Haunted Halloween

November 2, 2018 by Mary Szczepanik

There’s no denying that Halloween is quite the event in Glen Park — from the day-of parades at both Glen Park Montessori and Glen Park Elementary, to the nighttime festivities along and around Chenery street — Glen Park celebrates with enthusiasm and abandon. For the first time, San Francisco’s Ingleside Police station, with the guidance […]

Glen Park Businesses: Longevity Rules One family. Three locations. Fifty years.

August 17, 2018 by Gail Bensinger

Even for tiny Glen Park, where a surprising number of businesses are in their second, third or even fourth decade under the same ownership, Dalere’s Beauty Salon stands out for longevity. Glory Dalere is 83 now, a widow, and has long since turned over the operation of the shop to her daughter Marian, who runs […]

The Internet Conundrum in Glen Park

May 18, 2018 by Mary Szczepanik

Moving to Chenery Street a couple of years ago, I found that available Internet technology was older than many of my neighbors. AT&T’s Internet service, phone-line DSL, was hopelessly slow. Comcast’s cable speeds were faster but streaming videos ran out of bandwidth on Saturday nights. Many in the neighborhood have despaired of the options, so I […]

Restaurant Review: Worth a Trek to Angkor Borei

December 21, 2007 by BONNEE WALDSTEIN

Recently Glen Park has become a bona fide destination for foodies from the neighborhood and beyond. Now couples and groups can be seen walking through the village in their dressy casuals, alongside the locals in their flip-flops getting their forty bucks from the ATM. Lest we become too insulated in our cozy restaurant cocoon, I […]

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.
