Richard Brandi shares some Forest Hill history on the February 21, 2009 member walk. - WNP photoWNP Events Calendar
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.

The facade of the Balboa Theatre has gotten a paint job, the heaters are working... what great presents for the neighborhood theater's 86th birthday.
Presented in association with the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, a night at the movies circa 1926 will be the order of the day. Inspired by Martin Scorsese and Brian Selznick's HUGO, the evening's feature film will be Harold Lloyd's silent classic SAFETY LAST with a 35mm print directly from his granddaughter Suzanne. It will be accompanied with an original score by pianist extraordinaire Frederick Hodges, preceded by a program of short subjects including films by George Melies.
There will also be a live vaudeville show, an illustrated lecture, book signing... and cake!
Advance tickets are on sale at the Balboa and online at www.BalboaMovies.com -
