It was briefly not raining this morning, and we were able to get to the #NoeValley farmers market. There were strawberries! They taste even better than they look. There is nothing like fresh local produce.
I hope this weather doesn't cut the season too short.
Just saw on the Planning Commission agenda for next week that Framebridge is planning to open at 3822 24th St between Church and Vicksburg. Haven't walked that block in a while so don't know if there are any signs up.
The lemon shrub-like tree, on the corner of Sanchez and Jersey, is blooming and smells amazing right now.
‘NOE VALLEY — Malaysian restaurant Damansara has (effectively) closed to the public, the San Francisco Chronicle confirms. Opening in 2022, the restaurant has undergone some changes in recent months, first announcing the shift to takeout-only in December 2025, before changing more recently to “by appointment only” for private events, catering, and supper club buyouts, per the Chronicle. Owner Tracy Goh told the paper, “As a private chef now I am much happier cooking for clients who would give me full creative freedom to cook true Malaysian flavors the way I’d cook for my loved ones.”’

A neighbor in need, who has been a wonderful part of the Noe Valley Farmers Market since 2008, and whose family run restaurant is a treasure. If you've enjoyed their food here in #NoeValley or at their restaurant El Buen Comer, please consider chipping in.

Somebody has been blowing up something really loud a few blocks away, every hour, for the last few hours. Here in #NoeValley
Why?!
This last one was a few minutes ago, after midnight, on a Sunday night.
In the pouring rain.
Not confident that I'll get any sleep tonight.
I'm delighted to see that the new-ish bagel place, on Diamond Street in Noe Valley, is closing tomorrow for the National Strike tomorrow. I hope more places in my neighborhood also strike. I'm planning to not spend any money tomorrow (Fri, Jan 30) for the Strike. I'll make art for most of the day.

I found candles, and plan to head outside at 7. Hoping I see lights from neighbors too.
But we have so many tech-bros around us now, that I doubt I'll see anyone else with candles for #Minnesota. Maybe they'll surprise me. I hope so. #NoeValley #sfba
