher Grounds late Tuesday morning. Their comportment suggested they weren’t there responding to a mob hit job, thankfully. They were standing there schmoozing among themselves. Ingleside Captain Jack Hart was just leaving the scene and fortunately was able to stop and explain what was going on. Every month […]
SFPW scheduled road work in April
Public Works’ goal is to apply a micro-surface seal to more than 200 blocks annually throughout the City as an efficient and cost-effective way to prolong the life of our streets. Micro-surfacing preserves the asphalt pavement by protecting the surface from the effects of natural aging and the environment caused by inclement weather, excessive heat […]
Wilder Street Garden: A Growing Idea

Not a great track record for Muni buses serving Glen Park
The best and worst on-time performing Muni bus lines, ranked Last week Curbed SF examined SFMTA’s latest data dump about Muni light rail’s on-time performance—or rather, its lack thereof. By comparison, Muni bus service is far more reliable than its trains. And yet, not a single bus line in the city is even close to Muni’s stated goal […]
San Francisco Scale Model is a massive hit at the library
Glen Parkers and residents from adjoining neighborhoods packed the library last Thursday to see a section (of the 120) of the San Francisco Scale Model and hear its fascinating story. At the same time, it was an exciting history lesson about our neighborhoods. The model was in storage for 77 years, until now. The presentation […]

Gridlock Grips Glen Park
On a fairly typical late Tuesday morning in Glen Park, a huge truck full of pet chow made its delivery to Critter Fritters. How it managed to make its way onto Chenery Street wasn’t captured in a photo, unfortunately. It was just too much for the narrow commercial street, with parked cars on both sides (and […]
