A concert at Glen Park BART? Yes indeed

I played hooky from work that afternoon, and rode from Powell Street to Glen Park and back, with a friend visiting from out of town. I had heard that the Glen Park station was an architectural standout. We got […]

The intersection of Diamond and Chenery Streets today is in the very heart of Glen Park.

Diamond Heights stairway walk

April 9, 2021 by Bonnee Waldstein (Contributor: Patrick Carroll)

When the planners designed Diamond Heights back in the 1950s and 1960s, they went for a suburban feel, with winding, curvilinear streets and plenty of parking. They also included stairways to connect hill dwellers with shopping and parks. The stairways received names. Some, like the streets they connected, were named after semiprecious stones. Others, in […]

Walking through, one can see how the people living just beyond have lovingly tended (or neglected) these borderlands. One does not expect to […]
