Richmond District artists open their studios… This weekend (October 8-9), 20 artists from the neighborhood will be opening their studios to share their work, part of the annual San Francisco Open Studios event. The participating artists will open their studios from 11-6 each day. This is the 36th year for the Open Studios event, which runs through the end of the month.
Dry ice dumped into Lloyd Lake… A Twitter user (leo811) captured some video on Monday of “about a dozen eruption points” where dry ice had been dumped into Golden Gate Park’s Lloyd Lake. It is not certain exactly who decided to dump the dry ice in the lake, but it does reside near where the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival took place. There is no word on whether any wildlife in the area was affected.
Stow Lake Boathouse has website… And it has details on a new cafe, planned improvements and a new fleet of boats. Ortega Enterprises took over as the vendor earlier this year.
Two dead in stabbing, shooting… San Francisco police said a knife-wielding man stabbed both of his parents at a residence on Funston Avenue on Monday, before being fatally shot by officers. The suspect’s mother died as well and his father suffered serious injuries. When police confronted the man, he was holding two knives in his hands. A non-lethal weapon failed to work and he was shot by police.
