Last week three more sidewalk plaques were installed by San Francisco Department of Public Works as part of the Folsom Streetscape Project. The plaques commemorate historic locations at 960 Folsom (once home to A Taste of Leather, Trading Post, and Studstore), 979 Folsom (site of The Hula Shack and The Slot), and 1123 Folsom (formerly The Stables and current home of The Stud).

This brings the number of plaques installed since last August to 16. For a complete list of current and future locations, please visit Plaque List. Photo Credit: David Hyman

 

POLISH THOSE BOOTS!

LeatherWalk 2026 is happening Sunday, September 20!

We’re starting at Eagle Plaza and hitting the streets of SOMA.

Leather. Kink. Queer joy. Music. Performers. Flags. Friends. And probably some outfits that require a little extra room.

Newly Legal: Grab a beverage at one of our stops and bring it along as you walk the route!

LEATHERWALK IS A CELEBRATION.

Sunday, September 20th
10:00am
