A bit more of Eagle Plaza has been revealed, as some of the construction equipment is removed.  You can now enjoy a portion of the broad sidewalk on the Eastern side of the Plaza:

Soon, we expect to see some landscaping added.

According to the sign on the front of the new 1532 Harrison Street building, below-market rental units will be available soon.  (Apply online by May 5, 2021 at 5:00 PM, at housing.sfgov.org)

You can even peer inside to see a part of what will, perhaps, be a cafe of some kind.  ( I originally thought it would be a restaurant called “La Cantina”, but I have since learned that that is just the name of the manufacturer of those nice glass windows.)

If you think you might want to live in the new building, you can learn more at https://www.liveathq.com/ .

Keep your eye on the Plaza!

The much-loved “Lone Star Saloon” – SOMA’s Friendly Neighborhood Bear Bar – is holding a Homecoming Telethon to help them get ready to reopen. 

It’s Saturday, May 8th, from 4 to 7 pm, so get up and show your support by tuning in.  

Details are here.  If you can’t make it on the day, you can donate here.

We will let you know just as soon as they announce their definite reopening date, and we will see you there!

For a nice summary of the progress the Cultural District is making, we invite you to check out this Bay Area Reporter article:
