Sunnyside Greening Day! Sunday December 7 from 9 – 11 am at Congo/Circular Ave

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

We have to do a trash clean-up along Circular! It’s looking really bad, and trash invites trash, as you know BUT Just 30 minutes of your time is invaluable!

So, this Sunday, 9am – 11am, please help the greening team clean up along the fence garden Judson to Monterey. (And while you do this, admire the now-green plants, especially the succulents!)
We’ll meet opposite the Congo triangle, and go west, east, & behind the fence as usual.
Bring sturdy gloves, and pick-up sticks if you have them. (A few have “walked” to other homes.)
Thank you!

District 7’s Participatory Budget Community Meeting on Dec. 8th

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Dear District 7 Community Members,

I hope you will be able to join me this upcoming Monday for District 7’s 2014-15 Participatory Budget Community Meeting. We are calling on neighborhood groups and community members to develop project ideas for $300,000 we set aside for pedestrian safety and quality-of-life improvements in District 7.

Come learn about the projects selected last year that improved open spaces and civic activity in our District, and how you can apply for funding to improve your school, your neighborhood park or your street.

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you about project ideas.  Please stop by on Monday from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the West Portal Playground Clubhouse (131 Lenox) to learn more about Participatory Budgeting and the type of proposals we are accepting.  At the end of March, District 7 residents will get the chance to vote on the final projects to fund.

KICK-OFF COMMUNITY MEETING
Monday, December 8, 2014 | 6:00pm to 7:30pm
West Portal Playground Clubhouse | 131 Lenox Way (between Ulloa and Taraval)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Matthias Mormino at Matthias.Mormino@sfgov.org.

Thank you for taking the time.

See you soon,

Norman Yee

If you have trouble keeping your Thanksgiving turkey tender, we recommend putting in an overnight brine. Out of fridge space? Well, if in a pinch, why not try the sidewalk method: slam down your half-frozen bird on the sidewalk in front of your house, as hard as you can, before rubbing the skin with salt, pepper, sage, and olive oil.

Actually, scratch that. Please don’t.

Footage from a cell phone was uploaded to LiveLeak over the weekend, showing a man slamming down a large slab of meat on the sidewalk, just outside of a local restaurant’s storage room. The video has quickly gathered over 60,000 views, just 18 hours after being uploaded.

The video’s description claims that the footage was taken outside of Lucky River Restaurant, a small Chinese place in Sunnyside. The LiveLeaks user, who uses the name torrnado, posted this description along with the video:
