Oh dear. Just days after Brian Austin was stabbed to death at 47th Avenue and Fulton Street, a (homelss!) man was shot yesterday in Golden Gate Park. According to the fuzz, he took a hit at 25th Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive, a little after 11 p.m. No arrests have been made. As for the victim, he is in stable condition. Golden Gate Park? Not so much....

We have mixed emotions about Diane B. "Dede" Wilsey's pet cause, the new M. H. de Young Memorial Museum building. For years the antics surrounding that concourse -- museums moving, buildings being torn down, garages built -- have provided pages and pages of entertainment in the local press. More recently, the unfinished structure loomed darkly over John F. Kennedy drive like an aircraft carrier that somehow made it inland from Ocean Beach (and we're not alone in making that observation). But once we got a chance to look inside and hear from the architects, we admit that a lot of our apprehension fell away.

The on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again fight over the parking garage for the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park is back on following a lawsuit and rally protesting plans to create a southern entrance to the now-being built parking garage, the most controversial aspect of which is the proposal for turning Martin Luther King Drive into a four-lane road from it's current two-lane-ness. The additional two lanes would be for MUNI and garage access only.
