Comes now the passionate and brusque Jamie Whitaker of Rincon Hill to totally pwn Recreation and Park Department Director and UC Hastings grad and Gavin Newsom lackey Phil Ginsburg.
“One issue that I am hopeful someone will take up is the claim by the Recreation and Parks Department’s Director Phil Ginsburg that “We want as much open space as possible, but we also need to have a way to care for it.” That was his quote in reference to why the City’s Recreation and Parks Department is unwilling to accept the donation of the park built in front of the new Rincon Green Apartments at 333 Harrison Street. Read the article here (hopefully, the shared full article will appear: http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Creating-new-park-no-picnic-for-broke-city-4490422.php?t=27ec6d327d3f99889e
“This is a lie from Phil Ginsburg and it should infuriate everyone who lives in the Rincon neighborhood or nearby. Why do I say it is a lie?”
Read the rest of this over at “Rincon Hill, a san francisco neighborhood blog.”
Hey, speaking of Gavin Newsom lackey Phil Ginsburg, a few years back he had a total boner for this nearby project at Justin Herman and yet NOBODY HAS EVER USED IT EXCEPT FOR OCCUPY SF FOR A FEW MONTHS.
Gavin Newsom lackey Phil Ginsburg must be aware, I mean he’s not stupid, that this bocce thing was/is a big fat waste, but he’s afraid to acknowledge this because then he’d have to get a job in the real world.
Oh well…

Well here’s the statement:
“The San Francisco Housing Authority does not transfer any family to any particular apartment, community, neighborhood or development because of race, color, sex, religion (creed), disability, familial status, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, source of income, or age.”
Of course it’s not true, but that’s the statement.
The point of it is to discourage transfer requests, that’s true.
But they could have phrased it differently, that’s all.

Hell yes.

But for some reason, former Mayor Gavin Newsom moved Heaven and Earth to get this useless monument to Eurocentrism installed before he left office.
And then nobody used it so Occupy took it over.
And then it got restored.
Like a year ago.
And nobody’s used it since.
Oh well.

Our excellent San Francisco Ballet‘s excellent production of The Nutcracker is back again for 2012.
And the reviews are in:
S.F. Ballet Reigns With Nutcracker
Tis the Season
Two ‘Nutcracker’ versions convey tradition
S.F. Ballet presents the classiest ‘Nutcracker’ of all
But all the fun is leaving us on December 28th, 2012, so the time to act is now.
And I should say that you’ll be able to get seats for just $20 and great seats are still available but those great seats will cost you a bit more.
But this show is a must-see, a great annual San Francisco tradition, so what are you waiting for.
And there’s the snow – lots and lots and lots of snow. You won’t believe how much snow:

All right, see you there!

You’re invited to come to Civic Center tonight to see Game Four of the World Series on a makeshift “Jumbotron.”
See you at 5:07 PM (or earlier, to get a good spot if you want to be able to actually see the action unobstructed.)
It’ll look like this, but probably with more Matt Cain than Timothy Leroy Lincecum on the screen:

The SFPD requests (more or less) that you transfer your alcohol to unmarked containers, thusly:
And, oh yes, speaking of the Rec and Park, Remember to Vote No on Proposition B (November 2012), the so-called “Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond”
Why?
Well, because Prop. B is too costly for San Francisco
And also because Reform is Needed at San Francisco’s Recreation and Parks Department.
Also because area lawyer Philip Alan Ginsburg would consider passage of Prop B (November 2012) an endorsement of how he’s running the RPD.
That’s why.
Now, let’s hear from San Francisco Mayor Ron Conway,* after the jump. (Spoiler: He wants you to go to Chipotle’s and spend your money before you blow town.)
PS: The after party will be in the Mission District – spread the word, bring fireworks.
*Poor Sony. It appears that any television-like contraption bigger than 100 inches now gets the generic term “jumbotron.”
Oh well.
“Displays similar to the Jumbotron include:

OMG, your world-class Asian Art Museum is busy busy busy these days.
First up is the origami paper-crane pop-up graffiti bombing of the McAllister wall.
Get all the deets from the Uptown Almanac, the San Francisco Chronicle and KGO-ABC.
Here’s how it’s holding up, last night…
…and the day before:
It’s persevering, huh?
Next up is the closing of the Big Show, check it:
CLOSING THIS SUNDAY
Just as this exhibition has touched upon the fleeting nature of life, it too must come to an end. An expansive exploration of spirituality, cosmic order, and the afterlife, it’s a provocative presentation of both contemporary art and older objects from our collection. The result is a one-of-a-kind journey transcending time and place. Phantoms will go out with a bang: everyone can see it for FREE this Sunday, as part of our Target First Free Sunday.”
I’d recommend showing up early or late on Sept 2, 2012. Feel free to practice your Gangnam Style while waiting in line. Speaking of which, don’t forget about:
“Korean Culture Day 2012
Sunday, September 23
11 am–4 pm
Museum-wide
Free admission”
All the deets on that after the jump.

You’d rarely see this kind of scene ten years ago in the Western Addition, but now you can see it all the time.
Look, there’s room for another little one as well:
