There's more to the Richmond than good Dim Sum and boba. Park Life, the independent retail and gallery space, has been at Clement and 3rd for a couple years now, and continues to offer of-the-moment artwork, books (some published under the shop's own imprint, Paper Museum Press), and a few home items that we really like...
- Marble Soda Can The top lifts off to reveal it's actually a little canister.
- Magno Wooden Radios So handsome, and made from sustainable wood.
- White Orbit Chandelier Love the round bulbs of various sizes, which remind us of stars in the sky.
- Lemnos Glass Wall Clock A simple clock in an eye-popping color (also available in white) makes a great accent piece.
And just for fun, one more...
- Roller Stop An homage to the 70's, and the perfect piece de resistance for your disco lair.
All items available at Park Life.

This is a really fun store I like to pop in when I am in that hood going to Green Apple Bookstore and getting take out Dim Sum. I also love the store a half a block over across the street called Fleur't which is a flower shop and eclectic home decor all very poetic and dreamy.
What is Richmond like? (I'm an East Coaster looking at different places to live in the SF area.) Sorry for the hijack!!
FYI, Richmond, the city, is completely different than "the Richmond district" in San Francisco.
I lived in the Inner Richmond District for almost 7 years and loved it. It's a mix of lil'chinatown, lil'russia, and lil'ireland. Some of the best restaurants are here (Burma Superstar, Pizzetta 211.) Almost 2 great produce stores to every block. Lot's of green areas are nearby, Golden Gate Park, the Presidio. It's gotten somewhat bourgie over the years, rents have skyrocketed, but that's not much different than the rest of sf. It's not that central, but if you bike, you'd never notice.
I moved to the Mission because the Richmond was just too cold for me. While the Mission is 75 degrees, the Richmond can be 60. But now with global warming, it's probably not that bad.
