The San Francisco Citizen

The SFBC’s Second Annual Family Day was well-attended this past (Healthy) Saturday in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Check out a bunch of photos from the day at the Flickr from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.

People enjoyed a bicycle road-eo, games, a safety clinic, a scavenger hunt, a parade and some free bike maintenance.  

But best of all, some children gained their Freedom From Training Wheels. (Four wheels bad, two wheels good, right kids?)

See you next year!

Well, it’s the beginning of September, so it must be time for another 911 Truth March in Golden Gate Park.

Turnout was better than last year, based upon this 2007 report from Zombietime, that dude from Berkeley. (Of course, Zombietime.com started as a ”platform to expose the craziness that has emerged on the left side of the political spectrum since 9/11,” so don’t expect sweetness and nice at that site.)

It’s hard to say just how this ridiculous conspiracy theory will hold up when compared with the tried-and-true JFK and Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories.  

Of course you are free to read the San Francisco Chronicle and then believe that “…there is simply no way 19 [people] with box cutters sent by some [person] could have pulled off the most perfectly orchestrated air attack of the century.”

Your choice.

This official street sign at the end of San Francisco’s Bush Street at Presidio Avenue was manufactured just a few weeks after George W. Bush was sworn into office in January, 2001.

You can go to the intersection near 2999 Bush to see yourself these days. But will it get taken down next year when it’s no longer necessary?

Here’s the sign, made with a little help from 3M:

“END BUSH 2/01 SSC C&C of S.F. 3M”

Look fast, as 01.20.09 will be here soon.

The Guardian Angels, those unarmed volunteer citizen crime patrollers, are on the rise in the San Francisco area lately.

Here’s what they looked like last year in Oakland. Click to enlarge:

And here’s who showed up in San Francisco’s Mission District yesterday, per San Francisco FYI net.

Some parts of the Mission certainly can use a little help these days. You can explore these issues with those who march tonight at 7:00 PM on 24th Street.

See you there.

This is what it looked like at Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park at the 10th Annual Power to the Peaceful Festival 2008, Music Conciousness Action, featuring Michael Franti and Spearhead, Ziggy Marley, Warren Haynes, Rebelution, Martin Luther, King Britt, and Cheb i Sabbah.

No longer known as the “911 Power to the Peaceful” festival as it was in 2007, this year’s effort allowed you to hear about Aloysius Weasel Bear, and see about how to “connect the dots from Palestine to Pine Ridge,” and wonder about the call-and-response question, “Can you feel me?”

Yoga Tree was in the house to inspire.

And there were 5 or 6 dudes trying to sell you weed brownies.

Of course.
