That's interesting considering one of the AA reps on MM played the whole ruckus off like they had no idea folks were so upset, inferring that was the reason they hadn't properly addressed the community, and expected their clothing donations to the community would have been better received.

Union square or cow hollow. Then you can go eat at Nopa and high-five your bros at Solstice

Presumably, they think the story is too small to notice. I gave up on the Chron for local news a long, long time ago. They just don't report much of it. Check the weeklies after a while -- some snarky piece is bound to show up sometime.

> Why is any new business being alowed in San Francisco? Budget impasse. Not enough public-assistance checks.

I much preferred my run-on sentence to your burst of alliteration...however if we were playing Scrabble, I'd have taken your t-fest in a heartbeat. Alas, we are not. So HA! I win.

Maybe because they realize that the whole affair is an idiotic extravaganza of political masturbation? Way to tackle the big issues, Chicken John!

> really on the level, those american apparel folks. Yes, only if they had the reasoned approach of the typewriter crowd who espoused that one American Apparel outlet was akin to a dam breaking and washing away all that is sacred about the Valencia Corridor, leaving drowned, evicted, and beaten small-business/artisans in its wake.

matier and ross ran a thing about it a few days ago in their column. they groaned about the supposedly copious amount of empty storefronts on valencia and quoted some american apparel guy as saying that the opposition wanted them to "go back to la with [their] immigrant workfoce." really on the level, those american apparel folks.

Perhaps I need to shop for tighties. Don't have any at the moment but you never know when you might need them. I wonder where I might find such things? Within easy walking distance of the Panhandle? Hmmm.....

I'd venture to guess that 60% of San Franciscans have no idea what "American Apparel" is. Hell, I bet 30% don't know what "Valencia" is. Of course, they have managed to mention Twitter.

can picture the impassioned speeches at the anti-aa rally. "Good news -- Macy's West closed and laid off all 1,700 people. Good riddiance working people! Gap -- you are next -- move to LA already will ya? We don't want you "formula businesses" no more. What? Please hold. Oh, no tax base? Woops. " 12,000 jobs were lost in San Francisco in DECEMBER. And people actually care about this? Idiots.
