Washington Square is a park in the North Beach district of San Francisco, California, and is one of the city’s first parks, established in 1847. A popular destination for visitors and locals alike, this lively urban oasis is bordered by sidewalk cafes and restaurants such as Mama's (restaurant) and the Liguria Bakery as well as the Sts. Peter and Paul Church. The Square is a natural community gathering place with a long and fascinating history, hosting festivals, free movie nights and other special events throughout the year.HistoryJasper O’FarrellWashington Square Park, now the heart of North Beach, has been many things over the years. Juana Briones grew potatoes and raised cattle here, before Jasper O’Farrell laid out San Francisco’s street grid in 1847, and designated this block a city square. Later, neglected by the city, it was used as an unofficial dump bordering a cemetery. Improvements came slowly, but by the 1860s, it was used for Fourth of July celebrations, and later the square hosted Columbus Day celebrations and Italian festivals.Originally, it was a complete rectangle, all the way to Powell Street. But in 1873-1875, the City built Columbus Avenue, then known as Montgomery, cutting through the Square. The avenue was built, evidently, because business and banking interests in the Financial District wanted greater interaction with North Beach, which was isolated, geographically, by the hills, the Barbary Coast, and Chinatown.Ben FranklinThe Base of the statue is a Temperance fountain donated in 1879 by Temperance crusader Henry D.

The Tinkering Studio is an immersive, active, creative place at the Exploratorium where museum visitors can slow down, become deeply engaged in an investigation of scientific phenomena, and make something—a piece of a collaborative chain reaction, for example—that represents their ideas and aesthetic. In the Tinkering Studio, visitors are invited to explore a curiosity-driven exhibit, chat with a featured artist, or investigate a range of phenomena with staff artists, scientists, educators, and others by participating in a collaborative activity. A large, eclectic assortment of materials, tools, and technologies are provided for people to use as they explore and create. The goal of the Tinkering Studio is to support the creative ideas of museum visitors, external collaborators, and staff. It provides a place where people can explore together in meaningful ways that revolve around visitors’ ideas, questions, and explorations, enabling them to build an evolving understanding of the world.

A New Type of Rural Development Starts in the Tropics As world demand for food, fiber, feed and fuel outpaces supply, increases in production are urgently needed. These needs must be achieved while maintaining and rebuilding forests and fisheries, as well as slowing the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Tropical nations hold the greatest potential to produce more food for the planet. By increasing the productivity of already-cleared land and building on recent successes in slowing deforestation, we can feed more people while ending deforestation and mitigating climate change. At Earth Innovation Institute, we foster this transition to low-emission rural development – a shift to economic growth that keeps forests and fisheries intact and rewards farmers, ranchers, and fishermen for using sustainable practices.

Canine Cove, once called Howling Hollows, stemmed from a very simple idea. Creating a warm place, for good company and a place to relax and find your north. It sounds like a simple order. Remarkably so, but we are only promised the pursuit of happiness. You see, a common issue with an artist of many kinds is what to do with a blank canvas. Choosing a direction when you start with nothing. You erase, you start again, and you end with a finished product remarkably unlike what you started with. I, am the owner and this is my creation. More about me can be found at: RiderUnleashed.com. It started as a home for my family and friends. But as life moves on, the idea and the dream evolves and things change and more of what I want and my ideas have materialized in my pursuit for my final product. It started as a wooded forest, and spent time as a warm and sunny beach, even a busy and bustling nightclub and lounge, and has finally found it’s roots as “Furry Reimagined”. What is “Furry Reimagined”? Try to find a beautiful, breath taking, quiet place to take yourself and your significant other. Find a place with warm waves, spots to spend time together, a quiet place to dance together, and a place to relax with those that are like minded. You’ll find that they don’t exist. In a virtual world where sex sells, Canine Cove is a place free of strip poles and covered with the most beautiful romantic and relaxing spots SL has to offer. The furry community has so many things to offer. Beautiful, creative avatars based on common as well as exotic species. Beautiful, creative destinations and themes that I likely would never have thought of. But what I wanted the most… Was a beautiful place that felt like home. So here we are, with private homes, shops, and a movie theater. A chapel for the special day no matter what species or type of couple. I understand that things aren’t always clear cut and fit easily in a box. But here… You’re welcome. Welcome to Canine Cove, Furry Reimagined.

Habitat never gives homes away. When a family applies for one of our homes they must undergo an extensive application process. Our main requirement is that families earn between 40% and 60% of the median income in that county. Once approved the family begins to complete their 500 hours of sweat equity, our version of a downpayment. They complete this onsite, swinging hammers right next to the other volunteers. At the same time they enter our Homebuyer Readiness Program, a series of classes that teaches basic fincancial literacy. These classes are free and open to anyone, not just our partner families. After the home is done, the keys are handed over in a dedication ceremony. The family then owns the house with a zero-interest mortgage and a payment plan setup specifically for their needs.

The Salesian Boys' and Girls' Club was established in San Francisco in 1918 by Fr. Oreste Trincheri initially just for boys. Father came to the North Beach area of San Francisco and found that its atmosphere spawned 60% of the city's delinquency. He realized that the volatile, creative Italian character of the boys that made up the area must have outlets for their energies. The Salesian Boys' Club was the answer. Now serving boys and girls (age 8-18) regardless of race, religion or creed.
