From page 8 the giant rainbow flag at Harvey Milk Plaza and will soon replace the iconic rainbow banners lining our streets. And this month, we’re launching a new program to help fill vacant storefronts with small incentive grants to new businesses, starting with the LGBTQ-themed Welcome Castro gift shop and neighborhood visitor center opening in the old Levi’s space.

Despite all these efforts, we continue to feel the strain of the drop off in foot traffic resulting from all the business closures – including the majestic Castro Theatre, which has been activated only occasionally since the pandemic shutdown.

Everyone knows that the Castro Theatre has historically been an economic driver for the neighborhood, an anchor that, prior to the pandemic, drew crowds for film, concerts, and events on a daily basis. While filmgoing audiences have declined in recent years, the Castro has adapted and needs to continue to do so. For the last 50-plus years, it has also been a bedrock foundation of LGBTQ culture, which is the main driver of tourism in our internationally renowned neighborhood.

In the matter of the application of MADELINE BETH BOURGEOIS, for change of name having been filed in Superior Court, and it appears from said application that petitioner MADELINE BETH BOURGEOIS is requesting that the name MADELINE BETH BOURGEOIS be changed to MADELINE BOURGEOIS BRESSLER. Now therefore, it is obscene material through the U.S. mail. The material in question was a series of black and white photographs, taken by Mizer, of young bodybuilders wearing what were known as posing straps – a precursor to the G-string.

Womack, who died in 1985, occupied a central position in 1960s gay publishing, including winning the 1962 U.S. Supreme Court case Manual Enterprises v. Day, which confirmed that published materials directed toward gays and lesbians could not automatically be considered obscene, according to a web- supportive of seeing San Francisco allow safe injection sites open up as long as they are not in residential areas. (As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last week, while Ronen has been working to see such a facility overseen by a local nonprofit open in her district, City Attorney David Chiu’s legal concerns have blocked the effort.)

And this is why – despite all the controversy amid community concerns about the displacement of film and LGBTQ culture – Castro Merchants has been hopeful that Another Planet Entertainment will bring our treasured theater back to life. Balancing the interests of our members who are as concerned for their businesses as I am, we would love to be able to offer APE our full-throated support. And indeed, while still only promising programming on average every other night once their proposed remodeling is complete in a couple of years, this would certainly be an improvement over the last 15 months.

We’d love to see APE renovate and program our iconic movie palace with diverse film and music, and LGBTQ programming every day and night of the year. Clearly, this would be a badly needed shot in the arm for the neighborhood and the city, and who wouldn’t like to see the 101-year-old theater cleaned up and restored to her former glory, made more accessible, safer, and as beautiful as she deserves?

Nevertheless, we are concerned.

On Monday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to fully landmark the interior of the Castro Theatre, which could prevent the theater from being converted to site about him.

Mr. Hurles’ obituary noted that like Mizer before him, he befriended his models, even though they often stole money and equipment from him. “Still, Hurles referred to many of them as his friends, including models who would go on to mainstream gay porn, including Peter O’Brien and Scott O’Hara.” (O’Hara died in 1998.)

Mr. Hurles counted filmmaker John Waters and Mizer himself among his friends as well, influencing Mizer’s work later in his career. Mr. Hurles was an who wants to address their addiction should not end up on a waitlist for admittance to a facility that will assist them in getting sober.

“I support it in nonresidential areas as a tool and not as the only solution,” Chandler said of the facilities. “I believe San Francisco needs to completely renovate and completely redo how we are responding to the opiate crisis. We need to invest significant resources into detox a multi-purpose concert hall as APE proposes. Specifically, an amendment proposed by District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston would require fixed seating in the orchestra level.

Earlier this month, the Castro Merchants membership voted that we will endorse APE’s plans for the Castro Theatre – but only once it produces an economic report that evaluates the likely impacts of its business plan on the neighborhood. And it must agree to participate in good faith negotiations with community groups that wish to protect the theater, and expand and diversify their planned film and LGBTQ programming.

We wait, with hope, for a response.

Castro Merchants has always been on the side of our small business members, and in the spirit of Harvey Milk, we will continue to work for an inclusive, diverse, and prosperous gayborhood that lifts everyone up to their full potential under that rainbow flag.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MUI TAI VONG IN SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO: FILE PES-21-304531

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MUI TAI VONG. A Petition for Probate has been filed by PHAT VINH CAM & NAM MUOI AU AKA MUOI NAM AU in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco. The Petition for Probate requests that NAM MUOI AU AKA MUOI NAM AU be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: MAY 01, 2023, 9:00 am, Dept. 204, Superior Court of California, 400 McAllister St., San Francisco, CA 94102. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the latter of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined by section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: JOHN CHOW, ESQ.
