Thank you to those who attended the 17th and Folsom Community Design Workshop on January 23rd! The City is hosting another event this Saturday, February 6th at the 17th and Folsom site. Here are the details:

The City has been working with the community to explore possibilities for an open space on a portion of a parking lot at the corner of 17th and Folsom Streets. City staff has developed initial designs into a series of park alternatives.

Come join us on the site to review these park possibilities, and to give us your feedback on the designs!

Stop by anytime between 11AM and 2PM – stay for a while to check out the site, or just drop by for a few minutes, but make sure we capture your ideas!

Coffee and snacks will be provided!

WHERE: 17th and Folsom site
DATE: Saturday, February 6th

Open space was one of the major issues that MAC was advocating for during the process. PODER (MAC) has been leading the campaign to have the city buy the land from the PUC sooner rather than later.

Did we outgrow that?

Start at 16th & So Van Ness, the hell hole where just yesterday a man was found strangled, and the 250 people living there claimed to have seen nothing out of the ordinary. Indeed.

I seem to get mildly dyslexic when trying to orient old photos.

Pre 1906 — luggage manufacturing, woodworking and a saloon (big surprise, I know — and better yet, Enterprise Brewing was across Folsom).

Post 1906 — don’t have access right now to my usual sources, but here’s a 1929 picture looking east on 17th (that’s the Digipop building on the right) and a 1927 shot looking north on Folsom (Digipop on left) both of which of course don’t show the corner I want.

The 1926 SF Coast Survey map shows a building on that corner so it wasn’t an empty lot then. I can see a sign on the left of the 1929 shot but I can’t make it out.

Sure, there’s a cafe on Folsom on the other side of 17th, and there’s a cafe on 16th at Folsom, but really, we need more cafes.
