NYTimes catches up with SOTA students on cross-country bike trip

August 27, 2020 by Bonnee Waldstein

Ross Mantle for the New York Times Back in the early days of the pandemic, it still seemed possible to carry out plans for activities and travels that had taken months of meticulous planning and eager anticipation. That was the case in a story in the Glen Park News of Spring 2020, p.11. A group […]

Geoffrey Gallegos: Glen Park’s 7 o’clock trumpet serenader

August 14, 2020 by Murray Schneider

  If you’ve stopped in Glen Park at 7 pm and heard the haunting strains of a trumpet and wondered where they came from, it’s Geoffrey Gallegos playing on his front steps over on Congo Street. He’s been playing almost every night since early April to honor essential workers — teachers, grocery clerks, public transit […]

Local gym ready to open — but when will it?

August 3, 2020 by Bonnee Waldstein

In a pandemic, when it comes to working out in a gym to stay fit or practicing yoga in a studio, we’re on our own. Glen Park has been lucky to have had several options close by. For example, there’s Synced Pilates on Chenery Street; Sunrise Health and Fitness, also on Chenery Street; and Sol […]

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 […]

Chenery Slow Street a little shorter than originally planned, still quite popular

June 19, 2020 by Elizabeth Weise

Fifteen swaths of street in San Francisco have so far been blocked off to create Slow Streets where people on foot and bicycles can more easily share the space. It’s part of the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic but life on the streets doesn’t always play out exactly as it’s depicted on the City’s […]

A Long Time to Kneel: Neighborhood Vigil for George Floyd

June 10, 2020 by Nicole Brand

On June 8, two weeks after the murder of George Floyd, we met at the park, and at 5:30 we all knelt for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. It’s a long time to kneel. It’s not a natural, comfortable thing to do. To kneel for that long you must make a conscious effort. To kneel […]

Glen Park is open for business — Update May 26, 2020

May 26, 2020 by Bonnee Waldstein

San Francisco is taking a cautious approach to opening our local economy.  While California counties are entering Phase 2 of the shutdown in full force, in which barbershops and hair salons may open, San Francisco has opted out of reopening certain businesses, and is going much more slowly.  However, a new Shared Spaces Program, brought […]

Two months in: Reminiscing about Glen Park during the lock down

May 17, 2020 by Murray Schneider

Two months ago, on March 17, San Francisco went on lockdown when the City ordered residents to shelter in place to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Where’s Glen Park Elementary? That’s easy

May 14, 2020 by Bonnee Waldstein

Like many San Franciscans, I’ve been taking the *golden opportunity* presented by the pandemic to do some exploring close to home. A good place to start was Bernal Heights park, which is nearby and which I’d surprisingly never visited before. Armed with a map and walking tour directions (details below), my husband and I made […]

Pet Daycare and Boarding Facility Offers FREE Day of Doggie Daycare

April 15, 2020 by pet camp/glen park news staff

“Let’s not go out and play,” said no dog ever. The closure of San Francisco dog parks means many of dog’s favorite activities have become impossible and as much as an on-leash walk is fun, there is no way it makes up for a romp in the park. In an effort to help stir crazy dogs—and their […]

March 14, 2020 by Bonnee Waldstein
