The Mysterious Rack’s second store at 12 Clement Street
Happy hump day Richmond District! Here are some local links to keep you humming.
- A second location of the Mysterious Rack vintage clothing store is opening at 12 Clement Street this weekend (original location is at 3423 Balboa at 35th Ave). The store will host a grand opening party this Friday at 8pm, so stop in to check out their new digs. Both locations also offer alterations and tailoring services.
- The new 5 Fulton Limited service pilot will begin at the end of October according to a recent progress report from the SFMTA (Sec. 2.2.2). The 5L would run during peak commute hours in the morning and evenings, Monday through Friday, and would make all stops from Ocean Beach to 6th Avenue, and then limited stops until from 6th Avenue until it reaches Van Ness Avenue. More info from a previous story.
- Parking for the Clement St. Farmer’s Market just got a little easier, thanks to Roosevelt Middle School who will offer $5 parking in their school lot every Sunday from 8:30am until 3:30pm. Drive into the lot from Palm Ave. between Euclid and Geary, and you can access the farmer’s market on foot via the school’s Arguello gate. And for those of you wondering, the Farmer’s Market has been approved to continue every Sunday from 9am until 2pm until November 24, 2013 with a hearing for a further extension on October 24.
- Need a great hat for your Halloween costume or looking for a great hat to BUILD your costume around? Check out the annual hat sale at Paul’s Hat Works at 6128 Geary, where you can pick up a vintage or costume hat for $1 – $80. They’re open Tuesday through Sunday from 10am until 6pm.
- Got your dancing shoes on? Stop by Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church (417 31st Avenue) on the 3rd Friday of every month at 7pm for a family folk dance night. The fee is a sliding scale $5-$10 per family, and no experience is necessary. Dances are taught by an elementary school dance teacher.
- Mark your calendars for our next Sunday Streets on October 27 which for the FIRST time will take place on Clement Street between Arguello and Funston (and on Arguello from Fulton to Clement; view map). Also during Sunday Streets, the Farmer’s Market will expand from 2 blocks to 4. The entire route will be closed off to cars to maximize care-free frolicking.
- There’s a new “art cave” in the neighborhood (translation: garage converted into an impromptu art gallery). The Cabrillo Art Cave will have art and artisanal crafts for sale, and will be an opportunity for visitors to meet some local artists. They’ll be open this Friday through Sunday in conjunction with Hardly Strictly, so stop by 925 Cabrillo (between 10th and 11th Avenues) between 11am and 5pm to check it out. Not sure on hours after this weekend, but their website says “We open for nice weather and Events.”

I am a huge fan of the Richmond, the neighborhood blog and Sunday Streets. I am so excited for Sunday Streets to finally highlight the Richmond – the BEST neighborhood in SF! If any one has any ideas, questions, or concerns about the the upcoming event, the Sunday Streets staff is holding weekly community meetings at Toy Boat Dessert Cafe (Clement @ 5th Ave) EVERY Tuesday this month at 6pm. Please show your support by attending one of the three remaining meetings… or please share your concerns by attending – there could be others who have the same opinions and we’d love to know about them. Looking forward to an incredible event later this month!
If you have a creative activity or physically-active focused business or activity you’d like to promote, host and share on the day of the event, the community meeting is a great place to get more information. So, artists, musicians, yogis, bicycle handy people, dancers, non-profits, etc who are Richmond based, we are interested in hearing from you!
As always, Sunday Streets is majority volunteer run. So if you’re looking for something fun to do in your neighborhood while being a part of something awesome that gives back to the community, we are always looking for volunteers for pre-event prep and day-of event positions! A three-hour shift scores you a free swanky Sunday Streets t-shirt and a delicious lunch from a local restaurant… on us! You’ll also be invited to our super fun end of the year volunteer appreciation shindig in November. It’s never too late to get out and get active!
