Did everyone make it through the week? Oh, first week of January, you are ever so long. This is the first weekend in months that we have nothing planned. You’ll find us under piles of blankets watching movies and football. Well, two of us. The third will likely be pirouetting through the apartment asking WHY on repeat. Our own giggly Cheshire Cat, talking us into disoriented circles.

From around the web this week:

Dolores Park is finally reopening this weekend!! Hallelujah. Mission Local went on a behind-the-scenes tour with Supervisor Scott Weiner.

SFist rounded up the best bars with fireplaces, to get you through the rest of this cold, rainy winter.

Did you know there was a “free range kid” provision stuck into the latest federal education bill?

Transit history aficionados will want to see these renderings for Moynihan Station (aka the new Penn Station). If you’re still feeling forlorn about the old Penn Station, the New York Times did a wonderful piece rethinking its legendary photographed grandeur.

Also historic, I know some of you (and I know exactly who you are) will get a kick out of these Victorian diseases making a come back: gout, scurvy, and rickets!

Also in the interest of being service-y, for those of you starting the new year off with a desire to re-organize your kitchens, you could do much worse than this Swedish one. Wood, metals, and pottery…yum.

I love this lunch box post by How We Montessori. We own some of those pieces, and they’re awesome.
