because of those restrictions and strong sentiments because of the lincoln park neighborhood area that has been without anything filling that old safeway/albertson's spot, i am supportive of your conditions and is restricted approval, and i also see this not as a precedent, but more on a case by case basis and encourage various stores to work closely with your office to make sure it we are protecting the public's health, but i also support supervisor avalos' suggestion that we need a broader city-wide policy that works with chains and other stores to limit the number of licenses in the future, but i am supportive of this conditional approval. supervisor avalos: another concern i have is in the same building the same lot. fresh and easy will be there, and they will be able to sell every item of alcohol -- with alcoholic content cvs will be selling. i'm not even sure there is a necessity that they need to have a license to be able to operate on this spot. that is just another concern i have, and whether it is important to have two sites selling alcohol in the same building. >> i think th

like lincoln park built by the wpa. think of the experiences that people have had and the history which is embodied in them. there is daves tennis stadium. here it is, this was a tournament for inner-city youth. archery at golden gate park. our play grounds. here it is in use today. this is bernal heights park. you can still see the gutters they put in there. this is buena vista parks. this is quezar park. this is mount davidson. look out for the rock. this is on telegraph park. this is stern grove. this is a little known park above candle stick. here's my friend jake, standing by a wall. this was rosy play ground. they turned it into a park and it was also restored by wpa. i believe they torn down the house, which was unforgivable and the zoo is wpa. and here's the murals inside the mother's building. the marina sea walls and great aquatic park. the palace of fine arts. we wouldn't have and a little further in, lake merit, this pier. alva rado park and then, some of you my recognize this. the berkeley rose garden. did

the lincoln park area provides extraordinary views of the day. members of the public are going to want to see the day, even if they are not interested in the america's cup. we have a ways to go in terms of convincing the staff and the commission about the merits of this proposal. this is the open water basin. just south of the bay bridge. as you remember, the industrial bases are planned for this area. catamarans would be merged in the base itself near pier 32. the event the authority would do substructure improvements to the deck. the teams would have tent structures to perform team operations in. there would be cranes on the south face of 32. the boats would be lifted of groundwater and there would be a device between our round pier 32 end pier 36. dredging would happen to a depth of 15 feet. this would be just off of the wharf. so, again, this amendment proposal would be for the temporary use of anything like was contemplating the rate in the area so that we potentially have the same issues here that we have to work through with ac/dc as we do

and look to the temperatures across the area you will note this at lincoln park in highland park turninge more of that lake cooling across the area it is gorgeous even in buffalo grove as dickensian our weather but camera the highs today could be up to the '50s and boasts tonight will drop to the 30's and land. some patches of fog and outlying areas. tomorrow will have a northeast wind in the model to temperatures in the '40's and low 50s well in the various data into the low in mid '50s tomorrow. fear the cool weather for this time of year. interesting though because such cloudy april 8th similarly cloudy april's at least very cloudy once by historic standards and the main candidate turned around after a parade in turn sunnier than warmer so let's hope that is the trend this year. mostly sunny today with fair weather clouds and high temperature of 57 and a light northwest one expected tonight are the cloudy and cool 40 set the lakeshore and tomorrow paul the county with high temperature of 53 and '40's at the lake front tomorrow. the outlook for wednesday is mostly sunny and mild air in

this row house in chicago's pricey lincoln park languished on the market for two years before swartzted it and enlisted help. the first impression begins at first sight like love. >> absolutely. when somebody walks in the front door what we want is is them to immediately feel comfort, inviting and wanting to see more of this house. i mean take me further. >> reporter: mona is one of chicago's hottest house stagers. her job is to turn lived-in into longed-for. >> the one thing that people have to understand when they sell a house is you have to let go of the house. it can't be yours anymore. you have to understand it's now a commodity. we need to appeal to the broadest audience possible. >> reporter: she showed us her handiwork in the row house. she says the most important changes are often the easiest. >> painting a house, wasn'ting a room will give you the most dramatic change for the money. >> reporter: and rule number one: bright is bad. >> your personal touches in your house, your personal colors aren't necessarily someone else's. they have got to be able to feel themselves livin

park jewel. all kinds of people gave their time, they gave their money, they got involved to make this happen, and so i would say really as lincoln might, this really is a park of the people, by the people and for the people. >> you can see alcatraz, the golden gate bridge, the green space, the people. >> reporter: this is crissy field in san francisco, part of our golden gate national recreation area. it's a place where people gather, and where nature touches the city. crissy field as we see it today is only ten years old, but it's become an instant and beloved icon for those who live here and those who come from far away. >> it feels good to be down here. >> reporter: 100 years ago part of this was a grand prix racetrack. then for many decades after that, an army air field. and then ten years ago this month, crissy field was absolutely transformed into 100 acres of parkland, now visited by more than a million people a year. it is a national treasure, right in our own backyard. today this national treasure has a 20-acre tidal marshland. restored dunes covered with 100,000 native plants. a promenade more than a mile long, and cle

lincoln county, georgia. the owner of that business recently told me he parked all of his trucks because he cannot afford to put fuel in those trucks. and that is -- has cost several jobs in lincoln county. lincoln county has an unemployment rate that's way, way higher than the national average. in fact, the state of georgia's unemployment rate was recently reported to be just over 10%. this administration's anti-energy policies are crushing jobs, crushing small businesses, crushing family budgets. it's anti-american. house republicans are making strong efforts to create jobs and lower oil prices in this country. recently cnn did a poll and found seven in 10 americans support increased offshore drilling for oil and gas. seven in 10. i wonder about the other three in those 10. 45% strongly favor. here's a question. they asked how americans feel about increased drilling for oil and natural gas offshore in u.s. waters. and here's how they responded. 45% said that they strongly favor us doing increased drilling for our own oil and gas in the gulf coast offshore. 24% mildly favor. 16% strongly oppose and 15% mildly

lincoln monument is. that's dupont circle. there's an urbanized area that was much smaller than the washington we know now. anything up past, you know, up on connecticut avenue towards the park up past where howard university is now going north on 7th street, none of those made it on the map, not because people didn't live there, but they were not considered the main parts of washington city. that gives you a sense that we're talking about a city that's relatively smaller, of course, than the city we know now as washington. now, i'm going to talk about this as washington history on three different points. first, i'll talk about the relationship of african-american history to this stir. seconds, the story of urban reform in washington and its context, and third, why washington was an example for all the land. first, washington was a site of remarkable african-american activism in this period. i like to talk in general terms about roots that made up african-american washington. first, from before the civil war, washington was a hub for free african-americans. in 1860, 60% of black washingtonians were free rather than enclaved. what that meant was there was a culture of organiz

days and the odd days well, my dad was not going to sit in that lincoln continental days on his georgia days. he told his son to go out and parkhat gas so i have a distinct understanding of what energy independence should mean. [laughter] >> we created an governmental agency called the department of energy which is one mission to make the united states of america independent. but yet, where are we? and see if we don't recognize the fact that there are certain countries that are using energy resources as a weapon on this 21st century battlefield, once again we lose. see when russia went down and invaded the former soviet of georgia there was not a lot of contentious because of the natural gas pipeline. if we don't understand the saudis and what they are able to hold us or venezuela and hugha chavez and you just heard what hugo said last week. if there's a time when we should look at united states of america and say we are going to commit ourselves to being independent independent the time is now. and i get tired of hearing people say it's going to take 10 years. it's going to take too long. read the story of the uss yorktown af
