Shoppers and moviegoers rejoice! The parking meters along Balboa Street were recently changed from 1 to 2 hour parking. Now you can take a little more time to run your errands, and even catch a flick without having to circle and circle for non-metered parking.
This change affects meters directly in front of the theater but also extends outwards, impacting more than 100 parking meters.
This week’s Balboa Theater newsletter had this to say about the changes:
We have the office of Supervisor Eric Mar to thank for this improvement. Additionally, we would like to thank every single nearby business that signed on for this change. It was a wonderful example of community unanimity.
The Balboa’s Owner, Gary Meyer, and San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation, President, Alfonso Felder, helped lead the charge while the entire Balboa staff had worked hard in this outreach effort with exceptional effort by manager, Adam Levy and crew members Andy Leung and Sean Sanford. We hope that this change makes coming to The Balboa that much easier and are exhilarated to demonstrate in our own local way that Change is Possible!
So start stashing more quarters in your ashtray and head out to catch a movie and a meal on Balboa. Right now “Couples Retreat” starring Vince Vaughan, and Michael Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story” are playing. Opening October 23 is the biopic “Amelia” about Amelia Earhart, and starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere. Check out the “Amelia” trailer below and all Balboa Theater showtimes here.
