Please join us for quarterly Sunnyside Clean and Green on Saturday 8/15 from 10am to 12pm!

Thanks to our wonderful neighbors, we had a great year of Clean and Green on Circular Ave and helped remove over 80 bags of trash from our neighborhood! We are kicking off this year’s cleaning on Saturday, May 16th from 10am to 12pm. Please RSVP if you can join for any of our quarterly Clean and Green this year!

Besides the regular trash pickers and bags, we will also have some yard bags so we can do some weeding. So come with your garden gloves if you’ve got some! We would also love to have someone step up to be the cleanup captain in future quarterly cleanups as the Board is now working on a couple other new initiatives for the neighborhood. Please reach out if this is of interest!

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.
