A San Francisco Palestinian corner store clerk builds community

His wife’s chocolate chip cookies sit in a basket on the check-out counter. A faded magazine clipping of him and his three sons is tacked up between shelves of liquor. A sign outside encourages anyone who is hungry to inquire within, where a special rack of assorted foods is available for those in need. For Imad Shaheen, owner of Key Food Market in the Lower Haight, it all comes down to caring for his people. “It’s a community, more than just a business,” Shaheen said, speaking from behind the counter at his shop on the corner of Fillmore and Oak streets. “It started like just a business operation, but now you know everybody by name, know their family, know their stories … so it becomes a mixture of business and friendship.” Neighbors come to the shop to celebrate their birthdays, play a tune […]

Sign up below to get Mission Local’s free newsletter, a daily digest of news you won’t find elsewhere. Andover Street runs straight up Bernal Hill — from its south facing base near 280 to the beginning of Bernal Heights Park. Near the top, two cats have recently gotten into some mysterious trouble: Ron, an orange tabby, and Pom Pom, a bushy-tailed black-and-white.Ron’s ailments are unknown — accident, fight, or internal illness — but the result is one less leg; he’s a “tripod cat,” if you’d like, but still as animated as ever around the neighborhood.Pom Pom, who resides with two other cats on the 100 block of Andover and is known for her “big, bushy tail,” came home with an unknown tail injury. Stand off with a coyote? Perhaps. But she is now back on the streets after “some rather […]

As Statewide Eviction Protections Expire, SF Measure Kicks In

Although a state measure to prevent evictions for tenants with pending rent relief applications expired Thursday, some tenants in San Francisco and Los Angeles counties saw a glimmer of hope as previously voided local protections kicked back in. “The state’s decision to let the last of its emergency eviction protections expire prioritizes big landlords and real estate industry profits over stabilizing the low-income households and communities of color most impacted by the pandemic,” said Molly Goldberg, director of the San Francisco Anti-Displacement Coalition. She cited language and access barriers, in addition to ending the application period and preempting local evictions in March. The state said that it has paid out “completed eligible applications,” though an additional 6,000 applications are pending due to applicants being unresponsive to requests for additional documentation, said Geoffrey Ross, deputy of federal financial assistance at the […]

Reach me at junyao@missionlocal.com. For seniors living in the Richmond, one of San Francisco’s outermost neighborhoods, a dominant concern is transit, especially medical transportation for seniors. Services like paratransit and taxi vouchers can be insufficient when someone has to go to dialysis three times a week, said Christine Ness, programs director at Richmond Senior Center. We asked the candidates this week: What will you do to make sure seniors have more access to get around the city?
