It’s 7:40 a.m., 59°, and going up to 65°. Here’s what the weekend looks like.
We hope your weekend is off to a good start. Whether you’re headed to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, the Mission’s open studios, or this evening’s MAPP, there is plenty of art and music on offer around town this weekend.
The Bay Guardian takes a stroll through Mission Creek’s houseboat community — how it used to be and what it’s like today. Excerpt:
“On a recent visit, I am shown a residence festooned with skulls and racks of antlers, another with windowboxes full of carnivorous plants, and another with a ghoulishly grinning blowfish decorating the front door.”
And we’re happy to find out that “After recently renewing a lease with the Port Authority, however, the boaters should be sitting pretty till at least 2043, to the nightly sounds of shrieking egrets and Giants fans alike.”
And C.W. Nevius thinks that tourists who come to San Francisco should be taught how to deal with homeless people:
“In San Francisco, information could be available at hotels, on public transit, and in tourist packets sent out to conventioneers that would lay out the facts — the city spends enormous sums on homeless outreach and money given to panhandlers does more harm than good.”
