more importantly spend some . >> (music).

>> the ferry building one of san francisco most famous that as many of 15 thousand commuters pass through that each gay. >> one of the things that one has to keep in mind regarding san francisco is how young the city we are. and nothing is really happening here before the gold rush. there was a small spanish in the presiding and

were couriers and fisherman that will come in to rest and repair their ships but at any given time three hundred people in san francisco. and then the gold rush happened. by 182948 individuals we are here to start a new life. >> by 1850 roughly 16 thousand ships in the bay and left town in search of gold leaving their ships behind so they scraped and had the ships in the bay and corinne woods. with sand the way that san francisco was and when you look at a map of san francisco have a unique street grid and one of the thing is

those streets started off in extremely long piers. but by 1875 they know they needed more so the ferry building was built and it was a long affair and the first cars turned around at the ferry building and picking up people and goods and then last night the street light cars the trams came to that area also. but by the late 1880s we needed something better than the ferry building. a bond issue was passed for $600,000. to build a new ferry building i would say 800 thousand for a studio apartment in san francisco they thought that was a grand ferry building had a competition to hire an architecture and choose

a young aspiring architect and in the long paris and san francisco had grand plans for this transit station. so he proposed the beautiful new building i wanted it wider, there is none tonight. than that actually is but the price of concrete quitclaim two how and was not completed and killed. but it opened a greater claim and became fully operational before 1898 and first carriages and horses for the primary mode of transportation but market street was built up for serve tram lines and streetcars could go up to the door to embarcadero to hospitals and mission street up to nob hill and the fisherman's

area. and then the earthquake hit in 190 six the ferry building collapsed the only thing had to be corrected once the facade of the tower. and 80 percent of the city would not survive the buildings collapsed the streets budges and the trams were running and buildings had to highland during the fire after the actuate tried to stop the mask fire in the city so think of a dennis herrera devastation of a cable car they were a mess the streets were torn up and really, really wanted to have a popular sense they were on top of that but two

weeks after the earthquake kind of rigged a way getting a streetcar to run not on the cable track ran electrical wires to get the streetcars to run and 2 was pretty controversial tram system wanted electrical cars but the earthquake gave them to chance to show how electrical cars and we're going to get on top this. >> take 10 years for the city to rebuild. side ferry use was increasing for a international exhibition in 1950 and people didn't realize how much of a community center the ferry building was. it was the center for celebration. the upper level of ferry building was a

gathering place. also whenever there was a war like the filipino war or world war two had a parade on market street and the ferry building would have banners and to give you an idea how central to the citywide that is what page brown wanted to to be a gathering place in that ferry building hay day the busiest translation place in the world how people got around transit and the city is dependent on that in 1915 of an important year that was the year of our international exposition 18 million living in san francisco and that was supposedly to celebrate the open of panama differential but back

in business after the earthquake and 22 different ferry boats to alamed and one had the and 80 trips a day a way of life and in 1918 san francisco was hit hard by the flu pandemic and city had mask mandates and anyone caught without a doubt a mask had a risk ever being arrested and san francisco was hit hard by the pandemic like other places and rules about masks wearing and what we're supposed to be more than two people without our masks on i read was that on the ferry those guys wanted to smoke their pipes and taking off their masks and getting from trouble so two would be hauled away. >> the way the ferry building

was originally built the lower level with the natural light was used for take it off lunge storage. the second floor was where passengers offloaded and all those people would spill out and central stairway of the building that is interesting point to talk about because such a large building one major stairway and we're talking about over 40 thousand people one of the cost measures was not building a pedestrian bridge with the ferry building and the embarcadero on market street was actually added in and in 1918 but within 20 years to have san francisco bay the later

shipbuilding port in the world and the pacific we need the iron that. as the ferry system was at the peak two bridges to reach san francisco. and automobiles were a popular item that people wanted to drive themselves around instead of the ferry as a result marin and other roots varnished. the dramatic draw in ferry usage was staggering who was using the ferry that was a novelty rather than a transportation but the ferry line stopped one by one because everyone was getting cars and wanted to drive and cars were a big deal. take the care ferry and to san francisco and spend the day or for a saturday drive

but really, really changed having the car ferry. >> when the bay bridge was built had a train that went along the lower level so that was a major stay and end up where our sales force transit center is now another way of getting into the city little by little the ferry stopped having a purpose. >> what happened in the 40 and 50's because of this downturn we were trying to find a purpose a number of proposals for a world trade center and wanted to build it own the philly in a terrible idea objective never gotten down including one that had too tall towers a trade center in new

york but a tower in between that was a part of ferry building and completely impractical. after the cars the tower administration wanted to keep americans deployed and have the infrastructure for the united states. so they had an intrastate free plan the plan for major freeway systems to go throughout san francisco. and so the developers came up with the bay bridge and worked their way along embarcadero. the plans were to be very, very efficient for that through town he once the san francisco saw had human services agency happening 200 though people figure out city hall offender that the

embarcadero free was dropped and we had the great free to no where. which cut us off from the ferry building and our store line and created in 1989 and gave us the opportunity to tear down the free. and that was the renaissance of ferry building. >> that land was developed for a new ferry building and whom new embarcadero how to handle travel and needed a concept for the building didn't want- that was when a plan was developed for the liquor store.

>> the san francisco ferry building has many that ups and downs and had a huge hay day dribbled adopt to almost nothing and after the earthquake had a shove of adrenaline to revise the waterfront and it moved around the bay and plans for more so think investment in the future and feel that by making a reliable ferry system once the ferry building will be there to surface. >> n't know you existed.

we are proud of what we built and what we are doing and we just are really i think excited for people to find us and see how special we are. >> so, i began at westbay in 200 saechb. i had no idea what it would be like, but when i entered it was over 50 kids in a small room. we are so happy someone was there to help them and honesty, i share a story because that is really when i fell in love with the westbay. my name is carl la, the

director of westbay filipino multiservice center. in the spring of 2007 at usf, we had to do community service hours and i was very last minute so the last to sign up for a place and the only place that didn't have volunteers was westbay. started as a volunteer, i knew nothing about the community. i just saw kids that were trying their best, growing up in a place that might just be filled with a lot of home lessness and violence and drug use, but we didn't care and wanted more and want to be in soma and help and see what i can do. 2007 when i started westbay didn't have a lot of funding. when we were there, honesty it is just like family fills up a space, i

didn't realize how small it was. at the old space we had probably not more then 1500 square feet. the programming was such that anyone would like [indiscernible] and we were always on top of each other, but one group moving in and another group in the back. the beauty of it also is, our community is so intergenerational it didn't feel unfamiliar to how we operate culturally, especially in the neighborhood a lot of our families live in single room occupancies and really small apartments. but like, the lights are always working, the supplies at the time were really limited. kids had pencils with their names on it. in any ways it was just the community you could really see. people don't realize, there is a thriving filipino community here. there is such a rich history of filipino families here. >> when it it comes to filipino and soma i'm the filipino and soma.

my name is rudey, born and raised in san francisco. south of market district. been here all my life and still here. there are opportunities around here like westbay. [indiscernible] i used to go there because it was young teenagers my age there. i go over there to kick it with them. the people who ran it then, they teach you leadership skills, about empowerment. those are the same values i run with my organization now. the same thing they taught me back then. >> my first interaction with rudey is he pulled up at the front of westbay door with backpacks. we got backpacks! >> he dropped them out of the van and drove away and i'm like who is this guy? >> when i are was here i started seeing westbay more often and so when our organizations would come together and do community work together, i

would see her. my motto [indiscernible] to take care of the hood. you just got to have care and love in your heart and she has that. >> i used to remember telling myself, it is what you put into it and there is a lot more resources then you think, you just to if figure out a way to navigate. >> she didn't say do you mind introducing to this man and woman i and do it. >> everything you do to support the organization allowed us to help those most and need and couldn't have done it without you so thank you so much. >> there is always a struging when you rent out a commercial space because the security isn't guaranteed and the lease is pending like it is it renewed again. it was really hard. it was a struggle. by the time we came around to get our building, rudey honesty has been instrumental in our getting our

building. with i started become director in 2017 i remember saying we want our own center. he was very transparent and gave the blue print but it was like now you have to do it. >> she paid attention and saw what worked and didn't work and she did everything else. all i had to do is this is so and so. >> it is up to you. see through the relationships and those connections. i think there's a lot of resources and ways the city tries to help non profits have stable roofs, it is just making sure you know all of them and avail of them. in the south of market there is a soma stabilization fund. when new development happens in this neighborhood that money goes to the existing community here. advocated heavily for funds there and not a lot of folks were buying

the spaces so we were able to get $3 million before mayor breed. >> i supported westbay and the goal of purchasing its own building because of the incredible work they do in the tenderloin community, the fact that you know you can come to san francisco and find a community because of westbay and have supportive services, it is so meaningful and makes such a difference, so it is about time they have a place to call home. let's get this building open as soon as we possibly can. your support is a critical part of the home stretch. let's get it done everybody! [applause] >> [indiscernible] >> i knew about westbay a long time and while on the board of supervisors i first started to interact with westbay and get to know the organization better. once i was in the state senate

representing the entire city, i started working even more intensively with westbay. >> i remembered going to a asian american heritage month celebration and he came there and i remember rudey corpus, i remember he was talking to him and was like can you introduce me and he said sure and he introduced me. what i appreciated so much about senator wiener, i met one time and said can i meet with you next week and he said yes. >> they talked about the vision of the building. >> i shared what westbay was trying to do. >> when i heard about the project and got the details i found it very exciting and so it motivated me to try to help. in years that are good in the budget, i am able to obtain funding for local communities projects. >> i remember maybe a month later getting a e-mail from the aid saying there is a surplus this year so

we want to appropriate money for your building and i was just so grateful, because to see how literally one interaction, one meeting and then we want to fund you and support you because this is important. yeah, it we are really grateful and he is a big part of why we were able to get the space. >> one, two, three! >> this is a good thing for the kids to do. >> man, it was honesty really really surreal. >> this crazy. >> to see now transforming into our center, it is super exciting. i have a organization that has been in the neighborhood for over 56 years. this space to me like signifies what every community deserves. >> [indiscernible] [applause]

>> the fact this is happening speaks volumes about carla and [indiscernible] entire westbay team. >> all these years i have known westbay, they have been [indiscernible] for them to last this long and to have them a foundation now where it is set and the leadership that they have currently right now and the staff and the workers and the people involved in westbay now, that right there is amazing. >> alright everybody, we are here at the new building! [applause] yes. super exciting. we make our way this way; we have a kitchen as well! we finally have bathrooms guys. we have two sinks there. we have accessible bathroom. there is downstairs.

alright. we are over here! today we are able to bring the staff out to finally see our new center, our new home and it is really fun and exciting. up there. it is white. more then half the staff are on the roof. really excited. i think the opportunity to explore different spaces is super exciting and to have a big room. i can't believe it is real. >> after all these years, it has been amazing so thank you. [indiscernible] >> welcome home! [applause]

>> [indiscernible] [applause] stand here as a representative of an organization who's existence [indiscernible] we couldn't have been here if every single person here [indiscernible] happy and honored to say we don't just have a seat, we own the table! we are the kitchen and [indiscernible] >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! [cheers and applause]

>> the cool things. [indiscernible] >> the best program ever. [kids laughing]

[music] >> really special, because of the rich history of service and that service is rooted in resident centered care. addressing the needs of the whole person. it served generations of people probably in some pretty dire times of need. for more then 150 years, laguna honda has sort of woven itself into san francisco's history. when we heard that laguna honda didn't regain our certification, our hearts sank. >> in april 2022, the center for medicare and medicaid, cms, took away laguna honda participation in its program, which is extremely devastating. participation in the cms program is the way laguna honda is funded and able to

keep its doors open. laguna honda takes that very seriously and we report incidents appropriately, and cms and [indiscernible] come out to review those facility reported incidents. what happens during that is enforcement cycle begins and the cycle is only 6 months, so any time there is a deficiency noted you have to train all your staff and the expectation is you get 100 percent of staff with training and the entire time the clock is ticking, there is no pause on the clock. >> our office legal strategy to figure out that we could through the federal government and the actual lawsuit itself, was a important part in allowing the facilities to not transfer any resident out of the facility and also to buy additional time and funding for another year to allow the

facility to do all the important changes that are necessary to resociety in medicare and medicaid. the settlement agreement didn't just expend the funding and the pause on transfers, it also set out fairly stringent requirements for improvements that laguna honda had to do. cms and cdph survey the survey which means they inspect the facility. any sort of interpretation and advice around the surveys, around inturperateing the laws and regulations that applied to the facility, we were all-- >> after each survey we had, we identified gaps in knowledge that needed to be closed before our next monitoring survey. the turn around was pretty intense, but we had to do it because of the timeline with the recertification, and

we had 1300 staff on average go through different modules. everyone has a role in this building to help contribute to the best care of our residents. kitchen staff, security, people who are not traditionally thought of in skilled facilities who are a huge support to all the clinical care and it was really exciting to watch the whole community come together. >> the relationships with our federal and state partners, the center and medicare and medicaid service and department of public health, so important. the open lines of communication we had with them from the very beginning is going to serve laguna honda very well in the long-term success. >> congratulations to teams from department of public health and city attorney office for leading the fight to save laguna honda hospital. >> together you helped secure the future of a critical piece of our healthcare safety net.

>> we celebrate front line staff and union partners mptd >> we are in ah of your and responding to a challenging situation can such grace, compassion and tenacity. >> gratitude to residents and their loved ones throughout recertification. >> the future is bright for laguna honda hospital. >> congratulations! >> my name is andrew england the owner and collector at real old paper. i'm a native to the bay areaismt grew up in oakland, spent high school years here and lived in hawaii about 10 years. moved back shortly. been in san francisco proper now for about 8 years.

when i realized i wasn't a dealer anymore in san francisco, i found openings and decided to opening my own store in north beach in 2016. north beach was a great place to start. i got a neighborhood feel from it. i got involved in the community, but as far as business turnover, fisherman's wharf is 2 fold, 3 fold because there are so many more people here. we have been here going on 3 and a half years. i started as a hobbyist. i started collecting movie posters in high school. not originals. just favorite. when i mouved to hawaii there was a gallery that specialized in viptage posters and that taught me about the variables beyond movies and that is where this is my career path and what iment to do. i with irked for them for 8 years, took

a portion of pay in store credit so i built a collection basically and turned it into a brz. business. hobby turns business and forch int. i got bitten by the poster bug it spiraled out of control and i needed to a store to outlet my collection. san francisco has always had a viptage poster dating with 1970 with chicago new york and paris san francisco is a city with a area to buy vintage posters so people appreciate the time capsule and history. all are vintage. most in the store is at least 40 plus years old, some back to the 1800s so we have some 140 years old. they are advertisement,b war propaganda from world war 1 and 2. movie and with travel posters and alcohol and tobaccos. thin pieces of paper meant to last maybe a mujt or 6 weeks.

the lowest point was the pandemic. having to close the gallery so i didsant have a web store biltd or outlet and barely a instagram and told all the customers don't buy on line. can't be sure they are authentic or true colors or size or condition. it was very frustrating. it was a struggle until this opportunity presented itself and when i moved into this location on the wharf, there was still nobody here yet. we hadn't officially reopened but i rolled the dice, spent everything i had left to build this place out, and give it one last shot. it worked out very well. it worked out very well. >> here we have the 1971 for the fight. ali and frazier first meeting. the one first professional loss. there is a lot that appreciate the story and understand the esthetic and message and nuances within the

graphic. the champagne [indiscernible] wonderful piece. it carries both styles. it has the [indiscernible] in his garb. he has shoes and fits the earlier periods, but done in the style of art deco and that is what we offer and part of the experience knhing into the store. we will walk through the purchase and explain how we preserved it, what are the imperfections and what does the imagery mean. you have the older story and the newer story, pasted over the top. we will give you all that information. about everything. it may not be your favorite piece until you heard the story. i are think i always had in the back of my mind a second location outside the state. i dream is tokyo, but i do a lot of consulting in las vegas with pon stars group so thought about opening a shop in las vegas. we like to branch out at some point. we are from here and where the company

started and where we'll stay, we may just also open another store. i love being here. this is where my family is, this is where i was raised and not ready to leave that behind cht yes, people are looking for this store and there are fewer and fewer store fronts, brick and mortar like ours that outlet this thing. we offer the experience. i think it is very desirable collective subject matter because we are less and less acustoms. you can pick it while looking at it. examining the flaws and scale and color. you know what you are getting because you get that exact one. poster art is my area of expertise and i have affinity for. poster art especially they are not meant to last are under appreciateated. real paper, the vintage gallery is 777 beach street, tuesday-saturday 11-5 and

monday 12-5.
