Convenient One-Stop Action For All Your Civic Needs! (Haha, Joking)…read more SITREP Well, not ENTIRELY joking: did accomplish needed actions here in Late October. THE SETUP My buddy William had never gotten a parking ticket before! So how to deal with it was a shock for him. I'm not a fan of the Parking policies in the downtown Midtown Sacramento grid as we are residents with no garages or off-street parking. THREE (3) STARS. So I layed out all the worst case scenarios that could happen if he just *let-it-slide*, ending of course after 5 unpaid tickets, with the dreaded *Orange Parking Boot* on your tire which immobilizes yer vehicle. CITY HALL PLAZA I took him to the City Hall building where he could pay for his ticket in person (since he wanted the peace of mind it was DONE & done). But he let me ride shotgun with him so I could drop of my voting ballot in the Voting Box conveniently placed in the lobby by the Information-Security Desk. I appreciate this courtesy. Which is why THREE (3) STARS instead of just ONE (1). THE LOWDOWN Convenient options for those in a hurry.

October is Filipino-American Heritage Month…read more I didn't know this place even existed until I started walking to Wifey's work on California St. from downtown to Presidio Heights for my exercise. During my walk, I would take photos of the beautiful Victorian houses along the way and this particular house stood out due to the sign on top of the door that reads: Filipino Community Of San Francisco, with the symbol of the sun from the Philippine flag used in lieu of the letter "O" from of. I tried googling the place and nothing came up, and not much information was found. So I decided to add the business on Yelp and edit it later without even thinking the importance of it. A couple of months later, my uncle, who was living in Canada, passed away and most of the relatives (including his siblings) were unable to make the trip up north for the funeral. My cousin, who is very active in the Filipino community in San Francisco, sent an invite for his remembrance at this address. At that time, I didn't put the two together until we physically arrived here and instantly recognized it as the house I kept stopping by to admire during my many walks. Once I stepped inside, there were photos on the wall from founding members to current members. And....most of them are my uncles, aunts and relatives. How that heck did they not even mention this to us? All this time I passed by this place, I had a deep connection to it without even knowing the historical content, family ties and significance of it. After the service, I decided to learn more about this place and started talking to the elders and care-takers. Founded in 1939, this house was established to help the Filipino Community during the early days to help the "Manongs and Manangs" (respectful way of saying older sibling) establish themselves and function as a support group. You have to pay a one-time initial fee, but you are a member for life that comes with many perks and benefits. One of these benefits is that every member contributes to a fund if someone passes on. I got a tour of the house and most of the rooms are used as boarding houses for students, but the basement level primarily doubles as an event space. But the real gem was getting to know the people who have kept this going for as long as they have without much outside support. Everything is from the members, whose memberships have declined throughout the years as they have aged and the subsequent generations have opted not to join....or were never informed of such a group existed in the first place. I shudder to think that maybe our elders were hiding something from us like secret parties or some hanky-panky that went on behind close doors. Of course I'm kidding, but looking at those pictures of my relatives made me think otherwise. But talking to the elders made me realize that the second, third and subsequent generations have to keep this alive as the Filipino Community has been vital in the San Francisco, Bay Area, California and the United States of America. We have played and contributed to the success of this nation and this story must be told loud and clear....especially in these trying times when someone wants to divide us rather than unite. We are a part of the diverse fabric that is intertwined and holds this nation together, and we must continue to celebrate our heritage while working collectively with other groups and ethnicities from different races and backgrounds to steer this nation that cares for other people, and not vilify them. That is the basic nature of what I was taught of being a Filipino. Now, when does my secret ceremony start?

I'm wondering if the Association is still active. Most of my family from those years were members. If you have any more information pictures on the place, please post them.

This city has it all. Perfectly located between San Francisco and San Jose on the SF Bay…read morePeninsula, Menlo Park is a blend of residential, business and pleasure. Restaurants abound all over from the simple to the chic. Whether your cruising down El Camino or Santa Cruz Avenue, the choices are plentiful. Pizza, Chinese, French, sandwiches - you name it. Menlo Park has a large variety of foods from around the world and I never tire of trying new restaurants. And if you don't have time for a sit down meal, there's a huge Draeger's Supermarket in Stanford Mall, one of the largest and newest Safeway's on El Camino, Nak's Oriental Market for fresh fish, and Chavez Supermarket for a Spanish flare. If you like little shops with local goods, Santa Cruz Avenue is the place to stroll. Runners High, Cheeky Monkey Toys and Bubble are just a few of the local stops along this much travelled road. There are a multitude of parks for the family or adventurer. My favorite is the Bayfront Park which offers a scenic walk for the nature lover or spectacular run for the hard core athlete. If you make it to Menlo Park, be sure to drive through the Menlo Hills and look at some of the lovely homes on the west side. They will impress even the pickiest home admirer. My only complaint about this charming little town is their Art & Wine Festival ranks as the worst on the Peninsula with a paltry offering of one type of generic wine, but otherwise the city has so much to offer. So make your way to Menlo Park for lunch, dinner or a weekend shopping trip.
