ColeValleySF Seeks Volunteer Writers

1/31/2013

Comments

 
Picture

ColeValleySF is a website dedicated to the Cole Valley neighborhood and its' residents. Here, we are a resource of information - everything Cole Valley (and sometimes a little bit Upper Haight and Inner Sunset). 

The ColeValleySF Team is seeking volunteer writers! We want this blog to be the best it can be and need a few more cooks in the kitchen, if you know what we mean. We are looking for volunteers who have a good writing voice and are interested in writing about local neighborhood stories. Some story examples include:
  • spotlighting local businesses (new and old)
  • reporting for an event (i.e. Cole Valley Street Fair in September)
  • local news stories
  • photo walks and other adventures


All are welcome to apply, however we prefer those living in Cole Valley neighborhood, are good writers and have a general interest in Cole Valley and of course writing. We are looking for writers who can commit to a minimum 1-2 hours per month and maybe more if it works out. 

So you want to apply? Awesome!! Please send us a writing sample (no academic papers please, a blog writing sample is just fine), any blog ideas you might have for ColeValleySF, and a little bit about yourself and why you want to write for us! Send all this to: colevalleysf.webmaster(at)gmail(dot)com.

Got more questions? Feel free to email us and ask us via email or tweet at us on Twitter (@colevalleysf).

Thanks for your interest and we'll get back to you soon!

Best,

The ColeValleySF Team

New AT&T Towers in Lower Haight

1/31/2013

Comments

 
New cell towers were installed in the Lower Haight (the rooftop of 255 Steiner to be exact) recently. Many AT&T customers, like myself, probably received this lovely message from them stating:

"AT&T is dedicated to keeping you connected where you live, work and play. We thought you'd be excited to hear that we've expanded coverage in San Francisco by building a new cell site...New towers are just part of our drive to give you clear calls, reliable connections and fast speeds."

While this brings exciting news to residents of the Lower Haight, not sure if Cole Valley and Upper Haight neighbors will benefit much. Have you seen a difference?

Police and FBI Raid on Page & Masonic

1/30/2013

"Federal and local law enforcement officers searched a home in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood Tuesday as part of a renewed probe into the 1984 disappearance of 10-year-old Kevin Collins, but found little except apparent animal bones, authorities said." - The San Francisco Chronicle

On Tuesday afternoon, Police and FBI raided a house at the corner of Page and Masonic in search of the remains of a missing person case. Not sure what prompted this new investigation some 29 years after Kevin Collins disappeared.

 After researching a bit about Kevin Collins (thanks to Wikipedia), I found out that he gained national attention as one of the first missing children to appear on milk cartons and national press like Newsweek. On February 10th 1984, Kevin left basketball practice early and waiting for the 43 Muni bus (Oak and Masonic) when he disappeared. Supposedly the man who used to live at the Page and Masonic corner was a key suspect in Kevin Collins case but authorities did not provide any more detail. 

Hours of investigation and loud helicopters hovering overhead, it ended with police only finding animal remains in the backyard rather than the remains of the missing boy.

Fire at Waller and MasonicĀ 

1/29/2013

There was a house fire on Monday night around 8pm. From photos on Twitter, it looks like the fire affected 1327 and 1333 Waller buildings. Yup those beautiful Victorian ladies.  Some of the buildings are all board up and definitely look a bit charred. Thanks to folks at Uppercasing, seems as though the trash bin adjacent to the house was on fire and then spread to the houses. Not sure what was in the trash bin that caused the fire but might want to just make sure we aren't dumping gasoline or hazardous materials in our trash bins. Yikes!

For more info and photos check out Uppercasing's article.
