Frank Dunnigan, WNP member and columnist. - Our old friend and long-time WNP member, the late Will Connolly, used to say that shopping in San Francisco was a highly geographic activity. Things you might need regularly, such as groceries, newspapers, and aspirin could usually be purchased very close to home mostly within walking distance while major expenditures like automobiles, furniture, and appliances generally required a trip downtown. Everything else (clothing, kitchen curtains, paint/hardware) could often be found somewhere in between. His theory held true for decades, though that is no longer the case. Neighborhood shopping areas, such as 16th Avenue and Irving Street, 22nd and Taraval, 23rd and Clement, 24th and Noriega, 37th and Balboa, and many others, generally contained several different businesses within a couple of blocks: grocery stores, produce shops, bakeries, pharmacies, and laundries/dry cleaners. There were usually a couple of banks, barber shops/beauty salons dotting the area, and there might be a small restaurant and/or a popular neighborhood watering hole nearby. Many people walked to undertake their shopping tasks, though there was also ample street parking in the 1950s and 1960s, when car ownership in the city was becoming nearly universal.

An ode to San Francisco s most underrated park The Panhandle is weird. But I love it. FacebookTwitterEmail An aerial view of Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle in San Francisco. The Panhandle is near the geographic center of the city.Steve Proehl/Getty Images The Panhandle is a pretty weird park when you think about it. It’s unlike most other San Francisco parks, with its long, flat promenade style, in direct opposition to the sprawling hilltops that lay the foundation for most of our city’s green space. It’s absent of amenities like sweeping views and updated bathrooms, though it did finally recently revamp its playground and add outdoor gym equipment both of which have been off-limits for much of the pandemic.

She was jogging on Jan. 4 last year when a car speeding north on Masonic Avenue blew through a red light, hit another car and careened into the park straight at her.

The attack happened when they returned to rob him of his camera, according to court documents filed Tuesday. At a court hearing Tuesday, Tyjone Flournoy, 23, and Thomas Lawrence, 24, appeared to face a series of charges, including attempted robbery and attempted murder charges, but did not enter pleas. The case was delayed to allow prosecutors to bring murder charges in light of the death of 76-year-old Palladino on Monday.
