FROM THE BOARD
A NEIGHBORHOOD
COMES TOGETHER
It’s not often that NOPA makes the news, let alone
twice within a week. One building fire at Divisadero
and McAllister and a second less than a week later
on Haight and Divisadero, displaced nearly thirty of
Martin Almaraz
NOPNA President
our neighbors and three small businesses. We are eternally
grateful for the firefighters who arrived on scene quickly and ensured the
safety of everyone. Personally, I am extremely grateful as the McAllister
building, where the Oasis Cafe is located, was my home not too long ago.
During my time there I got to know nearly every other resident.
Even through all of this, the support and togetherness that everyone
in the neighborhood showed was overwhelming. Numerous grassroots
GoFundMe campaigns popped up almost instantly to help the residents
and businesses affected by both fires. The City, District 5 office, Red Cross,
San Francisco Fire Department, Human Services Agency, and Office of Small
Business all came together in a huge joint meeting to coordinate efforts to
ensure that everyone affected was connected with the help they needed.
On top of that, NOPNA, Divisadero Merchants Association, and Bay Woof
from Bark the Vote, all quickly organized fundraisers to support the residents
with all they could. Anita Beshirs, an artist, friend, and neighbor, partnered
with NOPNA in collecting and distributing funds to all the residents.
One thing is for certain: even with all the fundraising that we pulled
together for each and every displaced resident, nothing compares to
having proper renters’ insurance. For an average of $10 a month, it can
cover nearly everything, from the cost of replacement of all your belongings,
to temporary housing assistance and peace of mind. It protects you and
your belongings from the financial harm that follows tragedies like this
and many others. Personally, I’ve carried renters’ insurance in every
apartment I’ve rented. Although sometimes it feels like I’m throwing
money into the wind, it has helped me recover from a burglary, and that’s
enough for me to believe in it.
It really does take a village — the efforts and collaboration from
people across the neighborhood — to bring all the help we can to our
fellow neighbors in times of need. This is something
special. I’m convinced tha the neighborly love we feel
here is unparalleled in the rest of the City; it’s what
makes NOPA a special place.

HALLOWEEN 2022
Thank you neighbors, volunteers, and sponsors!
issue 3 : 2022 | 3
On Monday, October 31st,
NOPNA celebrated our
15th annual Kids’
Halloween Block Party
centered at Grove and
Lyon Streets.
We began the
evening with an
incredible Halloween
costume contest,
sponsored by long-time
business leaders and residents
Jennifer Rosdail from Jennifer Rosdail Real Estate and
Mollie Poe from Mollie Poe Indigo Real Estate.
Then, as they have done for over ten years, the USF Band
kicked off an active night of trick-or-treating by playing
classics like “Thriller” and “Werewolves of London” to
entertain families. While it was a success and a big night for
young and old, we had the streets cleaned up and looking
spotless by 9pm!
The NOPNA Board extends a huge “thank you” to
everyone who helped make the trick-or-treating a success.
First and foremost, we couldn’t have done it without the
generous neighbors on Grove and Lyon Streets, who
have hosted this wonderful tradition since 2006. We would
also like to thank the many volunteers who monitored the
street barricades, dropped off candy to houses running
low, and helped set up and break down the whole event.
You are all superstars!

EDUCATE TO LIBERATE
is not just about book learning, but
coming to consciousness throughout
one’s life, from childhood to adulthood.
A heartwarming journal entry captured
by Miranda commemorates the
occasion:
We did it! The long and difficult process
of visualizing, thinking, analyzing,
researching etc etc for the mural design
for John Adams has been done! What
a process… Yoga and the inspiration
of creation has kept me from falling
off the edge of exhaustion... We have
an immense job ahead to paint it, but
there is a large hump that we’re over.
We have a reason to be proud. I am
immensely grateful to all the supportive
friends and comrades and the good
spirits of the universe!
disintegrating. The original artists could,
and would, have completely restored
“Our History,” but funding was not
available for mural restoration. It could
possibly be found, however, to paint a
new mural, and so this was the path the
artists pursued.
In the Fall of 1983, the Haight Ashbury
Muralists began a letter-writing
campaign to the city in order to raise
funds to sand, reprime, repaint, and
seal the wall with anti-graffiti varnish,
a product that did not exist a decade
earlier. They engaged community
leaders and procured support letters
from the Director of John Adams,
The Superintendent of Parks and
Recreation (a NOPA resident), and
the Editor of Community Murals
magazine. No response.
In 1984, the Muralists explored an
alternative fundraising angle and
contacted a number of private
foundations, including the San
Francisco Foundation, Zellerbach
Family Fund, and Columbia Foundation.
Rejection across the board.
Finally, in mid-1986, they obtained some
traction with the San Francisco Office
of Community Development’s Mural
Resource Center. Progress!
The following June (1987), the Muralists
achieved a second major victory: the
San Francisco Arts Commission granted
approval for their new design, a hard
requirement given that the mural was
to be painted on city property. The new
design included both a nod to “Our
History” motifs as well as input from
neighbors to capture an updated ethos
of the community – that education
I closed the weathered
manila folder labeled, “Our
History is No Mystery”with a
sense of satisfaction. The intimate
documents that Miranda Bergman
had painstakingly preserved from the
mid-1970s conjured a vivid image of
the young, revolutionary artists on their
quest to illustrate the unsung heroes
and “ordinary” people who defined San
Francisco through the previous decades
and centuries.
And yet, the journey of the John Adams
wall continued. I paused for a moment
and looked with intrigue at the next,
and even more daunting, folder that
waited patiently in the impressive stack
of files: “Educate to Liberate.” What
story would its content reveal? Why was
the epic “Our History” painted over? I
opened it and began leafing through its
antiquated contents.
Through correspondence from the
early 1980s, it became clear that “Our
History” had sadly fallen into a state of
disrepair: the wall was partially covered
in graffiti and the underlying mural was
EDUCATE TO LIBERATE
issue 3 : 2022 | 5
even when much-needed funds did
not arrive when expected). Knowing
now what the Muralists endured to
complete “Educate to Liberate,”
excerpts from the June 1988 dedication
announcement seem particularly
profound:
The extra-long colorful mural you
see springing to life along the corner
of Masonic & Hayes at John Adams
Community College is a NEW
MURAL replacing the well-known but
deteriorated favorite “Our History Is
No Mystery.” It is called EDUCATE TO
LIBERATE, and continues the scene-by-
scene educational aspect of the original
mural. “Our History is No Mystery”
pictured sections of San Francisco
working people’s history which are
left out of the textbooks; it revealed
hidden historical facts. EDUCATE TO
LIBERATE shows scenes from the cycle
of human life, emphasizing ways we
learn throughout life.
Although we mourn the passing of “Our
History Is No Mystery” (it lives on in
slide form!), we are excited by the fresh
new images emerging on the historic
mural site…
We offer “Educate to Liberate” to the
San Francisco (and world) community, in
a joyous celebration of lifelong learning.
With a renewed sense of gratitude
and awe for the many artists who have
contributed to our vibrant community
over the years, I closed the folder and
prepared to tackle the next and final
chapter in the journey of the John
Adams wall: “Educate to Liberate,
Lessons in Community.”
TO BE CONTINUED
Em Minor has lived in NOPA since 2018
and feels fortunate to have experienced the
legacy of the John Adams murals on a daily
basis. She could not have written this article
without the support of Miranda Bergman and
Jane Norling, who dedicated years of their
lives to creating the John Adams murals,
made themselves available to share their
experience and archives, and provided valu-
able feedback on this content.
Painting of the new
mural, led by four of the original
Muralists (Miranda Bergman, Jane
Norling, Vicky Hamlin, and Arch
Williams) and John Adams student artist
Maria Ramos, began with fanfare the
following month. The Street Newspaper
covered the project in an article entitled
“Mural Renewed,” The
Red Victorian hosted a
screening of The People’s
Wall, and SFPD were
enlisted to barricade the
Masonic parking lane
to enable the artists to
project their line drawing
onto the wall.
The project quickly hit
snags, however, that
delayed its completion
by almost a year. The
new design was quite
detailed, and the
uncompromising artists
refused to cut corners in
their labor of love (which

PHOENIX DAY
RISES AGAIN!
For the second year in a row, our neighborhood
came together in mid-October to celebrate Phoenix Day. It’s
a day to commemorate San Francisco’s rise from the ashes of
1906, and it embodies that rising spirit as we all re-establish
our footing after the worst impacts of COVID.
In a block party on Lyon between Fulton and Grove, neighbors
of all ages played, talked, ate, and hung out from noon to five
on an overcast but warm Sunday afternoon. NOPA Corner
Market partnered with NOPNA this year to deliver fun and
entertainment of all kinds for all ages, providing beverages
to ensure that everyone stayed well hydrated. Kung Food
nourished us with tray after tray of delicious food and Bob’s
Donuts found everyone’s sweet tooth.
There were lots of activities for the many kids who attended,
with several parents commenting, “I had no idea there were
this many other kids in the neighborhood!” Throughout
the day, those who weren’t weaving through the crowds on
bikes, scooters, or roller skates could be found at the Free
Library carpet, creating chalk drawings inspired by local
chalk artist Sasha’s magnificent tree frog, or playing ring-
toss and cornhole. And of course the bubbles! Thanks to the
still, humid, and temperate air, conditions for bubbles were
fantastic. Huge bubbles could be seen floating down the block
throughout the day, often chased by their young creators.
The day culminated in not one but two fashion shows
featuring local designers, Swankety Swank and Size Queen
Clothing. Some also chose to accessorize their look with
sparkly glasses from Fat Ass Glass, or crystals, rocks, and

PLUM TREE
CONFESSIONAL
by JD Jenkins
The plum tree out my window said to me:
I heard you talking about me and
I want to set something straight
The little girl the other day
down on the sidewalk with her father
You told her that I’m the happiest in
Spring with my pink dress and perfume
That I’m looking like I’m going to
picnic up on Alamo Square
Do you realize what it takes to bring
Forth one little painful acne bud of blossom?
Can you see under my skin, how I
work as the buses go by and trucks unload?
And then my surfaces erupt to the world for
everyone to see, and they grab at my garment
The winds echo from February and get caught
in my tresses, pulling me to splinters
Who says I’m not happier in Winter?
Barren, standing upright to the dawn
Naked twigs and branches lifting up and
out to morning warmth, lean shadows below
Unburdened in my clean lines
cleaner Than your city streets
I sway it is true in the winter wind
But I’m not weighted down with Beauty
Who says I’m not happier in my temporary
death? Who says I’m not smiling underneath?
There, collecting raindrops and weaving
them into a thousand-eyed necklace
Let your ending be thus - unburden
yourself Trick everyone with your death!
Barren and naked, laugh inside as you
String jewels between your boney fingertips
***
And then the plum tree fell silent for a
long time; although later that night I heard
her laughing quietly with the Moon in the clouds.
JD has lived and loved in San Francisco since 1988. A NOPA resident since
2018, he feels it is the neighborhood that’s been waiting for him to arrive.

GETTING TO KNOW
D2 SUPERVISOR CATHERINE STEFANI
What was your journey into local
politics?
My family was somewhat politically
active. We would go to these
barbecues and my congressman
would be there, Congressman Tony
Coelho. I saw him helping people and
I looked up to him when I was 16. I
went to Washington, DC for a summer;
I was one of his interns and I loved it. I
thought, I’m going to do this someday.
What are your top priorities in your
next term?
1) Implementation of the Office of
Victim and Witness Rights. We’ll be
consolidating domestic violence victim
services that are separate from the
criminal justice system. We will be
implementing a pilot program that will
offer free legal counsel to domestic
violence victims. We are the first city in
the nation to do it.
2) Economic recovery. Downtown is
an economic engine for the entire
city: Changing some office space into
residential; bringing more people
downtown to do more than just have
tech offices there; and working to
keep small businesses in district two
happy. We did a twenty-million dollar
rebate for small businesses during the
pandemic: we refunded fees that they
were having to pay to stay open when
public health mandates forced them to
close.
3) Public safety, which pulls into
homelessness. I’ve been concerned
that we have a police force that Chief
Scott says is about 500 officers short.
We also are looking at how we police
and what we have them respond to: I’ve
been a big proponent of having them
not respond to all homeless issues and
having our street crisis response team
on that.
How are you engaging with the new
blocks in your district?
I’ve been reaching out to take meetings
with people to see how I can help.
For example, Sacred Heart Cathedral
Preparatory School is now in District 2
and I’m meeting with them on Friday
to talk about their needs. I’m being
as available as I can to all the new
constituents.
Can you comment on three issues
NOPA residents frequently talk
about?
1) Housing and displacement.
I’m really proud to say that I have
entitled more units of housing in
District 2 than any of my predecessors.
I care deeply about creating more
housing for all income levels. District
2 has to do its part in providing
affordable housing; I don’t believe in
just market rate housing. Any ideas you
have, any properties you might know of,
any developers that are looking, I am
willing to take meetings and discuss.
2) Empty storefronts.
I’m a huge proponent in streamlining
permits and making it easier on
businesses to open up, and then when
they are open, not to hit them with so
many different fees. What I do is help
businesses when they bring an issue to
me and we figure out how to make it
easier to do business in San Francisco.
3) Pedestrian safety.
I’m working with Caltrans and SFMTA
on slowing traffic on Lombard to 25
mph because that’s a Vision Zero high
Every ten years, San Francisco
redraws voting districts to ensure that
each Supervisor represents roughly the
same number of residents. District lines
were recently redrawn in June of 2022.
NOPA was previously represented
entirely by District 5 Supervisor Dean
Preston. Now, NOPA is split between
Districts 5 and 2.
We interviewed D2 Supervisor Stefani
to hear about her history, policy
focuses, and NOPA-area favorites.
Welcome to the NOPA family,
Supervisor!
How long have you been in San
Francisco?
I was born here and moved away as
a baby to Merced, CA. I then moved
straight into our current Cow Hollow
house 21 years ago, which is the house
my mother-in-law grew up in.

injury corridor. I’m all about making it safer. My kids ride
their bikes, my kids walk around here. We need to make our
streets safe for all who use them.
What is your favorite place to hang out in NOPA?
I had one of the best lunches of my life with Mayor Breed
at Nopalito. I also have to make a plug for Bob’s Donuts.
We get Bob’s Donuts sometimes for the office. And I do love
running anywhere in Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle.
What’s the best way for neighbors within the NOPA
community to reach out to you in your office?
You can sign up for updates on my website or just call the
office. We answer the phones, we answer our email, we get
back to people.

better said personal pleasure,
Mike found always well-rewarded
with the joy of satisfied and
happy faces.
over the course of thirty years, has
received many awards, including
“Best Breakfast,” “Best Happy Hour,”
and “Best Breakfast Burrito.”
But it was the ten years Mike
spent living, working, and
collecting recipes in Mexico’s
Sierra Madre Mountains that
set the stage for what would
become Bean Bag’s eclectic, south
of the border-inspired menu, that
he introduced in the beginning of
the pandemic. The meshing of food
cultures was a fascinating discovery
for him. For example, he learned
that the method of preparing and
cooking “al pastor” is based on
lamb shawarma brought by Lebanese
immigrants to Mexico in the early
twentieth century. The ingenious
combination of Middle Eastern
techniques and Mexican ingredients
is known today as Tacos Arabes.
This culinary experience helped create
the Bean Bag we know today, which,
Today, the biggest challenge Mike
faces is anticipating how the tidal
wave of change surging through our
city will impact the restaurant business.
The pandemic, deteriorating conditions
on many of our streets, and intractable
inflation have created unprecedented
uncertainty for restaurants and
changed food culture tremendously.
Everything costs more now, and
Mike’s main focus is to keep prices
at a reasonable level and still make
a profit and remain in business.
But Mike is carrying on, working
16-hour days, determined to sustain
the “pleasurable responsibility” he
learned in Amman and create for the
regulars, some who come in three
times a day, a home away from home.
Don’t forget your espresso!

The Bean Bag Cafe has always
been my favorite Divis café.
Maybe it’s the unpretentious décor —
harkening back, for me, to the early
70s — or perhaps it’s the extensive
breakfast and lunch menu, or it could
just be the fact that I once had an
espresso there that was as good as any
I’ve had in Italy.
Mike Alzagha opened the Bean Bag
Cafe in 1992, way before real estate
agents rechristened our neighborhood
as NOPA. Back then, Bean Bag was a
cornerstone of what was considered
an “underdeveloped neighborhood.”
Today it stands as a steady and
dependable “home away from home”
for many.
Mike was born and raised in Amman,
Jordan. He was “born to play
soccer” and at 16 left home to play
professionally in Egypt, but that’s a
tough row to hoe for most. Soon,
his love of food and the culture
surrounding it supplanted soccer
and became his second and lifelong
passion. In Jordan, food preparation
and subsequently sharing it with family
and friends became a mainstay of life
and a way to welcome any who came
VISION ZERO:
ELECTION RESULTS
What is Vision Zero? It is an
effort across the globe to reduce
instances of injury and death due to
vehicular violence to zero. Tragically
and preventably, our neighborhood
has seen too many such fatalities in
recent years, and that catalyzed the
formation of the NOPNA Vision Zero
subcommittee to prevent future loss of
life on NOPA streets. We’ve been busy
this past year with Slow Streets work,
getting new bike parking installed,
daylighting our neighborhood’s
intersections, and strategizing on a
future Oak Street road diet. This fall,
though, the excitement ramped up
more than usual because our San
Francisco voter ballots contained a
few propositions directly related to
Vision Zero safety and sustainable
transportation initiatives.
What can we interpret from these
results? A consistent supermajority
of our neighbors — you! — continue
to broadcast the message loud
and clear: we support sustainable
transportation, we prioritize San
Francisco’s public transit, we value
car-free spaces for recreation and
transportation, and we champion
green spaces and parks.
Thank you for tuning in, turning
out, and participating in democracy.
This data helps your NOPNA
Board prioritize our efforts and
advocacy as well. We are proud
to represent a neighborhood with
such high support for people-centric
community spaces and sustainable
and safe transportation.
So how did those ballot measures perform?
