We did it! Thanks to our generous donors, we saved over 50 important historical items from the Cliff House Collection! This is just the beginning, there is still more to do!
Over 1000 images of the SF music scene from the 70s and 80s have been added to OpenSFHistsory.org. The photographer who captured images of the Grateful Dead, Santana, the Rolling Stones, and many more, Greg Gaar joins the pod to share stories of his life and work.
San Francisco in the 60s gave rise to the counter-culture movement and Gary Warne was front and center. The Pod this week welcomes author John Law, who knew Gary and recalls the underground places and events that shape San Francisco to this day.
When the Cliff House suddenly closed in December 2020, its collection of treasures from Sutro Baths, Playland, and the Cliff House itself were put up for auction. Learn how a scrappy group of like-minded preservationists banded together to save some of the most significant pieces of the collection and what's next for the collection.
