The theme of the afternoon – VOTE YES ON J FOR JFK PROMENADE.

It was a foggy afternoon in historic Golden Gate Park in the midst of Fleet Week with the Blue Angels flying overhead.

The foggy cool weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd which came to enjoy Prom on the Prom as advocates for Proposition J fight to preserve the car free oasis JFK Promenade.

There was music, food, a photo booth, free books courtesy of the San Francisco Public Library, and an atmosphere of camaraderie in the air.

Looming over all is the behemoth Tower of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco adjacent to JFK Promenade – The powerful politically connected who oversee this venerable institution have spent nearly $800,000 in their campaign to destroy JFK Promenade.
