Cracks in the Asphalt


This book is incredible, it is called Cracks in the Asphalt. Just bought it and can't wait to go on an urban garden tour. Maybe our street median project will be in there one day!

It is full of beautiful color photographs of San Francisco community gardens, maps, and other useful information.

Encanto Avenue Gathering for a safer neighborhood

Our first meeting on Monday night for the Encanto Avenue neighborhood watch was a total success. We had many neighbors participate and everyone had an opportunity to talk about their concerns for the street. It was incredible to hear how long some of our neighbors have been on this street and truly a joy to see people meet who had never met before after so many years. Perhaps now we will wave or smile in passing and be able to look out for one another in times of need or emergency.

It was agreed that the next gathering would be to discuss home security.

Check out the SAFE website to learn more.

We are well on our way to creating a cohesive and supportive community!

See you at the next gathering, March 16th at 7pm.
