Dandelion is the new chocolate shop on Valencia. This Valentine’s Day, they’re doing something fun:

On Valentines day from 12pm to 5pm, Pam DeLuco from Shotwell Paper Mill (www.shotwellpapermill.com) will be offering free to the public the opportunity to letterpress print valentine cards on paper made from recycled Dandelion cacao sacks. Each person can add to the phrase: “I love it when….”

Dandelion will have Valentine boxes and treats inside the store.

Cute! More info here.

P.S. Valentine’s Day just happens to be Mission Mission’s anniversary too, so feel free to make us a Valentine

Another step in the long hike toward a completely upgraded Dolores. (Wherein the 20th and Church overlook becomes all fancy instead of all janky.) Dolores Park Works highlights some changes:

• The North Restroom is now closer to the playground.
• The steps to down to the abandoned 19th Street J Church stop are  now persevered.
• The South Restroom will not have a living roof.
• The 18th Street entrance to the maintenance yard is now closer to Church Street to preserve the flow of the 18th Street lawn.

Have a look:
