With all of the store and restaurant closings over the past year or so, sometimes you've got to pause for a second and reflect on all the great places in and around our city that are, thankfully, still open for business. Take Rare Device, for example. The Upper Market boutique has consistently wowed us with their selection of beautiful things for the home and beyond since they opened shop two years ago. The owners really work hard to find the best in art and design coming from local and up-and-coming artists, as well as national and international talents that deserve broader recognition. And did we mention the gallery? It's always worth peeking in to see what unique collaboration or interesting show they've got going on at the moment. Okay, enough of this lovefest. Point is, they're worth a visit, especially this weekend (October 24-25) when they'll be celebrating with 20% off all in-store items other than gallery artwork. Head over and gives thanks for San Francisco's great local shops.
