Splash Pad News – September 2022

2022 September, News, Newsletter · September 1, 2022

 
Grand Avenue Merchant News – September 2022
by Ken Katz – We’re thrilled to report that the Knimble space on Grand Avenue has just been leased. The new tenant, ReLove, already has a very successful location on Polk Street in San Francisco which their website describes as:  A re-sale boutique offering a curated mix of vintage, designer, and independent labels. We hand select each item and pour love, care and style into each offering. We are more than a resale shop. ReLove is a community space to spark your imagination, push you beyond your style limits, welcome you with a warm smile, get to know you and encourage you to get rid of what no longer serves you. We don’t believe in excess consumerism of poor clothing we believe in style.

Lakeshore BID – September 2022 Highlights
by Kira Pascoe – Hipline hosted an outdoor Sunshine, Shop, and Social on August 13th. This social gave exposure to local entrepreneurs and reminded us of all the exquisite talent and diversity we have of art, food, jewelry, and more.

Having Inadequate Mental Health Services is Insane
by Ken Katz – Last month, I reported that “Howard,” a homeless individual whose behavior on Lakeshore and Grand has long been extremely disruptive and destructive, was apparently hospitalized for several months and was now back on the streets. I predicted that, without supportive housing, his behavior would rapidly deteriorate, and that’s exactly what has occurred. One business owner on Grand said he’d exposed himself to her which has been an ongoing problem.  Abebe Lemma, the longtime Lakeshore BID Security Guard advised that Howard urinates and defecates in public during the day. Even more concerning is that he has blood in his urine and other obvious signs of being physically ill.   CONTINUE READING

Advancing Food Justice – by Andy Naja-Riese – The Grand Lake Market just celebrated a ribbon-cutting for an Incubator Booth designed to help advance food justice, health, and community resilience. The Agricultural Institute of Marin (AIM), Kitchen Table Advisors (KTA), and the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association (ALBA) have launched this cross-organizational farmers market incubator program for BIPOC, first-generation farmers who have traditionally lacked access to direct-to-consumer market streams. The program is designed to support a total of 27 ALBA farmers and KTA clients over the next three years, helping them explore and expand into farmers market channels. The program creates an opportunity for these farms to sell at three of AIM’s farmers markets over the course of a year, with participants rotating through each location.   CONTINUE READING
