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.

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.”

This is what you can see right before the Monterey exit of southbound 280 - a memorial for Luis Solari, who was shot to death while driving his two kids on a San Francisco freeway:

Remember this guy and his van? He was as big as Frank Chu, back in the day. Atop the list of the World’s Weirdest/Stupidest Conspiracy Theories is the one from Steve Lightfoot. Why? ‘Cause he believes it was Stephen King, not Mark David Chapman, who shot John Lennon in 1980.

Or, in other words, ¿Quién mató a Brian Márquez? That’s the question people are still asking in the Mission District, especially these days, when homicides in the area are up, up up.

The link to the website with information about Brian’s murder from 2005 is here.
