New Developments Proposed
for Harding Theater
By J.J. Strahle
Once a theater, then a church, the Harding has sat vacant for more than 12 years.

The long-vacant Harding Theater could see a new tenant in the near future.
This would be a new lease on life for the 82-year-old landmark at 616
Divisadero, which has languished in development limbo for more than a dozen
years. The proposed venture would be the first West Coast outpost for a Chicago
family that runs a couple of classic game arcade and live-event venues.
Danny Marks grew up in the movie theater business. His family owned a
handful of theaters in the Chicago area for nearly 30 years, until multiplexes
started to take over in the early 1990s. Danny and his brother, Doug, ventured
back into the entertainment business in 2012 to open their first Emporium,
followed by a second, larger location last year. Both are in historic, landmarked
buildings in lively neighborhoods, similar to the Divisadero Corridor.
After visiting friends on several trips to San Francisco, Danny walked by
the Harding Theater and “was captivated by its historic nature, and it became
evident why the building is such a cherished part of the Divisadero architectural

NOPNA Stands Up for
Affordable Housing
By Tim Hickey
Housing demands are extremely
high in San Francisco, and
affordable options are limited for
those who don’t fall either below
the poverty level or well above the
median household income.
Many people want to live here,
but planning for supply has not
kept up. The lack of Below Market
Rate (BMR) housing for moderate income households
is limiting diversity and creating an apparent vacuum
of the middle class. According to results from the
Proposition K ballot initiative in 2014, 76 percent of
voters in NoPa’s 10 precincts show support allocating a
third of new housing to BMR units.
The NOPNA board is acutely aware of the affordable
housing shortage and has joined the Duboce Triangle
Neighborhood Association, Lower Haight Merchants
and Neighbors Association, Hayes Valley Neighborhood
Association and Eureka Valley Neighborhood
Association to create the “Policy on Affordable Housing
Units in New Residential Developments.”
This policy mandates a greater percentage of BMR
housing for proposed developments. We believe that
keeping San Francisco neighborhoods accessible to a
broader section of the community is important and vital
in allowing the neighborhood to thrive. Visit NONPA.
org to read the policy.
Tim Hickey is president of the NOPNA board. He has lived
in NoPa since 2010.

landscape.” As with his other ventures, the brothers intend
to maintain the historic elements of the theater in their
design plans.
The arcade will feature many classic games—
video games, pinball, pool, foosball, air hockey and
shuffleboard—to provide nostalgia for the over-40 crowd
and retro-cool for the Millennials. The stage area will
remain, and they hope to bring in live music, dance and
theater. The brothers also intend to serve local and regional
craft beers (and maybe a few from Chicago), and host pop-
up restaurants out of a fixed kitchen and dining area. They
also think the balcony upstairs is both large and intimate
enough for private parties.
Danny intends to move with his family to San Francisco
to open and run the arcade. The brothers take great pride
in being involved in the neighborhoods where they live
and operate. Danny says he and Doug have worked to
be good neighbors, and they claim to have developed
good relationships with the local police and politicians in
Chicago. He intends to do the same at the Harding.
“I love San Francisco and I am beyond excited to
try to get this project off the ground in such a cool
neighborhood,” Danny said.
In May, he presented his proposal to our neighbors at the
Alamo Square Neighborhood Association meeting, where
the turnout and response was healthy. The brothers have so
far been unable to attend a NOPNA General Meeting, but
Danny hopes to present at one in the coming months.
On a related note, Michael Klestoff, owner of the
Harding Theater, and local architect Mark Topetcher, of
TOPetcher Architecture, have drawn up plans for a nine-
unit development in the vacant portion of the L-shaped
parcel that faces Hayes Street. The five-story development
will include one-bedroom units from 705 to 755 square feet
in size, a shared roof deck, bike storage, and parking for up
to three vehicles.
In order to accommodate both developments, the small
mechanical room in the Harding will need to be demolished
and egress paths for the theater will be built into the condo
development. Topetcher attended the NOPNA General
Meeting in May and presented an overview of the proposal.
The condo proposal is now under environmental review
with the city planning department.

NoPa Residential Parking Permits Now Available
By Mimi Sparrow
NoPa residents are now able to apply for Residential
Parking Permits (RPP) from the SFMTA.
Car owners who live between Fell Street, Masonic
Avenue, Fulton Street and Divisadero Street can apply for
a permit within the new parking Area Q. Those who live
between Fulton and Golden Gate Avenue, between Masonic
and Divisadero, can apply for a permit within the recently
expanded Area P. Area Q also extends east of Divisadero,
encompassing Alamo Square.
The permits exempt vehicles from RPP time limit
restrictions only. Street cleaning, red zone, white zone and
all other parking restrictions, including parking meters, still
apply. Vehicles parked in the same space for more than 72
hours are subject to citation and towing.
Business establishments in the RPP areas are eligible
for one permit per independent office space. Permits are
also available for schools, fire stations, medical and child
caregivers, students and active military personnel.
Permit fees for Areas P and Q are $111. Delinquent
parking citations must be paid prior to a permit being
issued. Applications for a RPP require:
c) A check made payable to the San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency for $111.
d) The completed RPP application.
For Area Q residents, the annual RPP fee covers the first
18 months and is valid through December 2016. Thereafter,
permits will be renewable for one year. Enforcement for
Area Q will begin on September 1.
For Area P residents, the annual RPP fee is valid through
March 2016. After March 2016, permits will be renewable
for one year. Renewal notices will automatically be mailed
to all existing permit holders.
The SFMTA has mailed RPP Permit Applications to all
residents of Area Q and the expanded Area P. If you are
a resident of Area Q or the expanded Area P and did not
receive an application, you can find the application online
at SFMTA.com.
The SFMTA requests that residents apply for permits by
mail and allow up to three weeks for processing. In-person
applications will be accepted at the SFMTA Customer
Service Center at 11 South Van Ness Ave. from 8 a.m.-5
p.m., Monday through Friday.

Make your mark with
a landmark home.
NOPA and Alamo Square are San Francisco’s new luxury neighborhoods; of course, we’ve long known that—and
Bonnie invested here over 20 years ago. As new investors catch on to the charms of our area, now is an ideal
time to secure your slice of the city. Many homes here are historic treasures, and will only gain cachet as time
passes; no Realtor better understands the intrinsic value of homeownership better than Bonnie. She knows San
Francisco, she knows the industry, and she can successfully negotiate any market, anytime. That’s why her past
clients swear by her, and why 80% of them now own multiple properties.

Get to Know Heart of Gold Boutique
By Sydney Leto
On Sunday, May 10, the former
97 Cent Store at 777 Divisadero
St. reopened under new ownership
as Heart of Gold, a boutique offering
vintage and designer clothing,
furnishings and accessories.
Heart of Gold is the passion project
of NoPa resident Gene Barnes, 32.
Barnes has lived in the neighborhood
for nearly a decade and had noticed
its lack of retail. He had a vision for a
boutique, but the project came to life
sooner than expected when he passed
a handwritten “For Rent” sign in
January while walking his dog.
Barnes called on his friends
to help get the project moving on a
short deadline and tight budget. Rather
than call in professionals to redo the
floors, Barnes repurposed barn wood
from the North Bay and drove around
the city collecting bricks from ads
on Craigslist.
The boutique’s name comes from
the stories Barnes heard about his
late mother and “her heart of gold.”
Her memory has served as inspiration
throughout his life, Barnes said, and
is why he worked to finish the store
in time for a soft opening on
Mother’s Day.
Inside, Heart of Gold is filled with
bright vanity lights, leather couches
and subtle touches of gold paint.
“I feel like when I come in here it’s
warm and vital, like you’re shopping
in someone’s home,” said Gino Ross,
an old friend of Barnes who was
visiting from Southern California.
On either side of the store, tall
built-in shelves are filled with a
curated collection of denim vests,
wool cardigans, sequined tops and sun
hats that Barnes has hand-picked from
vintage stores and flea markets. On
tables made from repurposed doors,
the store also offers a shoe collection
ranging from white converse sneakers
to patent leather Prada heels. Heart
Page 6
of Gold currently sells mostly
secondhand clothing, but Barnes plans
to carry other well-known brands
like RRL by Ralph Lauren and Levi’s
Made & Crafted, as well as local
labels like John Elliot & Co.
“My vision for the store was to
have people feel as if they were being
transported to another time when they
walk in,” said Barnes as Ray Charles’s
“I Got a Woman” played in the
background. “I want this store, and the
lifestyle brand that is Heart of Gold,
to represent timelessness and a feeling
that what you find here offers a kind of
value that can’t be bought.”
A former basketball player at
UCLA, Barnes now works as a life
coach and youth mentor. His long
term plan is to link Heart of Gold with
his nonprofit, Ideal Futures, which
aims to help kids get to college with
mentorship, community and hard
work.
Sydney Leto is a recent graduate of
Wake Forest University and a new resident
of NoPa.

North Panhandle News, July/August 2015www.nopna.org Meet Capt. Greg McEachern of Northern Station
By Libby Estell
The citywide police redistricting that took effect July
19 redrew the boundaries of many police districts.
Although nearly all of NoPa remains within Park District,
both sides of Divisadero Street—from the Marina down to
Waller Street—are now part of Northern District.
That means it’s time to get to know Capt. Greg
McEachern, the commanding officer at Northern Station for
almost three years.
“We’ve picked up quite a bit of territory and housing
developments, another hospital and at least seven additional
schools,” McEachern said. “The good thing for us, I
believe, is that the area is very close to our station, so our
response time should be improved.”
Northern Station, at Turk and Fillmore streets, is also a
larger facility than Park Station, with double the officers,
more cars, and additional personnel. McEachern said his
station is growing, with plans to reach a total of just over
120 officers in the coming months.
“Now that we have additional
staffing, I’d like to have foot beats
on the commercial corridors,
including Divisadero.”
“Now that we have additional staffing, I’d like to
have foot beats on the commercial corridors, including
Divisadero,” McEachern said. “It’s going to take time for
the patrol officers to get to know the community and the
businesses that are there.”
McEachern, a 25-year
veteran and second-
generation SFPD officer
with a brother and son
on the force as well, is
no stranger to patrol. “In
my career, I’ve spent a
majority of my time on
patrol, so I’m comfortable
with that.”
Before taking command
of Northern in December
2012, McEachern served
there twice as a lieutenant.
“What I like about
Northern is the diversity of
the community groups and
concerns and the variety of criminal activity that we work
with,” he said. “It’s one of the ideal stations to work at as a
commanding officer.”

McEachern is a fourth-generation native San Franciscan
and a believer in the power of community. “Growing up in
the city and knowing this area since childhood has helped
me build our community relations so that when there are
challenges we can have a constructive dialogue.”
Two of McEachern’s lieutenants attended the July 16
NOPNA General Meeting, and he encourages neighbors
to attend the community meets at Northern Station on
the second Thursday of every month. “I know I can’t be
successful without the community’s input and support.”

Bootcamp
The faucet in Barbara’s apartment started leaking, but
she was hesitant to ask for a repair. After Garrett’s
apartment was sold, the new property manager came with
a series of questionnaires, and he wasn’t sure whether he
needed to fill them out. Jane paid rent a few days late,
and her landlord responded with a $100 penalty. They all
wanted to know, “What are my rights as a tenant in San
Francisco?”
It’s a question on many minds, as eviction rates continue
to rise and the threat of displacement looms. Although it’s
true that tenants have tools to protect themselves, it can be
difficult to navigate the legal landscape alone.
That’s why my organization, Tenants Together, partnered
with the San Francisco Tenants Union to conduct Tenant
Rights Bootcamps this summer. We took tenant rights
trainings to the neighborhood level—at cafes, community
centers, and churches—so San Franciscans could learn their
rights and how to fight displacement.
“Although it’s true that tenants
have tools to protect themselves,
it can be difficult to navigate the
legal landscape alone.”
What these bootcamps showed is that there is an
incredible demand among tenants to learn their rights.
When we launched the project in May, we planned to
hold weekly bootcamps. But when they turned out to be
standing-room only, with nearly twice as many attendees
as expected, we decided to double down and host two
bootcamps a week through July.
In addition to the high demand, we also saw how the
bootcamps brought our community together. Part of the
program involved group breakout sessions with tenant
counselors, where attendees can get basic information and
referrals to legal aid groups. We found that often a tenant
would ask a question in their small group and find that a
neighbor is going through the same experience. There’s
tremendous value in tenants knowing they’re not fighting
these battles alone.
If you have questions about your rights as a tenant or
would like more information, visit www.tenantbootcamp.org.

Putting Pedestrians First
By Tim Hickey

As an early signer of Vision Zero,
NOPNA has worked to reduce
pedestrian and cyclist injuries in our
neighborhood and throughout the
city. The number of serious injuries
that pedestrians continue to sustain
indicates that much more work needs
to be done. This month, we focus on
a means of travel everyone has used:
sidewalks and crosswalks.
Pedestrians
Though it has been proven that the
majority of collisions are caused by
drivers, it is critical that pedestrians
remain aware of their surroundings
at all times. Bear in mind that 41%
of collisions between vehicles and
pedestrians occur in a crosswalk. The
San Francisco Department of Public
Health lists the key precautions to take
when making your way around our
city on foot:
• Don’t assume that drivers see you.
Make eye contact with drivers so
they see you and understand your
intention.
• Look left, right, and left again. If it’s
clear, begin crossing.
• Continue to check for traffic in all
directions, especially for vehicles
turning right on red.
• Don’t use cell phones and other
electronics while crossing the street.
• Pedestrians are not allowed in
bicycle lanes, even while jogging or
skating.
• Don’t step into the street from
between parked cars.
Drivers
It’s important to remember that in
many traffic scenarios, pedestrians
have the right of way. By keeping an
eye out for pedestrians and adhering to
right-of-way laws, you can help reduce
the number of incidents and make San
Francisco safe for everyone. Here’s
a refresher of our city’s right-of-way
laws and the fines associated with
violating them—plus administrative
fees, one point on your license and
possible injury or death.
• Turning right on a red light without
yielding to pedestrians, $238
• Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a
crosswalk, $238
• Not allowing a pedestrian to clear
the street before driving through a
green light, $238
• Passing a standing streetcar or cable
car, $238
• Passing a car which has stopped for
a pedestrian, $490

What’s the 4-1-1?
By Kandace Kaylor
New restaurants, community meetings, block parties,
parking permits, surveys—with so many things
happening in NoPa, it’s sometimes challenging to stay
informed.
The first time I organized a community event, I walked
around the neighborhood passing out flyers to strangers
on the street. Armed with a stapler and roll of tape, I hung
posters in coffee shops and laundromats. I hoped word
would spread and at least a few people would attend.
Around that time, I discovered the Neighborhoods app
on Facebook and created an account. Little did I know, that
would start a new way of engaging with our community.

North Panhandle News, July/August 2015www.nopna.org Personal Chef Puts Nutrition on the Table
By Libby Estell
Ten years after going vegan, NoPa resident
Stacey Ellis left a career in hospitality
PR last December to launch Herb’n Vegan,
her personal chef business. “I was looking for
my work to be personal and meaningful. My
happy place is the kitchen,” Ellis says. “I did
a lot of soul-searching and settled on personal
cheffing as a way to combine my passions for
vegan food, the planet, the environment, and
public health.”
Herb’n Vegan offers four basic services:
personal chef, dinner parties, cooking classes
and pantry makeovers.
As a personal chef Ellis provides clients
with weekly in-home planning and preparation
of family dinners, so they come home to a fridge
full of heat-and-serve vegan meals.

“Most of my clients say they have five meals
they make every week in rotation, and that leaves lots of room for improvement
in nutrition and variety,” Ellis says, adding that clients can feed a family of four
for about what they would spend eating out or doing takeout that often.
Ellis also offers small-group cooking classes and dinner parties in clients’
homes. “Dinner parties are sort of my passion. It’s an expression of my hospitality
and my creativity.”
In May, Ellis used CookApp to host two pop-up dinners in her McAllister
Street home. Both of the six-person seatings sold out, and there are more in the
works. “I do them when I have a menu I feel really confident about and proud
of,” she says.
You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy Ellis’s cooking. “None of the people I
cook for are vegan,” Ellis says. “They just want to do better. And better is good
by me. If everyone did that, it would cause a paradigm shift that would improve
global health and the environment.”

Lava Mae Hopes to Bring Showers
to Area’s Homeless Residents
By Sydney Leto & Libby Estell

Lava Mae’s converted Muni buses each contain two complete bathrooms.
Lava Mae, the mobile hygiene service for the homeless, is proposing to bring
its blue buses to our area, perhaps as early as this month.
A play on the Spanish phrase for “wash me,” Lava Mae has provided showers
in the Mission, SoMa, and the Tenderloin since launching last January. Now,
after raising funds to convert more buses, Lava Mae is planning an expansion
“We go to where the need is,” said Leah Filler, Lava Mae’s community
to the Panhandle, Alamo Square and Haight Ashbury.
One local example of that need centers around the roughly 50 families
and 80 children who sleep at the First Friendship Family Shelter in the First
engagement manager.
Friendship Institutional Baptist Church at 501 Steiner St. There are restrooms
“Most of these parents hold jobs, and the children are in some sort of school,
so you can imagine that hygiene is really important to them,” Filler said. “We’re
not going to Alamo Square expecting to serve a lot of people living on the street
in that neighborhood, but to meet the needs of the children and families living
A Lava Mae bus can set up anywhere it has access to a fire hydrant and a
drain and can provide 42 showers in a six-hour shift. Up to now, the organization
