The famed Emeryville Chevy's that's right on the San Francisco Bay closed last year, but might become a Benihana. The Japanese hibachi restaurant chain has submitted permits to perform some demolitions on the building, though their taking over the space has not yet been approved by Emeryville City Hall.
City College has opened a building named after former SF supervisor Harry Britt, an aide to Harvey Milk who was appointed to Milk's Board of Supervisors seat after his assassination in 1978. Former supervisor Tom Ammiano was on hand, and said Britt was an innovator and a pioneer around issues like healthcare and housing, vacancy control, and police reform, all of it—and of course, domestic partners.
SFPD is warning of scammers impersonating Chinese police, conning Chinese-Americans into giving them personal information, and asking for money to clear their names of crimes.
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik had her nomination to be UN Ambassador yanked, because if she left the House of Representatives, the Republicans might lose their majority.
