But clearly it wasn’t. Kim first went to work at Tyger’s in 1988 and took over the manage- ment in 1997. For all those years, he labored in the small kitchen, prepar- ing stacks of pancakes, BLTs and tuna melts for neighborhood regulars and casual drop-ins alike. Pre-Covid, seven people worked there, but over the past year that num- ber had been reduced to two—Kim and his wife, Suzie. That was exhaust- ing for them both, he said, but they could not afford to hire anyone else. The changing pandemic rules, including stretches of carry-out-only, limited sidewalk dining and partial inside dining, cut deeply into their revenue and made keeping the business alive unviable.

  • Welcome to San Francisco!
    Welcome to San Francisco! I can’t wait to share my city’s history with you. Dive deeper into the history of the Julie: An American Girl books with this tour of San Francisco. Julie Albright grew up in 1970s San Francisco and joins in the city's long history of environmental and human rights activism. She also learns about the importance of culture and diversity with Ivy, her Chinese American friend. Learn more about these topics by exploring San Francisco through Julie's eyes and experiences. The tour should take between two and four hours, depending on how long you spend at each stop. Three of the stops include visits to a museum and the Hetch Hetchy stop requires an alternate location. #JulieSFTour History Pin: http://bit.ly/juliesftour Google Maps Route: https://goo.gl/maps/JPw9soUj3x41UaPR9 STOP 1: Establishing A Home Away From Home Dragon’s Gate, Bush St & Grant Ave Julie's best friend Ivy is Chinese-American and shares with Julie her Chinese heritage. San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in the United States and is home to one of the largest Chinese populations outside of Asia. Chinese immigrants first arrived in San Francisco in 1848 in pursuit of gold and work during California's Gold Rush. Although few people found gold, a Chinese community formed around Portsmouth Square as a home away from home for Chinese immigrants and as an escape from discrimination. Chinese immigrants established churches, schools, and businesses, and Chinatown acted as a city within a city. Despite facing discrimination and anti-Chinese laws, Chinatown and its residents persevered and fought to maintain their community and culture in San Francisco.

Muni’s original proposal, unveiled last winter, called for eliminating the 35-Eureka’s current loop along Moffitt, Bemis and Addison streets and extend the route south along Diamond Street to serve the Glen Park BART station. The 35-Eureka proposal is part of the San Francisco Municipal Transpor- tation Agency’s Transit Effectiveness Project, which aims make the public transit system more efficient, reliable, safe and comfortable for its riders, in part by overhauling routes.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan Environmental Assessment
    1. Introduction The Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan and Environmental Assessment is a cooperative effort between the Presidio Trust (Trust), the National Park Service (NPS), and the Golden Gate National Parks Association (GGNPA). The Presidio Trust is a wholly- owned federal government corporation whose purposes are to preserve and enhance the Presidio as a national park, while at the same time ensuring that the Presidio becomes financially self-sufficient by 2013. The Trust assumed administrative jurisdiction over 80 percent of the Presidio on July 1, 1998, and the NPS retains jurisdiction over the coastal areas. The Trust is managed by a seven-person Board of Directors, on which a Department of Interior representative serves. NPS, in cooperation with the Trust, provides visitor services and interpretive and educational programs throughout the Presidio. The Trust is lead agency for environmental review and compliance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). GGNPA is administering project funds and coordinating phase one of the project. The San Francisco International Airport has provided $500,000 to fund the first phase of the Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan under the terms and conditions outlined within the Cooperative Agreement for the Restoration of Mountain Lake, 24 July 1998. The overall goal of the Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan is to improve the health of the lake and adjacent shoreline and terrestrial environments within the 14.25-acre Project Area. This document analyzes three site plan alternatives (Alternatives 1, 2, and 3) and a no action alternative. It is a project-level EA that is based upon the Presidio Trust Act and the 1994 General Management Plan Amendment for the Presidio of San Francisco (GMPA) prepared by the NPS, a planning document that provides guidelines regarding the management, use, and development of the Presidio.
