The business is located on Third Street between Galvez and Hudson avenues in the Bayview neighborhood. The building is designated as San Francisco Landmark #263 for its association with the live and work of Sam Jordan. Through Jordan’s advocacy and leadership, the bar was used to support the educational, economic, political, and cultural vitality of the Bayview’s African American community by hosting scholarship fundraisers, hosting African American businessmen’s luncheons, political brainstorming sessions, and the Black Panther Breakfast Program that provided hot meals to school children. Cultural events at the bar highlighted local musicians as well as famous musical performers including Ike and Tina Turner, Sugar Pie DeSanto, and Bobby Freeman. Jordan was the first African American to run for San Francisco Mayor and although he did not win, he made significant contributions to the local African American civil rights movement and left a lasting impact on his community.

    Men’s Health, October 2009 Here's what the President told us: "I actually think (taxing soda) is an idea that we should be exploring. There's no doubt that our kids drink way too much soda. And every study that's been done about obesity shows that there is as high a correlation between increased soda consumption and obesity as just about anything else.

  • Potrero View
    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 13, 2020 THE POTRERO VIEW Application No.: LBR-2019-20-007 Business Name: The Potrero View Business Address: 1459 18th St., #214 District: District 10 Applicant: Bettina Cohen, Marketing Manager Nomination Date: July 15, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Shamann Walton Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Potrero View (the “View”) is San Francisco's oldest continuously published community newspaper, beginning in 1970. Dubbing themselves the “Potrero Hill Mob,” Bill and Jodie Dawson, Lenny Anderson, Micky Ostler and Rose Marie Sicoli launched The Potrero View out of the Dawson’s 284 Connecticut Street home. Aspiring to emerge into a newspaper that could influence municipal policy decisions, they received guidance from Eileen Maloney, their first editor who had journalism experience at Long Island’s Newsday and San Francisco's Progress. Potrero Hill resident Ruth Passen started contributing to the View in January 1971. That spring, Passen assumed editorial duties from Maloney, and in 1972, Passen succeeded the Dawsons as publisher of The Potrero View. She retired and turned the newspaper over to Steven Moss in 2006. The Potrero View began publishing its issues from offices in the basement of the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House in June 1972, not long after community advocate Enola Maxwell was elected director of the nonprofit. "The Nabe," as 953 De Haro is affectionately called by locals, is a Potrero Hill landmark, dating back to 1922, and has continuously housed churches or nonprofits that have a mission to serve community members in need, with an emphasis on youth and education.

  • Institutional Structure and Mayoral Success in Three California Cities
    10.1177/1078087404265391Mullin et al. / CITY CAESARS?URBAN AFFAIRS REVIEW / September 2004 ARTICLE CITY CAESARS? Institutional Structure and Mayoral Success in Three California Cities MEGAN MULLIN University of California, Berkeley GILLIAN PEELE Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, United Kingdom BRUCE E. CAIN University of California, Berkeley Recently, voters in many large cities have approved charter reforms that strengthen the power of the executive, suggesting that big city residents and mayors themselves view the formal authority of the office as an important influence on whether a mayor will be successful in solving urban problems. This article employs qualitative data from three California cities to specify how struc- tural characteristics interact with personal factors to facilitate mayoral leadership. The authors find that city structure does not directly determine a mayor’s goals and leadership style, but it does create constraints and opportunities that influence whether a mayor’s personal strategies will succeed. Keywords: mayors; city structure; city charter; leadership; reform In the past 20 years, several large California cities have adopted charter reforms that enhanced the formal authority of the mayor’s office. San Jose started the trend in 1986 by increasing the mayor’s powers within the existing council-manager form of government. In 1993, Fresno decided to abandon the council-manager system altogether, and its mayor became the city’s chief AUTHORS’NOTE: A previous version of this article was presented at the 2001 annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, San Francisco. We are grateful to Rachel Goldbrenner for her valuable research assistance on this project. URBAN AFFAIRS REVIEW, Vol.
