New Group Shine on SF Is Working to Clean Things, Install Golden Trees, and Push for Civic Pride
A new group that formed before the pandemic began but is just now getting its gears in motion is aiming to revive San Franciscans pride in their city, after at least a decade in which the overall consensus has been that everything here is terrible.
They re called Shine On SF, and one of their first big initiatives kicks off this weekend with some whimsical Golden Trees. The idea is that 16 trees will be temporarily installed in multiple locations around the city, and residents are encouraged to visit one during specific event times and write on a golden card an answer to the question What makes San Francisco shine? and the cards will all be hung from the trees. This seems a bit like the product of a corporate off-site team-building event, but the intention is heartfelt, and perhaps it will have the desired effect of encouraging positivity.
