Will Saturdays Be the New Sunday?

In light of the new study coming out saying that the closure of JFK boulevard on Sundays doesn't hurt attendance at any of the fancy new museums in Golden Gate Park, supporters of the Healthy Saturdays initiative gathered to renew the fight. In a press conference yesterday, Jake McG said he was going to reintroduce the measure to close the park on Saturday for a six month trial run.

Of course, the big question is what will Gavin do (WWGD). Yesterday, a press flak for the Mayor said: "Our position remains unchanged...we’re using the data as a starting point to find alternative solutions." Something we think means "wait to see how much hell Gavin will get if he agrees to close the street." Now that he's sober, it's that much harder to feign interest when Dee Dee Wilsey runs into him at the next blueblood function. And speaking of Dee Dee, wouldn't it be awesome if she married somebody with the last name Ramone so she could be Dee Dee Ramone?

Opponents are saying "study schmudy" and claim that the study was too small of a sample to really say one way or the other. They also, apparently, stuck their hands over their ears and repeatedly said "we can't hear you." Also lining up against it are advocates for the disabled who don't like the fact that the museums will now be "inaccessible" for two days instead of one.
