Part of an occasional series of articles about Sunnyside by SNA members.

Tweeting around Sunnyside

By Estelle Smith

I would not describe myself as much of bird person, bird watcher, or, if you’re cool, a birder. Sure, I enjoy watching and listening to the birds chirp and sing, watching them dive and soar, and even take the occasional dust bath–but a birder, me? Not so much.

Beginning in Spring 2020, the shelter-in-place order has meant that I am, along with many of my fellow Sunnysiders, spending more time outside walking around the neighborhood. I started to notice little critters flickering and crawling on blooming plants and bushes at the Balboa Reservoir and along the city streets.

New business rules in effect Monday

As of Monday May 18, the City will allow retail businesses to operate curb-side pickup service if they obey a set of detailed regulations. Associated manufacturers and suppliers are also included. The regulations include extensive requirements for keeping employees and customers safe while conducting transactions.

This change includes only retail businesses, and not personal service providers–so Sunnyside’s hair salons, barbers, nail salons, spas, eyelash salons, and the like will remain closed for now. Read about Sunnyside’s restaurants that are currently doing business here.

Here is the City’s full order in effect Monday May 18: https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/Summary-of-Operating-Conditions-for-Curbside-Retail-051420.pdf
