We're happy to appear at street fairs, festivals, and other community events to show old photos of the neighborhood, give out free booklets, and chat with people about west SF history.
We also do slide shows and lectures for community groups, classrooms, preschools, clubs, historical societies, and other organizations who'd like to hear more about topics like the Sunset district, the old Rancho San Miguel, earthquake shacks, and "Carville".
Special walks for WNP members and their guests occur at least quarterly. Past walks have included Lands End, Ocean Avenue, the Parkside District, and Forest Hill. Join the Western Neighborhoods Project and come learn more about these fascinating San Francisco neighborhoods.

Mar 16, 2010 7:00pm-9:00pm (Tuesday) at Balboa Theater
Remembering Playland Movie
"Remembering Playland" will premiere at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco on Tuesday, March 16th at 7:00 PM and 9:15 PM.
This is a full-length documentary by Tom Wyrsch about San Francisco's famous 10-acre seaside amusement park, Playland at the Beach. Located next to Ocean Beach, it was torn down in 1972 to make way for a condominium development. Gone now for more than 3 decades, it remains one of the city's lost treasures. Go back in time to see Laffing Sal, the Fun House, the Carousel, the Big Dipper, the Diving Bell, Dark Mystery, Limbo, Fun-tier Town, and much, much more, all through the eyes of the people that were there. The first and only documentary ever made about Playland.
Balboa Theater, 3630 Balboa Street, San Francisco. 415-221-8184. Additional information and pre-ticket sales: http://www.brownpapertickets.com. Better buy early because this will sell out. -
