The San Francisco Citizen

Check the sked - can you see Sean Penn’s face filling up the entire calendar? It’s ALL MILK, ALL THE TIME starting this very moment at the Castro Theatre. Harvey Milk’s story is the talk of the nation today.

The film is highly thought of, with a very high 92% positive score on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatomater.

If you go, you can see all your friends as extras. And the theater itself was practically a co-star:

This was the scene inside the Victoria Theatre (rentals available) at last night’s debate hosted by lovely Ivy League lawyer “Sweet” Melissa Griffin, the San Francisco Examiner’s City Hall Examiner.

What’s that - you want to hear what everybody has to say? You want to meet the candidates? Here you go.

Oh, you only want to hear from the front runners? Here you go.

San Francisco is where the founding United Nations Charter was signed, so we get more than our fair share of attention from the UN and there are various plaques around town to remind us.

The 60th Anniversary of the United Nations has come and gone, but this sign at the Civic Center / UN Plaza BART station underneath Market Street still calls for renewal.

People called for renewal during the 50th Anniversary as well.

Who will call for renewal when the 70th Anniversary comes along?
