NOVA-12 to put on 7th annual breast cancer walk this Saturday

Sign up below to get Mission Local’s free newsletter, a daily digest of news you won’t find elsewhere. Dozens of walkers will trek from Fort Mason to the Bayview on Saturday for the seventh year in a row to raise money for the breast cancer organization NOVA-12. The 12-mile walk represents the 12 percent of women in the United States diagnosed with breast cancer. The trail changes every two years, usually starting at the north side of the city and ending at the Bayview Opera House. The route is purposefully designed to address the racial health inequity in the treatment of breast cancer. “People in the Mission, Chinatown, and Bayview get diagnosed at a later stage,” said Monica Bien, a physician’s assistant at San Francisco General Hospital. “So we’re trying to show how the freeways and redlining affected community health and wellness.”The […]

Fire at Mission Buddhist temple displaced four, including cats

The fire at a Mission Buddhist temple residence near 22nd and Capp streets on Tuesday left four residents displaced, of 15 residents living in the adjacent building, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.  The fire hit the residential Victorian adjoining the temple. No residents were injured, and one firefighter suffered minor injuries. Both cats living in the building were rescued, according to the nuns. The cats were not eating since the fire, one nun said. The firefighters rescued one cat, and the other hid under a bed on the third floor. The Victorian-style residential building, adjacent to the Buddhist temple Hua Zang Si, which opened in 2004, suffered “extensive damage,” according to the fire department. The department described the structure, which is clad in the same distinctive red-and-black colors as the temple, as the “residence” of Hua Zang Si.The cause of […]

Text messages to her brother were again shown to the jury. “Do you have any inclination, based on what had happened that day, that there was any kind of bad blood between your brother and Bob Lee?” asked Saam Zangeneh, Momeni’s attorney asked, referring to the hour and a half Lee and the Momeni siblings spent together at Khazar’s home shortly before the stabbing. “They liked each other,” Khazar Momeni said.  Bob Lee’s character Zangeneh also tried in his questioning today to […]

A requiem: The ghosts from 40 years of walking San Francisco

I got my first job in San Francisco nearly 40 years ago, in the Flood Building, at 870 Market Street. A chubby cheerful, uniformed lobby attendant pressed the elevator buttons for me. The lobby was marble and, oh wonderful, there was a Woolworth’s on the ground floor.I loved to sit at the curved Formica lunch counter just like I loved the ladies who served me: bright lipstick, hairnets, and pink puffy-sleeved uniforms. I loved the Coca-Cola glasses and the grilled cheese sandwiches. I felt grown-up: part of a purposeful lunch crowd, we were all very important. (All photos are from the San Francisco Public Library Archive.)Flood Building at Market and Powell streets. San Francisco Public Library 1905.Woolworth’s. San Francisco Public Library. But best of all, I loved my walk to work from North Beach, up and down Powell Street along the […]

D3 leading candidate Sauter loses endorsement from tenants group

Danny Sauter, a leading candidate in District 3, lost the endorsement this week of the California Democratic Renters Council after it became clear that Sauter did not support Prop. 33. The Council is a statewide chartered organization of the California Democratic Party. If approved on Nov. 5, Prop 33 would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act of 1995 and remove limits on cities and counties to impose rent control. The Renters Council supports the measure, and it is a critical issue in determining the group’s endorsement of candidates. When asked about his position on repealing Costa Hawkins in a questionnaire in July from the California Democratic Renters Council, Sauter said he supported repealing Costa Hawkins along with the production of new housing. When asked specifically on what became Prop 33, he said he supported the measure.But earlier this month, in response to […]
