Hidden in an alley a few blocks from the house lies a literal hole in the wall theater. Peeking inside the small peephole reveals a cinema that plays a constant stream of silent film vignettes.
Those willing to crouch down and crane their necks to peer into the small hole will be rewarded with an endless loop of short films. These short films and animations run all day and night, so come any time and enjoy this little gem the Mission District has to offer.

The Lyft city bikes are AWESOME
The Lyft city bikes give you access to the city safely and affordably better than anything else. Bike paths are built to avoid the hills, so really very lovely to bike in SF!

Property crime vs. Violent crime
In SF there is lots of property crime but almost no violent crime. So you are safe, just don’t leave your stuff in your car or unlocked on the street.
