“First time here, what a great venue! The show was stellar! It was the debut and the cast did a great job! Absolutely loved the interaction with the audience! What an entertaining evening.”

“So much to see and experience! Everything is well kept and well laid out. They also had some interesting side art exhibits to see when I visited as well as kid friendly zones. Lots of parking too. It was my first time there but my family and I had a great time!”

“Fort Mason Center is a great place to spend a few hours with the family. Beautiful waterfront views, plenty of open space to walk around, and a relaxed atmosphere away from the crowds.

Grab a coffee, enjoy the bay, and let the kids explore the area. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a laid-back afternoon in San Francisco.”

“I've been here a few times and I've been impressed each time. I've worked at a few bike shops as a mechanic so I like to think I know my stuff, but this last time I came in I was very impressed. I didn't know that different brands of headsets use different angle sealed cartridge bearings, and using a lower crown race with the wrong angle won't work... but the guy here knew that and even helped me find and check the right one. He also knew right where the 12x100 through axle wheels were for my build. Found one that looked hardly used for $80 Bike DIY heaven.”

“Had a great time on Call of the Seas overnight voyage to Santa Cruz. Crew worked well together and were very helpful showing the passengers about the workings of the boat. Everyone was friendly and I will definitely be going on another voyage.”

“I wandered into this little boutique while my brother was getting his eyebrows threaded next door, and somehow walked out with one of my favorite memories. The moment I stepped inside, I felt the magic of the place. I'd never seen a shop like this with every piece feeling like it had a soul. I collect artistic cards, so of course I gravitated straight toward the displays and picked one out. Important detail: I hate carrying purses. So my cards and cash live chaotically in my pockets. Reckless? Yes. Will do ? Also yes. So when I go to pull out my debit card, my ID shot out like it had somewhere better to be and slipped perfectly under this massive bookcase. I knelt down to assess the situation--an inch-wide slot leading into a dark abyss. Purse: 1. Me: 0. I briefly told the employee what happened explaining why I was all of a sudden on all fours face to face with the ground, completely expecting maybe a shrug. But Instead, he immediately started removing items, trying to shift the entire bookcase, going above and beyond to retrieve my ID. But it was quickly apparent the it was mission impossible to which I fully accepted. But his pure kindness and concern really touched me and we just quickly started talking about the story behind the boutique. Amazing story, and I ended up buying a handmade cup after the fact. And I'd love to say their kindness inspired me to buy a cup, but let's be honest: I bought it because I felt guilty. (...Though I had been eyeing it before my ID made its dramatic escape so I really did want it). Now that cup sits on my bookcase, and every time I see it, I think of how what could've been a gloomy experience turned into one of my sweetest little memories. And yes, I know I'm making this sound more dramatic than it probably was. But 1) you'd remember this shop too if you stepped foot inside, and 2) I do have a history of unintentionally disturbing the peace in small shops, to which my guilt makes it mandatory to make a purchase, only for those "guilt purchases" to become some of my most treasured things.”

“Thank goodness for the wonderful place. Full of activities. A wealth of resources and information. The best secret restaurant in town. Become a member today for only $45 and meals are only $8. The best catering company in town. Master chef- Stacy catered our wedding 18 years ago. Yummy!!”

“Hi everyone! My name is Kimberly, and I joined Opening the World in the fall of 2024. This was my first year traveling with the group, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I have ever had. I had never traveled outside of the US or explored any states besides Nevada.

This past summer, I participated in our US road trip, where we visited many states and saw beautiful sights. I learned so much during this trip. We even volunteered for the Navajo tribe during their annual Sun Dance ceremony, which was a wonderful experience.

I am incredibly grateful to have met Jeannine and the rest of the OTW team, as this program has significantly expanded my social networks and opened my eyes to the world around me. I plan to continue my involvement with Opening the World and look forward to volunteering with the community and traveling again this upcoming year.

I want to thank Jeannine for everything. She is such an amazing and kind person, and throughout the trip, she did so much to ensure that everyone felt safe and comfortable. It honestly made us feel connected as a community.

Here are some of my favorite photos that I took!”

“I know I'm quite odd and very strange, but if you like them, you're appreciated for all the help. Greetings to San Francisco and whoever else may be receiving thanks.?❤️???”

“I think the square is very good. However, they do not protect their users from scammers, the way I feel they should. People are out here buying products, getting the completed products, and then asking for a refund and Square is giving it without even asking any questions.”

“A great time,a charity organized

venew,beautiful gardens,perfect

“GDB does a great job raising and taking care of dogs. As a care provider they take appts for their dogs and the vet team does a great job monitoring the dog's history. Just brought dog in to take care of allergy and itch related issue and picked up monthly heartguard medicine, weighed, nails clipped and got some antibacterial soap and mint toothpaste. We're ready for the weekend”

“Internet Archive HQ offers a free tour on Friday afternoons (it's about an hour long). I highly recommend it to anyone. The tour is engaging, and the great people who work and volunteer here are so clearly passionate about the incredibly important work they do. Public availability of knowledge is an important issue that affects everyone, and we all have a role to play in it whether we know it yet or not. You'll come out of your visit here having learned something empowering.”

“I went in there and was a mess, man at the front door made me feel better. Thank gosh I was assigned to kaleche, and she has been so patient and kind and helpful during this whole horrible process. I can't report on the outcome cuz I'm still in the middle of it but I'm hopeful that with support from this agency we will get it resolved”

“While I was on my job search, Rich at Bloom Marin helped me put together a professional wardrobe that gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. This is a photo of myself & Stella, the bulldog. Stella is pictured at the donation entrance to Bloom. The suit I am wearing was selected by Richard & photographed by my mother Tamra Phillips. We ❤️ Bloom Marin. ★★★★★”

“When the 6th st harm reduction/exchange was closed (on Mondays now btw) this is where they redirected me. The staff was so super friendly and helpful. There were not many people there and inside there is a small table and a few chairs if you want to sit for a short bit. They have all the same gear and supplies as 6th Street as well as groups and services for interested folks. Very chill atmosphere. Always supportive and informative. ??”

“I am beyond grateful for the Ritter Center, I recently became a patient here again after many years, I can't express in words enough how much I appreciate all the staff working here, It seems as if who ever has been in charge of hiring the staff has been very thoughtful and specifically selected them to create a very healthy/inclusive work place environment and culture, everyone from the security guard to the doctors have been nothing but the up most professional while keeping a sense of empathy and compassion, I personally have never felt so heard and valued as a patient, the staff seem to enjoy working together and do a great job of communicating, that energy is felt when waiting and it makes the difference between a positive or negative experience. The past couple months have been especially challenging for me, from physical to mental health I've had un expected hurdles, I felt I could not handle alone and really felt lost for a moment, My skepticism of western medicine and negative past experiences created these negative pre conceived ideas towards doctors, which made it hard to trust and ask for help, I am so glad I did and found a sanctuary in Ritter Center that has been a vessel for healing in my life, my views have been changed for the better, I feel more comfortable than ever honestly discussing my medical concerns with my doctor's, My psych Katt seems to have the special special ability of making everyone feel seen, people feel comfortable each in their unique way, in such manner that they feel inclined to allow themselves to be seen, it's refreshing to hear a western doctor embrace blending eastern ways of viewing over all health and vitality, her duality of being very in tune with spirituality and grounded logical thinking make her a valuable asset to a diverse range of walks of life. My primary care Dr.Dunn has treated me with grace and patients I've never been given in the past, I really feel like she has given me face value and does not treat me different cause of my age or back round, she is compassionate and seems to have a lot of real life experience as well as seems passionate about her knowledge of medicine, she took the extra time and effort to get me the help I needed in a much dire time, my mental and over all health is in such a better place because of them, I can't express in words how how grateful I am for everyones continued effort in making Ritter a great place. No chat gbt)”

“This place is a lifesaver and we appreciate the volunteers so much! My husband needed a walker, shower transfer chair, and a commode and we were able to pick these items up for free with one trip. Now that we're done with them, we cleaned them thoroughly and gave them back. We saved hundreds of dollars vs buying all of these items new. THANK YOU!!”

“Second-to-none: This is restaurant-quality food (thanks, Chef!) and world-class hospitality! As a former restaurant manager, I'm hard to please. City Hope will feed your stomach & brighten your light! ☀️ Stay blessed! ?? ?”

“I have been a member for many years. Still now I find it very pleasant to be part of it. Everyone is friendly. The place is very clean, great swimming pools. The whole building is beautiful, very relaxing atmosphere, other members are nice and friendly , who can ask for anything else.! Great place to be a part of .”

“This Process is a once in a life time experience. The investment sounds like an extraordinary amount, I realize, yet, it will be the best financial investment you will ever make for yourself, your spouse and your children or your future life. This is a generation upon generations investment. You will never be the same. No one ever could have convinced me this would be true by words. When “they” say process, they mean deep deep rooted improvement to your very being. I challenge anyone to take this leap for yourself. The best money I have ever spent.”

“Art Works Downtown in San Rafael is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Located in a stunning, former opera house with a maze-like layout, it offers a unique setting to explore, making the venue itself a work of art. But what truly sets it apart is the community of artists. They are so kind and inviting, and openly share their passion for their craft. You'll find a diverse range of artistic styles represented here, making it an enriching experience for any art lover.”

“Following in the tradition of Donaldina Cameron by being a sanctuary for the SF Chinatown community. It's equal parts training and equipping the next generation in Christ and engaging in powerful community activism. Plus they make a mean hot dog(or hamburger) at their annual May fundraising carnival ????”

“This work is about service & care for the families who call Tenderloin their home. Amazing work with God's Love!
You will be loved in this lighthouse. God is Love!”

“Our tour guide was a very sweet older woman who knew her stuff. She was able to point out small details, and because we were such a small group, she entertained our questions.”

“I attended an event to hear the Sacramento DA, Thien Ho and Dion Lim speak about the arrest the Golden State Killer! I also had the opportunity to meet one of the killer's early victims who went on to create a non profit organization, Phyllis' Garden with one of the other victims. So moving hearing her story!”

“If I was told i'll ever meet a forex and binary trader as legit and honest like you I will probably not believe because of the bad experience I have had before trying to invest and been scammed multiple times, but someone recommended him to me, I was so much in doubt and didn't want to lose more, but this time I choose to invest little and I invested $1,000 and in just a week Ma'am Magdalene James helped me earn $8,500 and so I kept investing more and today am financially successful, contact her now on;”

“Spur has its roots in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, when city leaders collaborated to improve housing quality. Today, SPUR is a non-profit organization that focuses on areas such as sustainability and resilience, transportation, economic justice, and good governance.Attending Spur events is a great opportunity to get involved with the brightest minds in the Bay Area community. This is a place of exchanging ideas on topics ranging from feasibility studies regarding commercial real estate conversion to housing, addressing the issue of 90 dB loud noise during BART work commutes, incentives for revitalizing San Francisco's downtown and many others.I love Spur!”
