Adam Greenfield recently produced a video with the Neighborhood Empowerment Network covering the first Inner Sunset farmers market back on June 7th.

As expected, the Farmer’s Market was a hit!  

As an aside, there are more Farmer’s Markets to come in San Francisco, including one coming to the Outer Sunset as well!

Adam also founded the Inner Sunset Neighborhood Group of Facebook, which he still helps run.

Through the Facebook page, several hundred members have a steady stream of information to keep in touch with the Inner Sunset neighborhood. The group also organizes monthly social gatherings, which have gotten a great response since they began last December.

The community is really taking off now. And if you live in the Inner Sunset, I’m sure you’ll enjoy being a part of it!

OK folks, I have to apologize for being gone so long without even the slightest explanation. 

At the begining of June, I had a hernia repair surgery (I actually had hernias in a few places.) 

Needless to say, I needed a few days to recover, but honestly, it took me WAY longer than I expected.  

And, in addition to just getting my strength back, I ended up with superficial thrombophlebitis of my right arm (which is basically a giant swollen hardened painful vein.) 

So, in a nutshell, this here San Francisco real estate blog and The City Update(TM) – SF’s Friendliest Real Estate Newsletter were put on hiatus. 

I still worked, but kept it light and made many more phone calls and sent many fewer emails, and unfortunately, put both the blog and the SF newsletter on hold. 

The nice thing?  Many of you actually missed me!  I got several emails asking if everything was ok!  And that folks, reminded me why I do this.

It’s not just about SF real estate, it’s about the relationships I build with my readers – both personal AND virtual. 

Postings will still be light over the next week or so, but both my hernia(s) and the painful vein in my arm are on the mend, so you should be seeing a few more postings here and there, and within another 2–3 weeks, I should be back to my normal posting schedule AND to the regular weekly edition of The City Update(TM) – SF’s Friendliest Real Estate Newsletter.

Urbia Adventure League kicks off the first Saturday of Summer!

View the city from secret hilltops where butterflies delight via a new adventure booklet

What: Unveiling of new sense-of-place seasonal treasure hunt for San Francisco families

When: This Saturday, June 27th, drop-in between 10 a.m. and noon to pick up a free adventure packet

Where: Starting at the bottom of the colorful mosaic stairway at 16th Avenue and Moraga Street

This summer, a staycation opportunity debuts in the form of a new series of outdoor “sense of place” treasure hunts for families. Urbia Adventure No.1 is being offered for free and guides you to numerous surprises as families work as a team to solve riddle-like clues in a booklet titled “Islands in the Sky.” Adults and children together sharpen their abilities to read the natural landscape features easily missed in this urban environment and enhance their future travels in the city or out in the wild.

Unlike traditional guided tours, Urbia Adventure League offers themed, seasonal adventures-by-mail that allow you to decide when to go and who to bring along. The tools: an adventure booklet, a pencil and a team’s collective wits and senses. The rewards: serendipity, a deeper “sense of place” in San Francisco, and fun team-building. Each journey is an experience to treasure, and a hidden box at the end contains an added reward for finding your way by solving the clues in this new booklet.

Following his recent outing, travel writer Larry Habegger remarked “Finally I discovered that amazing wild land in the heart of the Sunset and got to explore it with my family. My girls can’t wait for our next Urbia adventure.”

Upcoming booklets will explore rocky outcrops near Twin Peaks and a unique „green‟ corridor in the Mission District. Subscriptions to the Urbia Adventure League benefit San Francisco non-profit Nature in the City.

For more information about this new San Francisco tradition, please visit www.urbikids.com or contact Damien Raffa by calling 415.992.8141, or email@urbikids.com.
