Program participants met at Sunset Reservoir to celebrate with a pot-luck before the planting. Participating Sunset District blocks include: the 1400 block of 37th Avenue, the 2000 block of 47th Avenue and the 1700 block of Ortega Street. Our office would like to thank the SFPUC and FUF for their strong partnership in this program. For each square foot of concrete converted to landscaping in the Sunset District, an average of about 12 gallons of stormwater runoff can be removed from the sewer system per year. When taken in conjunction with the other projects the SFPUC has underway, such as the Sunset Boulevard Greenway Project, the amount of stormwater diverted from our combined sewer system is significant FUF was instrumental in guiding residents through the permitting and landscaping process, and FUF staff applied the expertise from their robust street tree planting Planting with 37th Avenue Neighbors Debbie & Cathy program. Additionally, we would like to thank the Surfrider Foundation for providing volunteers, and Sloat Garden Center for providing a starter kit for participants and ongoing support out of their store at 2700 Sloat Boulevard.

  • For Over Two Decades, Musician/Head ​MATT
    hed: GOOD FUZZ dek: For over two decades, musician/head MATT VALENTINE has navigated strange, inspiring ​ ​ trips across myriad underground psychedelic terrains, joined by a revolving cast of fellow free travelers. Byron Coley crosses the bridge to get MV’s side of the story. ​ ​ Matt Valentine aka Matthew Dell aka LunarMV, etc., is one of the more righteous freaks of our age. As a writer, guitarist, vocalist, label head, whiskey fan, and whatever else he might happen to be, Matt is one of those rare guys who is always ready to go “all in.” He is neither shy about his many accomplishments, nor unwilling to speak about them, but he is so flat­out committed to his own sci­fi­damaged version of personal history the way he'd like it to be ​ known that he can be a tough person to interview. He loves the elliptical, the mysterious, the ​ vaguely legendary secrets that underpin all true history, and he seems more than happy to offer wild and theoretical answers to most dull and specific questions that come his way. For this reason, among others, there are few places you can turn for objective facts about the musical/historical trajectory of Matt Valentine. And the man clearly deserves a thorough overview. This isn't exactly it, but it's a first step. Matt and I have been friends for a couple of decades. We've done various projects together over the years—tapes, shows, albums, tours, books, etc.—and he well knows in what high esteem I hold all of his work.

    COLE VALLEY IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION CVolume XXXIIIVIA SERVING ALL RESIDENTS NEWSOF THE GREATER HAIGHT ASHBURY SPRING 2019 Interim Use of McDonald’s The Goats Return to Mount Sutro on Hold Probably Until April For everyone who enjoys seeing goats performing maintenance work in the Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve, we’re excited to share In an update by Derek Remski, legislative aide to District 5 that the goats are coming earlier to Mount Sutro than previously Supervisor Vallie Brown, CVIA learned that, after vetting by the expected. You can currently find the goats grazing near the South Department of Real Estate and the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Ridge Trail. They help with fire hazard mitigation and will graze in Community Development (MOHCD), the Request for Proposal (RFP) for interim use of the former McDonald’s restaurant and adjacent parking lot at 730 Stanyan was released to the public on Friday December 14, 2018. Typically, RFPs have a thirty-day submission period, but because the request was released in the middle of the holiday season, Supervisor Brown persuaded the governing city departments to extend the deadline for submissions to February 28, 2019. The lot was open to holiday shoppers for parking during the month of December. Remski told Camden Avery of Hoodline. com that they planned for it to become paid parking lot to improve access to small neighborhood businesses during the construction on Haight Street (See the “Transit Improvement and Pedestrian Realm Project”). An interim use proposal is expected to be submitted by the Coalition for a Complete Community (CCC), a consortium of nonprofit social service providers organized by the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC).

Curator of this retrospective is Executive Director and Curator of Pro Arts Gallery, Natalia Ivanova Mount. SIGNMAN: JOHN LAW PRESS RELEASE 2 FUN, 2010 Mixed media/neon - wood, metal, glass, transformers. 14’ x 4.5’ SIGNMAN: John Law will feature original works, spanning the last four decades of Law’s art practice. As part of this exhibit, visitors will encounter rare documentation of events, pranks and actions by seminal art and culture movements of the past; neon sculptures; photography; and multi-media installations. “John’s work offers tales from the underground that challenge our contemporary moment, characterized by a zombie like addiction to social media, weakened ability and will to gather, explore and wonder informally,” says curator of the retrospective Natalia Ivanova Mount. We need the rituals of the underground today more than ever so we can imagine the world beyond capitalism, beyond commodification, and the menial production of objects and ideas in an art world, beholden to a market value.
