Eyes on the Street: Lounging on a Reclaimed Valencia Street

Swinging through SF for a few days, Streetfilms producer Clarence spotted a nice setup at yesterday's Sunday Streets in the Mission. Harrington's, an antique furniture store, used some of  its sofa inventory to create a comfortable little music venue on Valencia Street.

Swinging through SF for a few days, Streetfilms producer Clarence spotted a nice setup at yesterday’s Sunday Streets in the Mission. Harrington’s, an antique furniture store, used some of  its sofa inventory to create a comfortable little music venue on Valencia Street.

“People were encouraged to just sit in it,” said Clarence, noting that “tons of music” on SF’s streets “provided a nice laid back vibe we don’t see nearly as much in NYC.”

It’s always great to see the creative ways merchants find to embrace Sunday Streets — it’s good for business, good for health, and good for building community.
