There will be a ceremony and candlelight march to honor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone tonight at the intersection of 17th Street and Market. See the Harvey Milk Club’s website for the latest.
From club president Rafael Mandelman:
“Hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving. Just wanted to remind you that today is the 31st anniversary of the assassinations of Harvey Milk and George Moscone. Please join us tonight at 6 PM at the Castro Muni Stop for a ceremony to commemorate their lives and legacies, followed by a candlelit march.”
It’ll be ‘neath the largest gay pride flag in the world, right here:

San Francisco’s Harvey Milk Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Democratic Club had an endorsement election down at the Women’s Building in the Mission District last night. Here’s the upshot, via the Twitter:
“Harvey Milk Dems have endorsed Mandelman in D8, Walker in D6 and Goldstein for College Board. Many thanks to all of you who turned out!”
Get up to speed on the elections next month and next year over at the Usual Suspects.
And oh look, Rafael just made the Hot 40 Under 20 Hot 20 Under 40 list at 7×7 magazine. As seen in Duboce Park:
The 2010 election is only 370 days away, so keep these endorsements in mind over the coming days and months…

It’s the Law.
Duboce Park is where the dogs can run free (in the Multi-Use area) and the children get fenced in – it all works out.
But your pup is going to need a leash to get to the leash-free area, as this sidewalk graphic tries to communicate:
See you there!
(And “please please pick up after your dogs“, they are begging over on the Yelp. Oh well)

Hours after yesterday’s collision and brouhaha in the Castro involving two historic F-Line streetcars (making up the bread part of an SUV sandwich), MUNI workers were still on the job about a half-mile away near the Duboce Yard in the back of the Church Street Safeway.
In technical terms, them wires up there done fell down. So the crew of an awesome yellow truck (with a scissors lift in the middle) came along and started winching things back together high above Market Street, with a quickness. Hurray!

As everybody knows, Market Street is straight until it hits the Castro. See for yourself as you follow it from the Ferry Building (once the second-highest building in town) all the way to the Giant Gay Pride Flag of the Castro District, the biggest in the world they say.
This is almost the view you get from the Twin Peaks Overlook up on Christmas Tree Road – the second highest point in San Francisco:
And click below for a closer look. Can you see the historic street cars and the bike riders?
Sure you can. Just scroll around.

Via SF FYI Net, we discover San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Scott Wiener (the preferred spelling of “weiner” is w-I-E-n-e-r, as in “Vienna“) just officially announced his candidacy today for District 8 Supervisor on the YouTube.
It looked a little like this, complete with elevator dings – listen for them:
Scott joins Rafael Mandelman, Laura Spanjian and Rebecca Prozan as the putative frontrunners in the replace-Bevan Dufty-race, which is just a “short” 16 months away.
PRINCIPAL SKINNER: Whoever did this is in very deep trouble.
MARTIN: And a sloppy speller, too! The preferred spelling of “weiner” is w-I-E-n-e-r, though E-I is an acceptable ethnic variant.
PRINCIPAL SKINNER: Good point.
