The Noe Valley Voice is published ten times a year and has been a neighborhood fixture since 1977. Here are notable highlights from the latest issue. Links are to stories we've covered here on NVSF or outside sources as the Voice doesn't post stories until the middle of the month.
October 2012
Front Page: Harvest Fest is coming on October 27th; praise for Scott Wiener (update to the sidebar: Scott is introducing legislation to ban public nudity in SF); diary of finding a rental in Noe; Dems think Noe will be Blue this election (again).
Letters: Newcomer to Noe has tons of suggestions for how things could better; remembering Missy, a sweet dog; a touching recollection of working at the Noe Bar & Grill during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.
Features: Meth-addicted copper thief's 24th Street house sells; stolen packages.
Cost of Living in Noe: Bidding wars are still driving up home sale prices, as much as 4-13% over asking. Rent? $5,500/month on the high side for a 2 bedroom.
Store Trek: Olive This Olive That (304 Vicksburg St.)
Rumors: Music in the Park was a hit, but no mention of how much it raised (Philz had a great day); the commercial space we've been watching at The Luxe will be a property management office, not retail; "by Halloween" Heliotrope will post an announcement that they're moving (Oh wait, they did that already); DavidsTea opening Oct 27; a Holey Bagel bagel "tastes better than it looks;" Chris Cosention of Incanto wins Top Chef Masters; Vietnamese-Thai fusion restaurant "appears to be ready to open" - or not. Farmer's Market reports a 52 person surge in attendance.

Just want to add: on Sat 9/29 around 4-5pm, I saw the infamous guy on the bicycle (mentioned in the Noe Valley Voice). He was cruising looking for packages. I actually followed him a bit (and just stared at him to let him know I was watching..of course, he just smiles and waves). Anyway, he started on 22nd/Castro, cruised 22nd to Sanchez, goes down a street, and then zig-zags all the way down to Elizabeth. He is exactly as the newspaper describes. I suggest keeping an eye out and if you see him taking stuff, call the police.
