Amy O’Hair, an independent researcher and writer with the Sunnyside History Project, has published a book, History Walks in Sunnyside.
From the publicity material:
“An early residential district in San Francisco, Sunnyside has a surprising history, from pioneering transit infrastructure to remarkable stories of early families. The development of parks, housing, and commerce all help illuminate the neighborhood as it stands today.
Each of the five color-coded walks centers on a theme or area. Guide maps make them easy to follow. Stop-by-stop stories give you succinct accounts. Includes never-before-published material. Learn about the origins of the unusual street names along the way. QR codes link to deeper stories for more exploration. And an index makes finding any subject in the book simple.”
Also on the shelves at Bird and Beckett in Glen Park, and Dog Eared Books in the Mission.
Book signing and sales this Monday, 10 August 2026, during the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association quarterly meeting (6pm to 8pm).
All profits are donated to the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association.
