Castro

While the days of the once-legendary Castro Halloween block party have long passed, plans are currently in the works for a community-based event with a costume contest, film screenings at the Castro Theatre, and storefront activations. 

Last weekend and just in time for Pride, a new art installation was revealed on the windows outside the former restaurant and bar Harvey's and smoke shop Puff 'n Stuff at 18th and Castro streets.

In a joint hearing on Thursday that lasted over seven hours, the San Francisco Planning and Historic Preservation Commissions approved Another Planet Entertainment's proposed changes to the 101-year-old Castro Theatre.

With Pride Month officially kicking off last week, the Pink Triangle art installation on Twin Peaks is set to return in the coming weeks — but in its original, non-illuminated, canvas form.

Haitian American artist Serge Gay Jr. has painted a new mural on the side of Castro gift shop Local Take, adjacent to the public parking lot behind Walgreens.

On Monday, the Nasser family released a letter rebuking the Castro Theatre Conservancy's (CTC) proposal to take over the historic theatre.
