by Andrew Dalton on September 17, 2010

As we mentioned yesterday today is PARK(ing) Day, where a bunch of people around the city will be occupying parking spaces in the name of reclaiming public green space, etc, etc. We could sit around and declare this a Bike People vs. Car People thing or whatever, but at the end of the day, it [...]

Actual Parklet (Temporarily) Coming to Fell Street for PARK(ing) Day Tomorrow.

by Andrew Dalton on September 16, 2010

Remember that time some people tried to create a park at the Arco station at Fell and Divisadero? The fact that I still had to dodge motorists in the bike lane on Fell yesterday tells me that those Fix Fell folks haven’t made a whole lot of progress (although not for lack of trying – [...]

Fell & Divis Arco Owner Kind-of Assaulted BP Protester Maybe.

by Andrew Dalton on June 21, 2010

So it turns out the Arco/BP Shutdown party wasn’t just a one time thing and the Facebook Revolutionaries behind the protest are doing this weekly now (who knew?).  More importantly though, last Friday’s protest not only angered a lot of drivers, but it apparently pissed off Arco Station owner Larry Armstrong who, according to facebook [...]

Protest a Bunch of Stuff and Make a Park at the Fell/Divis Arco

by Andrew Dalton on June 10, 2010

At this point we all really hate British Petroleum, right? And in the neighborhood, I think most of us agree that we already hated the Arco at Fell and Divis because that fucking place was really a pain in the ass to pull into and then you had to pay in cash at that stupid [...]
