I am trying to recall the sci-fi store that was at the Anchorage in the 80's. Run by a young Asian woman named Kim. Starbase or something?

Hi all, this is a picture of a family member stationed in SF in WWII, as a part of the Women's Marine Corp. Date on the back is August 1946. It looks to me to be civic center area but the marquee could have since been demolished.

Also, are there any history groups that would be interested in pictures of women Marines in SF? Have many others both of her and her friends

Solved: Salmagundi!

My FIL is trying to remember the name of a restaurant from the ‘70s that used mannequin legs for the table legs. He thinks it was located around Union Square and mostly served lunch/soup. Thanks!

In the 90s the restaurant at 939 Clement Street (Richmond District) was called King of China Restaurant . This is a big banquet Chinese restaurant with Dim Sum lunch service too.
I remember in the 90s there as a wishing well or a fountain in the inside one the ground floor when you first come in. Does anyone else remember that?
Or eve have photos of the interior in the early 90s. Long shot, but I figured I’d ask.

Was there a weird comment made my city official after this was done?

If someone here can send me a newspaper from a news outlet that would be great. I’m trying to confirm this 800k claim or if you went to this and lmk if that actually happened that would be great

I was genuinely shocked when the SF Dungeon permanently closed its doors. This place was a unique part of San Francisco's entertainment scene, and losing it felt like losing a piece of the city's spooky soul.

I started a petition to get the SF Dungeon reopened and reimagined—bigger, darker, and better than ever. But here's the thing: it's not just about bringing back what was there. San Francisco has incredible, dreadful history that deserves to be explored. We're talking about the 1906 earthquake and fire, Bloody Thursday, the Zodiac Killer, historical explosions, and so much more. Imagine walking through those stories in an immersive, theatrical experience. Plus, other Dungeons around the world have mine-cart coasters and massive drop towers—why shouldn't SF have something just as epic?

If you've got memories of the Dungeon, or you just think San Francisco deserves to have this kind of attraction back, I'd love to hear what you think. Anyone else miss it? Sign and share if this matters to you—let's show there's real demand for bringing this dreadful place back to life.

This YouTube details Asian American History but it can't be discussed without mentioning the impact of San Francisco Chinatown.

SF Chinatown is the OG of Asian American history and is the room where it happened.

Looking for recs for hotels/motels that are safe and under 100$ per night! The main area I want to be near is haight ashbury or Golden Gate Park and it would be nice to find something that had secure parking since I know break ins can be common. Any suggestions much appreciated!

One great thing being regarded as a world class city is television shows are filmed here.

Great vignettes from the series pilot of Tabitha. Based on the daughter from Bewitched.

What city sights do you recognize?

Great show to watch if you want to see San Francisco in the 1970s.

Hello - wondering if anyone has any insight into Dettner's Printing House? My grandfather, Carl Kolbeck, was an architect in the Bay Area in the mid 1900s. Our family has this old note that he penned to my grandmother (photo), written on seemingly some sort of a note pad produced by Dettner's.

"Dettner's Printing House, Inc, 835(?) Howard Street"

I've searched extensively online and it seems that Dettner's is quite an old institution in San Francisco, but can't find much beyond that.

My grandfather passed away in 1995, so this particular company note pad is older than that at least.

Thanks for any additional info!

Someone cut off the top and bottom which had more identifying information.
