The exhibits are very typography oriented (hence the name "Letterform Archive"), with events online and in person. They offer special rebates and NARM* for members depending of membership level. You can sign up for tours, research visits, , or connect with the speakers in the In-Person Salons and lectures that happen every now and then. If you are a vaguely visual person or are a super type nerd, this place will spark joy. If you are a deeper set introvert, you can also browse their so far digitized collection on their Online Archive, and/or watch their incredible lectures/salons online. There is something for everyone. Anyone! The gallery has changing exhibits that go from the works from specific designers (currently: Piet Zwart; Jack Stauffacher before) to the designers of famous design schools (the school of Bauhaus), or a very niche exhibit like Graffiti Zines of the 90ies, and more intense topics: Typographic Messages of Protest (my favorite exhibit so far). I think it's good to go on a Free Admission Thursday, if you are not sure if you'll be that into the current exhibit, or pay 10 bucks if you appreciate the effort of the setup and org as a donation. It's a non-profit, they can use it. (*= that's the North American Reciprocal Museums Program, not the North American Registry of Midwives.)

It's a very small room on the 4th floor, with a nice collection, but not much there. I was hoping for there to be a 2nd or larger room, nope. No public restroom, and unfortunately, the woman working the front desk could not offer a suggestion as to where to go in the entire building (none we could find), nor could she suggest an actual business that might be an alternate location to go. On the sidewalk? Where do other people go? Would have been nice to have some customer service in that area or have some info on the website or Eventbrite page.

I worried a little that the cheap price would come with substandard service. I am happy to report that they did an excellent job. 1. The movers arrived within the estimated time frame. 2.

When I let viktor know about the broken elevator, he was not phased at all and was meticulous in getting everything out and into our new place. Overall great service, attention to detail and lovely polite movers. Will use them again! Highly recommended

All you have to do is show up alone or with a group and they provide you with gloves, buckets, sticks, and delicious coffee! I discovered Surfrider last year when I researched volunteer opportunities for my school. I've been to clean-ups at both beaches and I'm happy to help support such a great organization. After taking both Environmental Geology and Oceanography classes, I've learned so much about human impact on the oceans and our planet. Try taking small steps like composting, reusing bags, supporting sustainable companies (don't buy products with nurdles), and volunteering with enviornmental organizations like Surfrider. I challenge you to attend a clean-up or learn about what you can do to lessen your impact! Small changes add up :)

Well this was my first police festival in San francisco it was pretty cool only thing I was…read moredisappointed was the horse mounted police they were not here. They had 2 trucks I didn't really see what the food was a I did take a picture of the one truck had crepes, I didn't see what the other one was but i heard the cook say he made pasta. they had free water free snack bars from nature valley, jumpy for the kids really paintings they played live music had tables chairs to sit down they have free Airpop popcorn. Walgreens was there giving free flu shots in information about to control water use earthquake information in case you have a disaster what to do the first 72 hours they also had activity books for the children so they know what to do in case someone tries to hurt them kidnap them. church ppl were here with the nurse doing blood pressure, and then the fire department was there Red Cross was there. Individual bathrooms for male and female was actually clean which I forgot to take a picture so I was happy and you could lock the door cuz it was only one big bathroom. Also had the Highway Patrol there doing child car seat safety so that's a good thing they also had a car that talk lol cool, The kids love that they also had police little stickers that was really cool because they put it on them and then they were junior police officer. Really cool retired police dog that listen to his owner on command he s at least it up here and took the toy jumped in the air caught it came back walked around me SAT right next to me couldn't pet him tho cuz I didn't want to distract him, and then he let me take a picture of him and his dog that was really cool. This was the best day that I have looking forward to them doing it again next year. they said they're trying to get with the community so they could have more festivals and interact with the people in the Diamond Heights area. so great job San Francisco fire department Highway Patrol Diamond Heights Community Association st Aiden's Episcopal church Safeway Walgreens all season restaurant n the fair dedicated to memory of Jack Freeman. station engine 26 fire truck and the doctor who gave the free eye exam and the free glasses.

Think of it more like a digitized library, and the importance of libraries in our society, what they ultimately convey and symbolize. Knowledge and access to knowledge.

If you or someone you know has interest in knowledge, or in other words, interest in literally anything, it's a neat time.

If you've ever used the Way Back machine to play the Oregon trail online or to look up what a website looked like in 1998, then you've used the Internet Archive. It's probably one of the most impressive and incredible FREE public service we have in the world that is *literally* run on good will, donations, and on the principle that access to information should always be free. We took a tour here on Friday when they do free tours (usually around 1PM) and you get to see the behind the scenes of how they archive works and some of the original servers that host ALL the data the year 1997 (yes, ALL 2-TB of it!!). The building alone is beautiful architecturally -- it used to be a Christian Scientist church -- and they still kept the pews in the main room, so it's a cool piece of history to step into. If you're free in a Friday afternoon in the Inner Richmond, highly HIGHLY recommend doing the tour and supporting (or donating) this wonderful institution. This is definitely one of the most underrated places in SF!
