They are awesome! A panel of at least 3 trained volunteer mediators help you resolve conflict. They helped my co-worker and I. We are now good friends to this day. Thanks Community Boards! I wish I were more like them. They have helped me in so many ways I can't even begin to explain. Plus, I have to get back to work.

This non-profit helps people to resolve conflicts -- it's volunteer-based and it's free. In…read moreaddition, it trains volunteers in conflict resolution techniques. The idea is that once you can see things from each other's points of view and start to unobjectify each other, it becomes easier (less agitated) to talk about the problem and to figure out a mutually beneficial solution in a collaborative way. Simple concept, but like many things, harder to realize. After observing the conflict resolution techniques in action a few times, it seems more doable each time as I understand the process better. I learned a lot from CB about conflict resolution techniques. Also how to be a better listener. Very useful as conflicts are part of life and handling them well can build relationships. CB also provides training to schools, and to people interested in learning mediation. More information about this on CB's web site. Low-cost mediation by professionals is also available.

Terrible. I left 3 messages and no response. My GGP group left us high and dry. We usually get…read moregroceries every Saturday mornings at Oak & Clayton and they're very nice. But the last month they haven't been there so I called and called the main number to see if they can tell me where they went/if they just plain quit distributing at that location. Shit service- no respect. I can see why they're negative reviews- black listed, staff keeps food for themselves sounds like selfish assos staff there to me.

This is a wonderful company that does great work and has a great mission, but the dispatch people…read moreare deplorable, unprofessional, and completely unreasonable. My network of nonprofits/community-based-organizations was blacklisted from receiving donations, because of a minor issue with the building maintenance staff. This came after 2+ years of having a very cordial and open working relationship with them, and I was always listed as an emergency backup if staff wasn't on-site. The founder (Mary Risley) is no longer acting in the best interest of the company, and should step down. The dispatch manager (Tessa) is two-faced and unprofessional. Do not do business with this company.

Ed and Michelle exceeded our expectations in every way! They were courteous, professional, on time and on budget. I highly recommend them for any one looking to create a new online presence.

I'm not always comfortable with what I see there, but I'm always inspired to be a better part of my community, and inspired to bring more people to see what Intersection is all about.

Intersection's recent move, from Valencia Street to downtown's Chronicle building, finds them…read morebecoming "Intersection 5M", a collaboration of groups in nearby spaces, all working to create social change. Or something like that. I recently attended the new Intersection for the culmination of a storytelling class where each student was showcased on stage for their 10 minutes of fame. Lots of fun for both the students and the audience in this comfortably informal environment. Intersection feels like the red-headed stepchild of "Yerba Buena Center for the Arts" and "The Marsh". Their programming is YBCA-lite, offering simlar artsy fare on a smaller scale and budget. They move into Marsh territory by sprinkling in a few classes and providing a venue that still gives you no reason to dress up for your big night out. I've enjoyed the events I've attended at Intersection but, like YBCA, I infrequently find anything amongst their programming that compels me to attend. Lucky for them, that doesn't seem to matter. They've been around for more than 40 years now, even weathering the recent economic woes which laid to rest many other well-established arts organizations. If there's an offering that appeals, keep 'em around for another 40+, and go check out Intersection.

I'm gonna be real. I was not excited about getting LinkedIn photos taken on a random afternoon. But…read moreoh boy did Eddie completely changed that experience. Let me tell you, this man is a walking encyclopedia of photography! And all other things too, turns out. Let's just say he knows what he's doing! Detail oriented doesn't even cover it, he will notice things you never would and quietly make it all better without making a big deal out of it. What surprised me most was how natural and comfortable the whole thing felt. It was quick, easy, and I genuinely forgot I was being photographed at some point, which I think is the highest compliment you can pay a photographer. Eddie is also just a great person to talk to. 10/10. Would let Eddie photograph my face again without hesitation.

We made an appointment to come in and Ulysses helped us out. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us through the process. He didn't rush us or pressure us to buy a piano, and he was patient in answering all our questions. We went home that same day to think about which piano we wanted to get and returned a week later to purchase a Yamaha upright piano. Overall, it was a great experience and we now have a beautiful piano!

I genuinely thought this place was a movie set. I've lived…read morenext door for quite a while and can count on one hand the number of times I've seen this place open. "Appointment only" apparently means seven days a week, all year long. Today I finally saw someone who was very obviously dressed like an employee standing outside. I figured, "Perfect! I'll ask about buying a piano." Instead, I got awkwardly ignored while he waited for his DoorDash pizza. When I asked a simple question, I was told, "I'm not working." Interesting... because if you're wearing the uniform, standing in front of the business, and waiting for lunch, you might consider acknowledging someone who is literally trying to give you thousands of dollars. At this point I'm convinced the rarest instrument in this store isn't the piano--it's customer service. If you're looking to actually buy a piano, I'd recommend taking your money somewhere that has the radical business model of being open and talking to customers. Also, if anyone has successfully entered this establishment, I'd love to hear your story. I'm starting to think it's SF's version of Schrödinger's piano store: it both exists and doesn't exist until someone has an appointment.

We also saw the room which houses the opera and were lucky enough to find an employee there who gave us a tour of the audio system and we were blown back.

We were excited to go to enjoy the Open House Fall Feast, held at the beautiful, historic Green Room at the San Francisco War Veterans Memorial (401 Van Ness Ave). Happy to report you, that the venue is fully accessible. Inside are many updates & building seems well-maintained. We were escorted in to a formal room on second floor, w/round tables & Fall decorations. The doors to the Green Room were open, letting the sunshine in. Bright room with floor to ceiling windows & curtains. Seated & served 150 guests from 2-3:30pm and second seating later (4:30-6pm. Again with another 150 guests ;-) We sat closest to the window. What a view looking out the floor to ceiling windows. The autumnal feast was catered from Mollie Stone's. The full Thanksgiving meal was turkey w/all the fixings, and a nice helping of pumpkin pie to finish! Delicious food! We enjoyed visiting & meeting friends at the table. Can we talk? Oh yes, we talked a lot and spoke of gratitude & love. Lovely, lovely Feast! We thank Open House, Visa, Google, Gielead and rest of sponsors, whose names escape me (Sorry!) Thank you all to; the catering, service staff, set up crews & outside volunteers - You made everyone happy.
