Potrero View 2022: December

Across the globe, while most of us are sleeping, hundreds of scientists toil through the night collecting data to be compiled and analyzed as a means to understand the nature of outer space. Last month Berkeley native and Rice University doctoral student, Asa Stahl, spent roughly a week at the McDonald Observatory in West Texas, deploying the more than half-century old Harlan J. Smith telescope to map faraway cosmic features, including potential planets. During his night shift Stahl constantly calibrates data, which he uses to manually reposition the 107-inch telescope so that it steadily captures the

Last month co-founders Debbie Findling and Abby Porth, accompanied by Marsha Attie, officially opened The Memory Garden, located at Sinai Memorial in Colma, a first-of-its-kind place to mourn fertility loss in a Jewish context. Historically Judaism didn't have a ritual to mark stillborn, miscarriage, and other unrealized dreams; high infant mortality rates would have made the practice of such rituals nearly constant in the pre-modern era. As a result, those suffering fertility loss were left isolated, silent in the context of a religion that focuses on communal practices to mark time, prayer and events. In the face of their own multiple losses more than a decade ago, Findling and Porth worked patiently and persistently to create the garden, now open to anyone in need of a place carefully designed to hold sacred ground for fertility-related grief.

PUBLISHER’S VIEW

CALIFORNIA

BY STEVEN J. MOSS

“It ain’t over till the fat lady sings,” goes a pre-woke idiom, perhaps more respectfully phrased as, “it isn’t over until the beautiful human being sings their final farewell song.” Either way, it’s over, California, at least the latest eco-cultural tech-bro (anti-) social media wave. Musk has cut Twitter into Twit, Zuckerberg has meta on his mind, and the army of Peter Pan app developers has decamped to Miami or Manhattan. Goodbye to a grim era, which was nowhere near as fun as the endless Summer of Love, the 1950s beatnik and 1990s art explosion that begat Burning Man, or the period in which Apollo missions to the moon and other space-related activities were the state’s high-tech darlings.

What next, a Californian might ask. Because there’s always something next. And here’s what it is: a return to the can-do creativity in which the Golden Gate Bridge was built, the State Water Project was constructed, and the University of California, supported by California State Universities and the

community college system, emerged as the nation’s most prized higher education system. It’s time, that is, for us and our government to excel at creating a better future, in real life.

The stakes are far higher than whether a video of a baby licking a cat will go viral, or if calling Trump a poo-poo head violates Facebook’s moral code (the correct appellation is President Poo-Poo Head). As this, last year’s, and next year’s Marvel movie might have it, the fate of the entire planet rests on California. The state, almost alone, will determine whether a significant population can withdraw from fossil fuels as a climate right strategy while maintaining not just a decent standard of living, but a joie de vivre that makes life worth living. What’s more, with democratic discourse and political fair play beaten down throughout the globe in part because of California’s contribution to creating social media, the state has an extra responsibility to safeguard

The Canyon in Mission Rock Nearing Completion

The Canyon, the tallest residential tower built in San Francisco this year, is a 23-story residential building located on Parcel A in Mission Rock along the Mission Bay waterfront. Mission Rock Partners, a joint venture between

the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer, is redeveloping 28 acres of former surface parking with more than a thousand units of housing, offices, retail, and public parks.

Letters to the Editor

SHORT CUTS

No More Needles

The California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) has decided to shutter the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM), which first opened in 1980. ACTCM will no longer accept new students but will work with currently enrolled scholars to complete their degrees within a designated schedule. CIIS and ACTCM merged in 2015, at the time stating that “The union of the two institutions expands opportunities for mind, body, and spirit education and research.” Apparently, what didn’t expand was the acupuncture school’s finances.

Bus Yard Development Lurches Forward

A plan to modernize the Potrero bus storage yard has moved to the next stop, with the City selecting a development team for the project. In 2017, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency initiated a $2.3 billion multiyear effort to repair, renovate, and modernize the agency’s facilities, including the more than a century old Potrero yard. Six bus routes originate at the 4.4-acre facility, located at Bryant and Mariposa streets, across from Franklin Square Playground. The redevelopment, which calls for 595 housing units and a new bus storage depot, will be taken on by a newly formed joint venture led by Plenary, an Australian public infrastructure developer, in collaboration with Mission Economic Development Agency, Young Community Developers, Tabernacle

Community Development Corp. and Presidio Development Partners. There’s no timeline for when the project might break ground; complex projects such as this one can take years to secure approvals and financing.

Emails Unanswered

District 10 supervisorial aide Natalie Gee asked the View to encourage constituents to express their opinions by publishing her office’s email address. The View already does that. Yet several emails to Gee and the office from the paper have gone unanswered. Mixed message much? All supervisorial offices are outfitted with an expensive subscription to Salesforce as a means to manage residents’ communications. One suspects that this tool isn’t used much, if at all; probably another costly waste of money, sitting right in front of decisionmakers.

Esprit Park Retailored

At the end of this month or early next, Esprit Park will be closed for renovations, fenced from people and dogs. The redesign, five years in the making, will take roughly 12 months, at a cost of $7 million, most of which will be paid from an University of California, San Francisco grant. More than 50 sick or dying trees and shrubs will be removed by mid-February, to avoid disrupting nesting birds. A stitch in time hopefully saves essential green space in Dogpatch.

Editor,

I saw “Proposed Bike Lane on 17th Street Hits Speed Bumps” in the October issue and wanted to write as a Potrero Hill resident to say that I strongly support the plan to put protected bike lanes on 17th Street. My wife, children and I frequently bike on 17th to get to the gym, the doctor or to visit friends. It is the main east-west corridor for people traveling by bike, but it is currently not safe because people on bikes risk getting hit by an opening car door.

Often overlooked is the fact that a number of San Francisco residents ride bikes because they cannot afford a car. We also need to make 17th Street a safer route for the sake of these members of our community.

Peter Belden, Vermont Street

Editor,

I’m writing in response to “Proposed Bike Lane on 17th Street Hits Speed Bumps,” in the October 2022 edition. I live in Potrero Hill and work in Dogpatch. I’m fortunate enough to have a short commute which means I’m biking down 17th Street several times a day. I also street-park a car in the neighborhood for longer trips.

As both a driver and cyclist, and frequent customer of businesses on 17th/18th Streets, I was surprised by the article. Folks who live in the neighborhood know that most parking capacity comes from perpendicular parking on north-south streets. These spaces work for both passenger cars and trailers. We’d lose a small portion of the total parking capacity in the neighborhood. In exchange, we’d make 17th Street much more safe and accessible, especially for children, parents, and other groups who are typically excluded from cycling.

Hazel’s Kitchen Celebrates 30 Years with Gratitude

BY REBEKAH MOAN

Hazel’s Kitchen, 1319 18th Street, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Owner Leslie Goldberg attributes the sandwich shop’s longevity to nurturing a loving community first and making money second. This approach has kept staff turnover low. One or more members of the Venegas family – Juan, Daniel, Miguel, and Carlos – have worked at Hazel’s Kitchen at various times since its inception.

“It’s why the people who work there stay for so long,” Goldberg said. “They care about it like it’s their own place. They take pride in working at Hazel’s Kitchen and the food we serve. We want people to make money and do what they like doing, but we care about each other. That’s been the philosophy of Hazel’s Kitchen since the start and because of that, people feel the magic.”

Some of that “magic” is evident in the shop’s gratitude tree. With a table and chairs nestled beneath it, people

write down what they’re grateful for on a slip of paper and tie it to the tree’s branches.

“People come just for the gratitude tree,” Goldberg said. “People have told me when they have a bad day, they sit under that tree, read all the things people are grateful for, and they feel better. Hazel’s Kitchen is a piece of magic that came through me and is certainly not because of me. It’s because of all of us.”

Before opening Hazel’s Goldberg hung out at next door’s Farley’s. She

became best friends with the manager, Suzy, as well as pals with the owner, Roger Hillyard. One day in 1992, Goldberg and Suzy sat on the sunny side of 18th street and noticed an empty storefront.

“I want to do something there,” Goldberg told her friend. “I want to open something and be a part of the neighborhood.”

She had retail experience and was

interested in creating a space where people could come in for a minute or two, say hello to their neighbors, and go.

“That was the whole idea. Being seen and being part of a community,” she said.

Goldberg thought of Hazel’s Kitchen as a connection and complement to Farley’s, a neighborhood hub. The coffee shop is named for Hillyard’s grandfa-

ther, Jack Farley. Goldberg discovered that Hillyard’s grandmother was named Hazel. Hillyard shared a box of Hazel’s belongings with Goldberg. Inside was a cookbook and a swatch of seafoam green paint, popular in the 1950s. Hazel’s Kitchen was born, replete with seafoam green paint adorning the walls.

The eatery started off as a sandwich shop, only open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. so Goldberg could spend time with her twin children, Emma and Jake. Hillyard

and Goldberg agreed to support one another rather than compete. Farley’s only sold sandwiches from Hazel’s Kitchen. When his son, Chris, took over in 2012, Farley’s stopped vending Hazel’s Kitchen’s sandwiches but still refers people to the shop. When customers ask for coffee at Hazel’s Kitchen, they’re directed to Farley’s.

As Goldberg’s children grew up, in 2000 she changed the hours and added breakfast items to the menu:

bagels, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and waffles. Specials, often prompted by regular clients, are frequently created and listed on a sandwich board for others to order, such as the Jordan Special Sandwich: a grilled chicken sandwich with pesto, feta, bacon, veggies, and Hazel’s signature dressing. The most popular items are the grilled chicken melt, breakfast

PETER LINENTHAL | POTRERO

San Francisco Chronicle, February 11, 1907 | A 1908 newspaper article noted that ‘At 18th & Texas & 18th & Connecticut a new business center is springing up, and some retail merchants have moved there from other parts of the city.’ When industries expanded in Dogpatch, then known as a part of The Potrero, many homes were built on the hills above, in what's now called Potrero Hill. In the 1890s, residents asked the City to change the neighborhood’s name to Southern Heights, which had a more aristocratic ring, attractive to builders and homebuyers. Potrero, after all, means pasture in Spanish. Advocates also asked for a water reservoir and a two cow limit. It would take 30 years before water service reached the neighborhood.

Le Marché Cezanne | Mario Rimet, who comes from a small French town, opened Le Marche Cezanne, ‘Your local & organic grocery market’, in November. His father helped with extensive remodeling. The space had been Peter Walbridge’s Big Think Design Studio, and in the 1940s, Sam Goldstein & Son, a dry goods store selling clothing and sewing merchandise. Students at St. Teresa’s School, then located at 19th and Pennsylvania Ave bought uniforms here. The Goldstein’s large home was at 1640 20th Street. PHOTO: Courtesy of Peter Linenthal

Wulzen’s Pharmacy | Wulzen’s Pharmacy had a branch 1400 18th Street from 1919 to 1928. The store continued as the Potrero Pharmacy, Acme Drug Co. and Johnson’s Prescription Pharmacy. Born in 1862, Dietrich Wulzen opened a large drugstore at Castro and 17th He was a photographer who shot outstanding glass-plate negatives of Chinatown, the City in the aftermath 1906 earthquake and fires, and Miwok Native Americans near Yosemite. His son, Frank, worked for San Francisco’s Moulin photography studio. Christopher’s Books opened the location in 1991, long run by Tee Minot from PHOTO: Courtesy of Peter Linenthal

New Potrero Market | Jamil Khuri, ‘Jim’ (center), and Abdallah Shami, ‘Al’ (left), came to the United States from Palestine in 1956. In 1960 they took over the New Potrero Market at 1301 18th Street. Before ATMs, the store served as a kind of neighborhood mini bank. Al kept the produce section fresh and tidy. Jim’s ‘Hello, brother!’ greeted customers. They sold the business in 1998, now run by Jack Mousa from Jordan. PHOTO: Courtesy of Peter Linenthal

The Dixons | (L-R) Katherine Dixon, granddaughter Diane and son Frank. In 1883 Katherine married James Dixon, who lived on Irish Hill in Dogpatch and worked at nearby Pacific Rolling Mills on the bay. Katherine and James bought several San Francisco properties. A 1902 application for water service at their 1400 18th Street property noted ‘No horse here now’. The couple built a three-story building there in 1905, now home to Christopher’s Books. One of the few houses with water service, police were called to control the crowd that gathered by the backyard gate to get water after the earthquake and fires of 1906.

Frank Dixon ran a painting company for many years.

Papito | In 1887, when Serafino Consiglieri was 23, he left Genoa, Italy, came to San Francisco and opened a fruit store on Fourth Street. In 1908, he partnered with John and Anne Sanguinetti and opened the Southern Heights Fruit & Produce Market on 18th Street. The store, renamed the Fortuna Market, continued until 1958. Nicholas Sanguinetti published a memoir about his early days, The Treasure of Potrero Hill, with his dad’s photo on the cover. The space became Good Life Grocery’s first home in 1974, until a 1000 percent rent increase forced a move to 20th Street in 1985. Eliza’s Chinese restaurant opened in the vacant space, followed by Pera restaurant, run by Irfan Yalcin from Turkey. Yalcin continues to operate Papito there, serving Mexican Frenchaccented food, with help from Ruth Auguero from Costa Rica.

Goat Hill Pizza | The Hollander, a restaurant run by a former Ice Capades star, was followed by Allen’s Barbe-que at the space where Goat Hill Pizza opened in 1975, quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite. From 1978 to 1985, Goat Hilda lived in the backyard, raising a couple of kids, Bucky and Loretta. The only leaves left on the yard’s bushes were above the goat’s reach. The goats moved to the country when the restaurant needed the space for an addition.

History Night Tells Story of St. Teresa's Church and School | The pews at St. Teresa’s Church, on 19th Street, were filled last month by Potrero Hill residents and others eager to hear the latest neighborhood history from the Potrero Hill Archives Project. The event focused on the 142 year-old history of the church and its school. Steven Herraiz presented slides documenting the church’s early years in Dogpatch, and its move from Tennessee Street to its present location in 1924. Peter Linenthal described the labeling of Italians without citizenship as ‘enemy aliens’ during World War II and showed video interviews with long-time residents. Rose Marie Ostler told the story of the Sisters of the Presentation's Gold Rush voyage to San Francisco, their work as teachers at St. Teresa’s School, and Father Peter Sammon’s participation in the 1980s Sanctuary Movement that provided a safe haven for Central American refugees.

civil society, including here at home.

The stats are well known. California is the biggest, baddest, coolest, trendsetting nation-state of them all, courtesy of our incredible native awesomeness, world class economy, and a megaphone as large as the Hollywood Hills and Silicon Valley. When we triumph, everybody knows about it. When we fail, same.

Right now, in this moment, we’re not exactly triumphing. The outgoing message is that our streets, formally paved with gold, are presently surfaced with drug-addled mental cases, bedded down on copious amounts of litter, occasionally rousing themselves to hammer a politician or their spouse in the head. Our houses are way too expensive. Our schools are meh, forced to grapple with a myriad of challenges with insufficient resources. Our elected officials try their best, but many suffer from undiagnosed, or perhaps intentionally cultivated, ADHD, and rely on deceptive promises to attract votes. Many of our bureaucratic institutions need to be beat like a rug to dislodge the ground-in dirt. The views are nice, though.

Let’s turn it around, California. For our sakes, and for the world’s.

Excellent government requires excellent citizens, whose goal is not to get rich quick, but to improve the lives and environment of those around them, in a disciplined, transparent way. Fortunately, we’ve been training for this moment for decades. Jungian therapy, primal screaming, Esalen, Hoffman, and Star retreats, LSD and psilocybin, EST, Dianetics, heliotropic breathing. We’ve dived deep to change our consciousness, to be ready for the call, to be the change we want. Black Panthers, United Farmworkers, Vice Versa – the first North American lesbian publication – all emerged in California, a creche for collective individualism. It’s again time to harness our unique and sometimes conflicting mix of intense introspection, self-absorption, communitarianism, creativity, eco-localism, live and let live prosperity and channel it into building a place where everyone wants to be, so that they’ll want to make where they live the same.

We’ve done it before. We can definitely do it again.

We’ll need to focus, to be sure, in ways that we’re not so good at. The adage, no shoes, no shirt, no service – or no foot coverings and torso wrappers of your choosing – should be relentless applied as part of civil society, democratic discourse and associated institutional implementation. Meaning show up, listen when someone else is speaking, don’t lie, don’t steal. Pay people, especially teachers and journalists, what they’re worth, and congruently but in a different direction, do the same for venture capitalists and chief executive officers. Avoid worshipping excessive wealth. Simple rules, really, but revolutionary in today’s freefor-all, even, especially, in California, where the search for gold, metallic or otherwise, is part of our cultural fabric.

At its best, California is the world’s dream machine, and, occasionally, an actual paradise on earth for those who love beauty, tolerance, and creativity. Let’s be at our finest, model to the world a place of environmental peace and equitable prosperity. The next big thing could be authoritarian eco-chaos. Or it could be us.

Hazel’s Kitchen has remained pretty much the same since it opened in 1992, but one thing that’s different is the equipment and ventilation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Goldberg acquired a small loan to purchase brand-new equipment and improve air circulation.

“We were so lucky to get through that tough time,” she said. “We continued to feed people through contactless pickup, took sandwiches to hospitals, and did anything we could to stay in business. It was tough, but everyone persevered and we stuck together. The merchants supported one another and I couldn’t have done it without them. We have such a great community; people who live here but also who work here. I am grateful for the continued love, support, and such good customers.”
