- Floating Residents: Couple Stays Afloat in Mission Creek Home | The Regulars

- Description
- When Bob Isaacson moved into the Mission Creek Harbor community 38 years ago, the landscape looked very different from what exists today.
“It was fairly grubby. It was really outcast,” says Isaacson, 88. “There was a bunch of people that lived in Islais Creek on houseboats and the city wanted to get rid of them, so they told the port who was in charge that if they didn’t provide a place for them, they’d move the houseboats by City Hall and burn them.”
Today, Isaacson and his wife, Ginny Stearns, live in a two-bedroom floating home among 19 other homes lined up along a dock in Mission Creek. Their community is surrounded by newly constructed housing and mixed-use buildings, but they have managed to stand strong amid the development.

His specialty, according to his team, are the one-of-a-kind curves it takes to make the seats and roofing of the cable car. “They learned that I have this technique to work on these garlands and curves and twists,” says Ferreira. “The better the challenge, the more I put my mind into it.” #CableCar #Carpentry #SanFrancisco #Restoration

- The Doodler: A Closer Look at the Story Behind the Podcast
- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- Nearly 50 years ago, a monster terrorized San Francisco’s gay community. He was coined “the Doodler” and is believed to have killed as many people as the Zodiac Killer, possibly more, and yet never achieved the same notoriety. Even as the LGBTQ movement roared to life in the city, the Doodler haunted its queer nightlife scene in 1974 and 1975.
Plagued by complicated evidence, a frightened public, and hesitation from victims’ friends and associates—who feared involvement would out them to family and employers—the investigation went cold, and the killer was never caught.
San Francisco Chronicle journalist and podcast host Kevin Fagan sits down with Tom Ammiano, Anne Kronenberg, and Melissa Stevens Honrath to discuss his eight-part podcast and story series, and reflect on how the Doodler got away with murder in a tumultuous era. This event was hosted by the GLBT Historical Society.

- The Boy Who Learned to Be a Real Puppeteer

- Description
- Will Lewis, who is 14 and lives in Oakland, has been making puppets since he was 2. He said it took a while to get the hang of it. “I only started making really good ones when I was 7.”
He makes the puppets, out of epoxy resin. He writes the scripts. He composes the music. He builds the sets. And he somehow finds the time to attend eighth grade and do his homework.
Right now, Will is putting together his own version of the Don Quixote story. It took him only 15 minutes to sculpt the Don, he said, because he knew in his mind’s eye what Don Quixote looks like. But Dulcinea, the Don’s magical princess, took weeks. She was tricky, because the goop he uses to sculpt the puppets remains pliable for only half an hour. Dulcinea had a lot of false starts, Will said.
“She went through three plastic surgeries,” Will said.

- San Leandro police have arrested two suspects — one an 11-year-old boy — in the robbery of an 80-year-old man, police said Wednesday. The robbery occurred around 4 p.m. Saturday on the 14200 block of Acapulco Road as the man was taking an afternoon stroll, according to a statement from the San Leandro Police Department.
The suspects, ages 11 and 17, pushed the victim to the ground and demanded he hand over his wallet, according to police. They forcibly removed the man’s Fitbit wrist band as he screamed for help and then fled the scene in a blue Subaru sedan. The victim suffered minor injuries but did not require medical attention, police said.
The 11-year-old boy was driving a vehicle that was stolen in Oakland on Monday, police said. A few hours after the robbery of the older man, a 19-year-old woman was robbed of her purse on the 500 block of Bancroft Avenue.

- "The Real Pandemic Is Being Homeless": Oakland Couple Lives In Tent During COVID
- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- Larry Greer, 56, lives in a tent in Oakland with his wife Angela, part of a ramshackle settlement under I-980 that has grown significantly since the coronavirus crisis hit.
“I never considered a shelter,” Greer said, straightening as tall as he can with his perennially stiff back, which he says he injured decades ago when on a state prisoner firefighting crew. “We are a community here, but there are people in these tents who don’t believe there’s a virus at all.” He shook his head. “Mmm, mmm,” he said. “You ask me, the real pandemic is homelessness.”

- The Pandemic Devastated Homeless People. Here's How One Essential Worker Helps Them
- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- When the pandemic first hit San Francisco and raced through homeless shelters, Tonya Allen did everything she could. She put up hand-washing stations, offered masks to the guests, closed common areas. She also bought supplies and food for her employees — she knew they’d be working long hours and might not get off in time to grab toilet paper or eggs. She packed little snack bags, too.
Tonya works at the Hamilton Families homeless shelter on Golden Gate Avenue. “Essential is essential,” she says. “We can’t close, because if we close, our families go back out on the street.” #Homelessness #EssentialWorker #Pandemic

- A Tribute to Essential Workers Who Risk Their Lives Amid the Pandemic
- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- Essential work has always been essential work. It just took a pandemic for many to recognize it as such. Here are the images and words of those who have, to varying degrees, risked their health to keep a nation working.
Cashiers and food service workers might be called heroes now, but we know that the essential workers risking the most often make the least. We also know that the burden of this frontline work falls disproportionately to women and people of color. As COVID-19 rips through meatpacking plants and restaurants and farms, it finds footholds in communities with fewer resources, further straining already strained families.
It remains to be seen whether we will continue to respect this work after the pandemic eventually fades — and moreover, whether we might offer essential workers more than heartfelt thanks.
For the past four months, The Chronicle has spent time with more than a dozen essential workers to hear about their work and their ...

- The Violinist: How Musician's Passion Inspires San Francisco's Gay Community

- Description
- Kippy Marks didn’t always know he wanted to be a violinist. Struggling to cope with his parent’s divorce as a child and trying to understand “his place in the world,” he decided he’d be a lawyer. And then president. But one day, in the fourth grade, his true calling came to light.
He was giving a presentation to his class when the school orchestra walked in. They unpacked their instruments and started to play, and he watched in disbelief as he lost the attention of his classmates. Then he noticed the violinist in the group. “I just watched the body mechanics of the man playing violin, and saw the triangular shape he made with his body and I knew I could do that too,” Marks said. When the band asked after their performance if anyone wanted to try one of the instruments, Marks raised his hand. He grabbed the violin, played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and looked to see if his audience was captivated. They were.
“Play it again!” his classmates ye...
