‘Thank you for the joy and sense of belonging’
To the Editors:
I’m a Cow Hollow resident and an ardent reader of the New Fillmore, and I wanted to share a small note of appreciation. The stories you publish capture the color, diversity and everyday beauty of our neighborhoods in a way that feels deeply personal. I often find myself walking through Pacific Heights, the Presidio or Cow Hollow and thinking, “Oh, this was in the New Fillmore the other day,” which always brings a smile.
As a thank you for the joy and sense of belonging your work brings into my life, I put together a refreshed website for you — a modernized design, an updated photo corner to help readers better visualize life around Fillmore Street and improved SEO and AEO for easier discovery. BEFORE | AFTER
I’m happy to collaborate or hand over this website to you.

Wonderful piece. I remember when the jazz clubs on Fillmore stayed open past two — this brought it all back. Thank you for keeping the memory of the neighborhood alive.

We've lived on Pine near Steiner for thirty-one years and it still surprises us how much this paper notices. Please keep going.

A small correction — the mochi shop on Post opened in 1982, not 1985. My grandfather was there for the ribbon cutting. Love the coverage otherwise.
