Upper Haight Rainy Weekend Odds & EndsPhoto: Camden Avery/Hoodline
First things first: on this rainy weekend, you'll be happy to hear that Cole Valley Cafe, above, is fully back open for business after a brief remodel holiday. The update features a new paint job and a spruced up interior.

On the homes-and-gardens front, Curbed SF reports the sale of a $5.2 million Queen Anne Victorian at 21 Buena Vista East, just two months after it went into foreclosure. (Flippers, beware.)

In crime, a resident on the Clayton-to-Belvedere block of Haight reported having her house broken into for the second time in two months, so it appears the home robberies reported in a rash at the beginning of the year and continuing over the summer haven't flagged. A business owner on the same block reports catching someone roof-hopping in his back patio, so keep your gates and windows locked.

If this weekend's weather is leaving you inclined to stay close to home, you should know there are two items on the docket for Second Act Marketplace: today from 1 to 4 pm they're hosting the pre-holiday Artisan Market with handmade goods in the community room. 

And tomorrow, Sunday, November 23 from 11 am to 5 pm, Eatwell Farm is hosting a free harvest market, with odds and ends for sale, fresh produce, and pomegranate cocktails executed by Alembic.

Finally, today also marks the last day of the NOW! SF to-do, a Panhandle-focused neighborhood celebration that kicked off last week. You might have seen a bit of the action yesterday afternoon at the intersection of Haight and Clayton, handing out tie-dyes as a send up to the Diggers.

Stay dry out there, readers.
