Everything South City on Social Media
Everything South City has enjoyed a wonderful community on our interactive Facebook page which now has over 18,500 subscribers and over 19,275 followers grown organically since our inception 13 years ago this month! And our Instagram page continues to grow and we thank team member Allie for that continued success, you can follow us HERE.
However, lately, META (FB/IG) has changed up its algorithms and we are noticing our reach is not as far as it once was. We are committed to ensuring our neighbors receive up-to-date news and views so, to that end, we encourage you to subscribe to our weekly digest HERE. The weekly digest is generally sent out on Friday afternoons and on occasion, a special edition may be added to your inbox.
In addition, you can subscribe to instant updates and receive articles sent to your inbox as soon as they are published by signing up directly from the website (see left side column)
And because we are neighbors you NEVER have to be concerned that your information will ever be sold or shared with 3rd party groups, etc, we just don’t do that. **We also respect requests for anonymity, just let us know!
To avoid any spam or phishing on our website, comments will be approved prior to posting and this may take up to 24 hours. ALL comments are published as we receive them, and we do not delete them from our social media or website – ever.

I’d like you to post the following warning. Scotch broom is “highly invasive” and threatens our wetlands and native-species on Sign Hill, San Bruno Mountain, and our city and county parks.
Are you taking food donations
Hi I’m from Westborough area. I usually go for a walk at Selick park. Today I saw a homeless roaming around the area. I’m just concerned about the safety of our neighborhood.
Hi Joel,
Safety in and near our homes is very important and a concern we all share.
Please, might you be able to share more information about your experience:
How do you know the personn was homeless? By appearance? By belongings they had with them? Had they set them self up in the park as a temporary place to live? Where they threatening in anyway? Did the person appear to be mentally incompetent, either mental illness or drugs?
Those answers would help us all gain a better understanding on how we might move forward to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Thank you

West Orange Library is closing forever. So many South City residents have fond memories of this place. Last day to visit is Friday July 7. Please come and say farewell.
Want to thank the owners and residents of ESC because they have been the honest traders of information instead of propaganda.
It is difficult to exploit viewers if you don’t allow them, and ESC had made the best effort to maintain decency and honestly of their site over a long and loyal viewership. I will always trust this site before FB or twitter.
ESC has resisted efforts to politicize local issues even while citizens have been taken through the coals this election season,but supported locals in elections. the use of its platform for that activity hasn’tfound a home at ESC to politicize for readers.
Happy Holidays!
