SNA is excited to bring the neighborhood garage sale back on September 27th 10am to 2pm! We will be creating a map of participating garages and sharing it with SNA neighbors and beyond. It’s free for SNA members to be listed on the map. For non-SNA members, there is a fee of $10/household. If you would like to be listed as a participating seller, please register here!

The Upper Detroit Steps Mural Project is 60% complete, reports Tad Sky, artist-in-residence. Thanks to Tad and dozens of volunteers, our gray steps are transforming into an iconic piece of community art unlike any other in San Francisco. Volunteers who complete two or more shifts can get a Detroit Steps cap and T-Shirt.
This Labor Day Weekend (Saturday & Sunday, 10am–4pm), volunteers will be back on the steps, and we are seeking creative volunteers to join us for a two-hour shift to paint at 10am, noon, and/or 2pm.
“We are incredibly grateful for the talents volunteers shared so far, and we warmly invite Sunnysiders and others to laugh, paint, and feel the inspiration,” Tad said. These colorful steps—115 in all—will brighten Sunnyside for years to come.”
Where: Upper Detroit Steps, Sunnyside (between Hearst & Detroit)
When: Labor Day Weekend (Sat & Sun, 10am–4pm) + every weekend in September until completion

Our annual Summer Concert was a standing-room-only success!
The Friends of Slow Hearst had a blow-out Fifth Annual Summer Block Party last weekend. Hundreds of people showed up. Who knew there were so many kids in the neighborhood!
Your voice is needed in the search for San Francisco’s next Chief of Police! The Police Commission is actively seeking community input to help shape the qualifications and priorities for this critical leadership role. Your participation is essential to ensure the new chief reflects the values and needs of our city.
This week, there are two opportunities to make your voice heard in person. These meetings, facilitated by Chief Daniel Hahn (retired), are a chance to share what you believe are the most important attributes for the next police chief. Whether it’s a commitment to community policing, transparency, or a specific set of skills, this is your chance to influence the decision.
For those who can’t make it this week, don’t worry—four more meetings are scheduled for mid-September. Keep an eye out for details on those dates.
If you’re unable to attend a meeting, you can still submit your thoughts. The Police Commission and the Mayor’s Office are also reviewing written comments and formal letters. You can send your input to Input-SFPC@ralphandersen.com. Your feedback, along with survey responses, will be considered as part of the selection process.
