SF Chronicle Takes a Closer Look at the New Betty Ann Ong Chinese Rec Center

By John King (August 7, 2012)

There's no issue in architecture more loaded than the question of what  constitutes
"good" contextual design when adding new buildings to  established settings... For
some people, the only right answer is a dutiful emulation of the  prevailing style.
Others believe the present should stand in utter contrast to  the past. My own take
is that the best contextual buildings pick up on the cues  around them - colors,
 materials, structural forms - and then make their own  confident presence felt...
Case in point: the new Betty  Ann Ong Chinese Recreation Center set against the 
steep corner of Washington  and Mason streets, where Chinatown meets Nob Hill. The
boxy three-story building  isn't great architecture - but it fits the site like 
a well-tailored suit, and  as a civic presence it sets a tone that's neighborly 
and affirmative  at once. Read the entire article here.

SFYBL All-Stars a Hit in San Jose

The San Francisco Youth Baseball League (SFYBL) 12U all-star team recently took

game against Orinda. The winner of the Bronco Super Regional gets an automatic berth
in the PONY Bronco World Series in August.

A tip of the hat to the 12U squad:

 Marvcus Guarin, Lester Jarquin, Giovanne Melara, Jake Pashby, Anthony Reynolds,
 Antonio Roque, Cole Sowyrda, Sean White, Jacob Wong, and Nathan Wong

Coaches
