CYCLECIDE FUNLAND FUN-RAISER DIY MINI GOLF AND AMUSEMENT PARK

Nothing says Americana like mini golf and an amusement park (and maybe some fireworks on the the 4th of July). Kick off Uncle Sam's 233rd birthday weekend with some traditional US fun (SF values-style, baby). Come one, come all to the Cyclecide Funland Fun-raiser tonight in the Bayshore and celebrate the DIY building of San Francisco's only mini golf and amusement park. Join Cyclecide for an evening of mini putt putt, pedal-powered attractions, punk shows, and refreshments. 7:30 pm, $5-$10. Bayshore at Oakdale.

RECYCLE YOUR eJUNK TODAY NEAR RAINBOW GROCERY

We like to do a little civic-minded, save-the-planet kinda stuff here at CheapandEasySF, and why not? Especially when it's CHEAP (in this case downright FREE) and EASY to do.

You know those old TV sets, cell phones, computers, printers and various other assorted eJunk in your basement, on your back porch, in the closet? The kind of crap other morons dump on the sidewalk or worse -- toss in a dumpster behind Safeway when they think no one is looking? Yeah, that stuff.

Get rid of it responsibly today between 12 noon and 4 pm.

Bring it on over to Trainor Alley, that street that runs just alongside Rainbow Grocery (click here for location map) and the world will be a better place.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY LANDMARKS

Take yourself for a long walk and check out a number of African-American history landmarks identified by local historian John William Templeton. This is a great FREE and DYI way to commemorate Black History Month.

Click here and follow the details in the SGFate.com story ("Some S.F. African-American History Landmarks"). Some of the sights you'll see include the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church (2125 Sutter St.), the first African-American bank in the United States (now the Merchants Exchange Building at 465 California St.) and the Madame C.J. Walker Home for Girls (2066 Pine St.)
