48+ min ago (584+ words) It seemed pretty much like living in a zoo," said Woody LaBounty, leaning on a rail of a pier at San Francisco's Northern waterfront. Or drinking in a zoo."

Abe Warner had a miner bird, he had a bear, he had a raccoon," laughed LaBounty, who has long been fascinated with the bar's legend. But he didn't have a broom apparently." Perhaps the most peculiar item in the bar was Warner himself, a New York-born butcher who came to San Francisco in 1849 and opened a butcher shop on Sansome Street. But soon after he threw himself into…...

6+ hour, 8+ min ago (376+ words) The Oakland Unified School District needs to cut $100 million from its next budget or risk being taken over by the state again. All cuts are being considered. Reductions at the central office have been proposed, but they only cover a small portion of what's needed. OUSD Board Director Mike Hutchinson said the current options aren't clear enough.

8+ hour, 39+ min ago (476+ words) Napa Valley's wineries are attracting affluent travelers to California this summer. Lawmakers introduced a bill Monday to support wine producers and other specialty crop growers who have been hit financially by the Trump administration's foreign tariffs. If approved, the Specialty Crop & Wine Producer Tariff Relief Act would create a new U.S. Department of Agriculture program that provides direct payments to growers of winegrapes, nuts, fruit and vegetables who can show financial losses from the tariffs. The bill would also allow the USDA to buy surplus specialty crops for use in nutrition programs such as school meals and SNAP. Funding would run through 2030.
