San Francisco’s Panhandle Bandshell To Be Shut Down

According to Jim at SFist, San Francisco’s wonderful Panhandle Bandshell, which is made of recycled materials and that our friends at The Black Rock Arts Foundation worked on so hard to make a reality (see my previous post), is now being shut down.

The San Francisco Recreation & Park Department has refused a request to extend the permit for the bandshell, therefore it will cease operation in September. Alexandria Rocha has more on this story over at The San Francisco Examiner.
