Photos by Marian Dalere Halloween was almost “normal” on Chenery Street this year. There was no official street closure due to the continuing Covid restrictions, but the Chenery Slow Street between Lippard and Burnside brought out significant crowds. One neighbor enthused, “Half the crowds as normal and waaay better–super fun!”

Instead of streets swarming with Ruth Bader Ginsburgs, Jedi knights and the occasional BART car, there was the eerie silence of the pandemic. But—with proper precautions—Halloween is back this year! St. John the Evangelist School at 925 […]

Get ready for Chenery Street closure on Halloween

October 27, 2019 by Bonnee Waldstein

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.
