It's been another news-packed week in North Beach. Here's a roundup of neighborhood headlines you might have missed from this past week.

It's official: North Beach Citizens has debuted its new home on Kearny Street. Mayor Ed Lee was among the 100 people on hand for the ribbon-cutting and party. Executive director Kristie Fairchild is ready for the challenge that lies ahead: "I'm here to get homeless people off the streets, and I expect everybody to get on board."

The opposition to Airbnb landed close to home with a Mason Street protest of the start-up's impact on affordable rental housing. The protest opposes the use of short-term rentals that render a building a de facto unregulated hotel. This year's ballot Proposition F, if passed, would increase regulation, including making Airbnb hosts register as a business. 

Speaking of the November election, the Chronicle chimed in with their recommendation of Julie Christensen for District 3 supervisor. 

You may have heard there was a blood moon this past Sunday. Jeff Jura shared his view of the celestial event as seen from North Beach.  

Blake Angus, the man held in the early morning July assault on Varennes Street, was released this week after evidence showed he was at a 24 Hour Fitness location during the time of the incident. Angus was held for 74 days. As of now, no new suspects have been identified.

Some capital projects around the area are nearing completion, while others have hit delays. The Joe DiMaggio Playground renovations, which began in 2014 with the demolition of the former North Beach library, seem to be ahead of schedule, as new fencing and landscaping were put in this week. On the flip side, the Poet's Plaza project on Vallejo Street between Columbus and Grant Avenues has been delayed again, and appears to be "on hold" for now. Proponents off the project claim the delays are almost entirely political, while opponents want more time to discuss how the road closures will affect local transportation, especially with regards to emergency services.

Artisanal French bakery Le Chat Rouge (1314 Grant Ave.) is looking at opening within a month, after initially reporting frustration with the difficulty of getting the correct building permits. Once he's ready, owner David Carbonell hopes to open the bakery at 7am every day for locals on their way to work.

Across the street from Le Chat Rouge is Ideale Restaurant & Bar, whose owner, Maurizio Bruschi, and manager, Giuseppe Terminiello, are planning a new venture at 725 Columbus. Piccolo Forno, slated to open in just a few weeks, is the duo's answer to a feeling that the "neighborhood was missing something," Terminiello hopes Piccolo Forno will allow locals to stop in for everything from a quick espresso to plates of pasta. Stay tuned.

In Chinatown, seemingly everyone is happy with the news that Sam Wo, a Chinatown institution for more than 100 years before it closed in 2012, appears to have both a new home (713 Clay St.) and a opening date (October 19th). Hoodline will have more following today's media event, the invite for which included a video about Sam Wo's influence on the city. 

In case you missed it last week, the Chron ran a feature on Devil's Acre (256 Columbus Ave.), noting its unique menu, "faux-antique advertisements" and creative cocktail ingredients. 

Finally, the First Days Project, which shares stories of immigrants' first days in the United States, recently released a podcast with author Ethel Rohan, who moved to North Beach in 1990. She remarked on her first time seeing strip clubs, and the American pace of life. "Even though I speak English, there were a lot of new terms to me. You know, what's a 'cross street'? That was a completely unfamiliar term to me."  

Tonight, it's time for North Beach First Fridays, which snakes its way from North Beach to the Fort Mason area. Notable stops this month include a breast cancer fund raiser at Art Attack (2722A Hyde St.), a "Pets & People" art exhibit by Carly Reed at Tom's Beautiful Sexy Hair (701 Greenwich St.), a group show celebrating Filipino culture called "Chop-sueyed: Against All Odds" at the Paolo Mejia Art Gallery and Design Studio (1317 Grant Ave.), and art by Norwegian artist Leif Karsten Dahlen and flamenco music by Benjamin Flores at Sweeties Art Bar (475 Francisco St.).
