Instead they were celebrating the first ever Sunday Streets , an initiative dreamed up by Mayor Gavin Newsom. The event closed a roadway running from Chinatown to Bayview, both areas of the city with minimal open space. Along the strip people stopped to hop...

Admission to Union January 3, 1959 (49th) and Mayor Gavin Newsom governs more people (744,000) in San Francisco than Gov. Sarah Palin does in Alaska (670,000).
