This past week in North Beach, Hoodline took a look at the new SFPD district boundaries, a new multi-level Chinese food-centered retail and restaurant space on the border of Chinatown, an affordable housing project proposed for Broadway And Front and an interview with Sasha Grigorovich-Barsky of Citizen Chain.
Looking towards next week be sure to check out the National Lasagna Day Competition And Dinner at the Italian Athletic Club (1630 Stockton St.) for a North Beach-style family meal sponsored by the North Beach Neighbors organization.
Now a quick North Beach dog tax before we hit the events:
