Castro/EVNA

Thanks to PG&E, 18TH street between Market and Hattie has been a total mess since September. Before starting such work, could we have some information from the City or the DPW (http://bsm.sfdpw.org/maps/ProposedPaving.pdf) ? The local newsletter/newspaper should be notified.

It seems like 18TH street is going to get much more work done in 2012, from Diamond to Noe, if this map (http://bsm.sfdpw.org/maps/ProposedPaving.pdf) is accurate.

The Castro needs more retail stores to make for all the stores that closed recently. Hopefully the Levi's store will stay for a while.

EVNA is partnering with Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association (DTNA) to host a mayoral candidates forum. This is sure to be a popular and crowded event, doors open at 6:30. EVNA/DTNA has obtained commitments from nine mayoral candidates to participate. This is a great opportunity for you to question and hear what the candidates intend to bring to their administrations.

This is the 20th annual Pink Saturday. When Pink Saturday started there was a wonderful carnival atmosphere for the gay and lesbian community to celebrate the culture/lifestyle. In the last few years has degenerated into an uncontrolled free-for-all that has less and less to do with GLBT and overtaken by people looking for a place and excuse to party, be drunk and worse.
