Reel by The San Francisco Standard
Six small businesses at Haight and Ashbury — a jewelry store, a barbershop, a toy store, a gift shop, a vintage boutique, and a Nepalese art shop — are fighting to stay in the building they’ve rented for as long as 32 years. Nonprofit SF Heritage, which owns the 123-year-old Doolan-Larson building, wants to combine their storefronts into a cafe and “neighborhood living room,” with a broadcast studio for Seattle radio station KEXP upstairs. The merchants hung banners during last weekend’s street fair: “Heritage should preserve community not displace it.” All things SF, #inrealtime. Read the full story at sfstandard.com.

@borakaheather This change is completely against of the wishes of Norman
@jeremy_obriant Several available storefronts up and down the street to relocate to, and plenty of lead time. KEXP is a big win for the neighborhood and the city!
@jd_jenkins_ii More importantly… Why are you and the [now being sued for sexual harassment] SF Standard sooooo fucking ANNOYING?

@hudson.hyun.lim Are they going to redevelop the whole building? Can’t they add one more floor to the plan, let the tenants stay, and keep the ground floor retail spaces? Does the radio studio have to be on ground floor?
