Good afternoon!
The Port of San Francisco’s aging drydocks are falling apart, and the Port has budgeted an emergency $61 million to take down the giant rusting structures before they collapse into the Bay. Joe Eskenazi writes about the end of an era, and how the loss of a working waterfront changed San Francisco.
Siblings Sarahรญ and Juliรกn Rodriguez used to fight as kids growing up in the Bayview, but now they’re running 4Life, a community arts business in Bayview-Hunters Point. Sophie Rerucha talks with them about the politics of their neighborhood.
And Charles Lewis III writes about Laura Elaine Ellis, cofounder of the Black Choreographers Festival, which runs through March 1 at the Dance Mission Theater. See who’s up this week.
More soon,
