Hayes Valley sure got a lot of press this week. Here's a roundup of items you may have missed.

Streetsblog published a story yesterday about the several Hayes Valley intersections without pedestrian crosswalks. The good news: a crosswalk will be reopened at Fell and Franklin in about a month. The not-great news: one at Fell and Gough is due "late next year." The bad news: Oak and Franklin won't be getting a crosswalk at all, lest auto traffic be impeded. Sigh.

The Bold Italic shared a series of photos of Hayes Valley in the 1990's, before the quake-damaged Central Freeway came down. The pics come from the SF Public Library's Historical Photo Collection, and show a neighborhood that's starkly different from the Hayes Valley of today.

Pricenomics mapped the rental price of a 1-bedroom apartment in various neighborhoods around San Francisco. Topping the list was $3,750 a month, the median price in - you guessed it - Hayes Valley. 

SF Weekly posted an interview with street artist Mel Waters, the muralist who painted Nina Simone and Louis Armstrong on the wall outside Nabila's market at 559 Hayes Street.

Curbed had an update about Parcel O, the vacant northern section of the lot that formerly hosted the Hayes Valley Farm. In short, the city has a goal of building 80 units of affordable housing on the site, but there are no specific developments in the works yet.

And finally, Thrillist held a "Best Neighborhood In SF" tournament this week, pitting 16 'hoods against each other to determine which one is, by some unspecified metric, the "best." In the end, Hayes Valley lost to the Mission in the finals by a single vote. So, no trophy for you.

If all publicity is good publicity, then congrats on a pretty good week, Hayes Valley.
