Meet the Author: Amy O’Hair Signs Her New Sunnyside History Book This Saturday!
Big news for local neighborhood history buffs: Sunnyside’s own Amy O’Hair has a brand-new book out, and you can get your copy signed in person this weekend.
Swing by Railroad Expresso this Saturday at 11:00 am, right after the Coffee with the Board meetup, and Amy will be there to sign copies and chat about the neighborhood’s hidden history.
The book is called History Walks in Sunnyside: Neighborhood Paths through San Francisco’s Past, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: five color-coded walking routes through the neighborhood, each packed with short, easy stories about the people, houses, and streets you pass along the way. Expect guide maps, QR codes linking to deeper stories online, and an index for looking up specific topics later. At 165 pages in a pocket-friendly 5×7 softcover, it’s basically built for tucking into a bag before a walk.
The book publishes July 23, 2026, priced at $23, in a 165-page softcover, and it will be available to order soon through the Sunnyside History Project site.
Amy has been living in Sunnyside for many years and has been digging up neighborhood stories since 2015 through the Sunnyside History Project, the site behind hundreds of posts on everything from vanished creeks to the people who shaped these streets, read by thousands of visitors every year.

Join the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association Events Committee
Love Sunnyside Halloween, the Spring Fest, and the clean-up days? These events don’t organize themselves — they take neighbors willing to plan, coordinate, and show up. We’re forming an Events Committee to make it happen, and to make our neighborhood gatherings even more social and connected.
New volunteers welcome. No experience required.
