Lost Department Stores of San Francisco (Landmarks) Paperback – March 2, 2020by Anne Evers Hitz  (Author)

In the late nineteenth century, San Francisco's merchant princes built grand stores for a booming city, each with its own niche. For the eager clientele, a trip downtown meant dressing up--hats, gloves and stockings required--and going to Blum's for Coffee Crunch cake or Townsend's for creamed spinach. The I. Magnin empire catered to a selective upper-class clientele, while middle-class shoppers loved the Emporium department store with its Bargain Basement and Santa for the kids. Gump's defined good taste, the City of Paris satisfied desires for anything French and edgy, youth-oriented Joseph Magnin ensnared the younger shoppers with the latest trends. Join author Anne Evers Hitz as she looks back at the colorful personalities that created six major stores and defined shopping in San Francisco.

Ex-officer Kim Potter found guilty of two counts of manslaughter for fatally shooting Daunte Wright

Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who drew a gun instead of a Taser and fatally shot Daunte Wright during a traffic stop, was found guilty Thursday of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the young Black man's death.

Demonstrators -- some carrying "Black Lives Matter" signs and portraits of Wright -- applauded and cheered outside the court. A brass band played.

Former President Donald Trump petitioned the Supreme Court Thursday to delay efforts by the Jan. 6 select committee to access his White House records, his last attempt at blocking investigators from accessing a massive trove of documents from the highest levels of his administration.
