To do: V-Day shopping, E-waste dropoff, Shakespeare, magnolias, hike & more

  • Magnolias – like the one above – are in full bloom right now at the Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park. “Nearly 100 magnolias, many rare and historic, erupt in a fragrant riot of pink and white from mid-January through March.” Check out more pics
  • Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and some shops on Clement Street are gearing up with a Valentine’s Boutique Stroll even this Saturday from 11am until 5pm. Get a free gift with purchase at Covet Boutique, save 50% at Seedstore clothing, and shop “vintage” Valentine items at Foggy Notion. Plus enjoy drinks and sweets while you shop.
  • Catch a performance of Shakespeare’s “Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” this Saturday at 2pm at the Park Presidio United Methodist Church (4301 Geary Blvd @ 7th Ave), presented by the SF Shakespeare Festival On Tour. Tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for seniors, $1 for kids with proceeds benefiting PPUMC’s Arts and Activism Project, working to create a new performance venue in neighborhood.

  1. Got some old cables and dead small appliances over to Argonne. Glad to have read this. It’s a shame they didn’t do a bit more neighborhood outreach prior to the event.
