1680 Market Street @Gough
San Francisco CA 94102
(415) 431-6800

Open everyday except Monday, 11 to 7
(later for evening events and happenings)

Being on Market Street has its advantages. High visibility, as bike and Muni routes go right up to our door. The up Franklin, down Gough auto arteries are constantly pulsing, pulsing, pulsing.

(mouse over image) Many protests and demonstrations near and dear to The Green Arcade go right by the window and stir us from our retail reveries onto the street. Here is the Green Arcade owner Patrick Marks and San Francisco printmaker Margie Burke putting in their two cents about Prop 8.

The Green Arcade at night.  We close now at seven, but as we grow we hope to stay open later. As the sun travels towards Spring and the time changes yet again, at seven it will be light.

Children and pets seem to find The Green Arcade a fine place to sate the appetite for books and ideas.

The Green Arcade has hosted several events in its short life. Here we have a presentation on the PM Press book Teaching Rebellion: Stories from the Grassroots Mobilization in Oaxaca. Photographer Gustavo Vilchis and Melissa Mundt, from C.A.S.A. Collectives traveled the US and brought news about the historic teachers' struggle for justice in Oaxaca, Mexico.
