Podcasts about Coit Tower

For the first time in 25 years, The NBA's All-Star game is back in the Bay! Today, we explore how the Bay Area is celebrating basketball's most exhilarating players. Then, how one of our beloved local monuments was controversial before it was even built. The politics and battles around the Coit Tower murals. The Art Of The Game: Bay Area creatives celebrate basketball's brightest Book It: Coit Tower's controversial murals

The murals inside of San Francisco's Coit Tower are a popular tourist destination, but have been a source of contention from their inception. In his new book, “The Coit Tower Murals: New Deal Art and Political Controversy in San Francisco,” San Francisco State professor Robert Cherny chronicles the history of the murals, which were painted in the style of Diego Rivera and depict life in the Bay Area during the 1930s. They were created as part of the New Deal programs that supporting artists following the Great Depression. But controversies sprang up over the murals' perceived pro-Communist imagery and the value of public art. We'll talk with Cherny about the murals and their legacy. Guests: Robert Cherny, professor emeritus of history, San Francisco State University; author of "The Coit Tower Murals: New Deal Art and Political Controversy in San Francisco"

SF Mercantile began in 2008 with the objective of producing high-quality San Francisco gifts and keepsakes designed by local artists. Their products celebrate the vibrant and diverse culture that is unique to California, and all of their items are designed by artists who live in the San Francisco Bay area. The company was started by Robert Emmons, who saw a niche in the market after working on a project to revamp the gift shops at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park and Coit Tower. Both of these outlets were in terrible shape, and the assortments consisted of the cheapest of low-end souvenirs (since then the Japanese Tea Garden has been transformed by a new concessionaire, and Coit Tower will hopefully follow suite soon when it changes hands). While trying to plan a new assortment, it became clear that there was a very limited assortment available to retailers and a need for a better line of San Francisco mementos that are trendier, updated and designed by local artists who know and love the city.After many years of designing products for other retailers, Robert decided it was time to leave the corporate world behind and create a product line of his own, so in 2008 he began collaborating with other local designers, partnering with the best factories in the industry, emptying his savings, and then converting his garage into a makeshift warehouse; SF Mercantile was born.SF Mercantile launched their line with 12 San Francisco themed items in the spring of 2009 and since then have grown their product assortment to hundreds of designs, including San Francisco, Wine Country, Sausalito, East Bay/Oakland, Coastal and General California, as well as New Mexico, Arizona and Lake Tahoe. They also design and produce custom products for customers throughout the US and are currently working on new SF Mercantile designs that will be available later this year.Here, Robert shares how his career background set the stage for him to build out the SF Mercantile brand. Robert and Michelle discuss the launch of his product line and how it's expanded over the years. Robert also shares details of his new retail space, how he's learned to delegate responsibility to others, what holiday looks like for SF Mercantile, and his transformational work within the San Francisco community.Cadeau Ami Agency is solely a road rep agency of 10+ associates that handle the state of CA, AZ, HI, and parts of Nevada for many of their 23 or so boutique/gift brands, such as Chive, SF Mercantile, Sock it to Me, French Broad Chocolate, Pomegranate, Calypso Cards, Good Juju, Ryland Peters & Small, Kei & Molly and has been a part of the industry for over 30 years now.What's Inside: How Robert built the SF Mercantile brandAll about Robert's new retail spaceRobert's work within the San Francisco communityMentioned In This Episode:SF MercantileSF Mercantile Store on InstagramSF Mercantile Store on Facebook

Gianluca Grechi"L'estate in cui Ethan salvò San Francisco"Edizioni Corsarewww.edizionicorsare.itCome può la Coit Tower, uno dei simboli di San Francisco, scomparire in una notte? O un cristallo emettere un raggio dalla forza così straordinaria da far volare un ragazzo contro un albero? Sono le domande che inquietano Ethan, un ragazzo che scoprirà una inquietante e imminente minaccia per la sua città: San Francisco. Sarà lui, con l'aiuto della sua inseparabile amica Abby e di un homeless veterano di guerra, a scongiurare il disastro. Immagine di copertina di Anna MoscaÈ la storia di quando il sedicenne Ethan salvò la città di San Francisco da una minaccia che va oltre ogni immaginazione.Ci troviamo nei primi anni ‘90 e tutto ha inizio quando gli agenti dell'FBI si presentano a casa di Ethan, la perquisiscono e arrestano suo padre, un reporter, con l'accusa di spionaggio. Il ragazzo sa cosa cercano: un documento crittografato che il papà ha nascosto in garage. Ethan decifra il documento, ma scoprirà presto che una ben più grave minaccia mette a rischio la sua città: San Francisco. Con l'aiuto dei suoi amici Abby e Michael e di un veterano di guerra che vive per strada con il suo cane, riuscirà a evitare il disastro.Tra antiche leggende, fughe rocambolesche, torri ed edifici che vengono risucchiati nelle viscere della terra, Ethan e i suoi amici vivranno una serie di avventure mozzafiato che li porteranno a confrontarsi con un'entità potente e malvagia disposta a tutto pur di dare una lezione alla specie umana, ma che si rivelerà essere ben lontana da quel che si aspettavano.Gianluca Grechi, milanese, studia economia all'Università di Berkeley dove risiede a lungo occupandosi di new media.

We'll discuss California's role at COP 28 and dig into what the agreement to begin reducing global consumption of fossil fuels might mean for Bay Area refineries. Plus, we'll take a tour through the WPA murals of Coit Tower.

From 1935 to 1943 the Federal Art Project -- a project of the Works Progress Administration, or WPA-- employed some 10,000 artists and craft workers, helping them survive the Great Depression. The artists created hundreds of thousands of visual arts: paintings, murals, prints, posters, and renderings. Many of them survive to this day, but you have to know where to look for them. That's why LHT host Chris Garlock found himself on Telegraph Hill yesterday, during a visit to San Francisco, meeting up with Harvey Smith, who leads tours of local WPA sites. Find out more at LivingNewDeal.org Coit Tower is home to a stunning collection of murals that have recently been restored; Chris had seen them many years ago and had been struck by the depictions of workers and bosses that managed to be simultaneously beautiful and politically powerful and arranged to meet up with Harvey so he could shed some light on their creation and meaning. Harvey does a terrific job describing the art, but we've also got a great album of photos of the murals posted on the Labor Heritage Foundation's Facebook page. On this week's Labor History in Two: The year was 1917; that was the day IWW leader Frank Little was buried in Butte, Montana.

We've heard all that elsewhere, so wanted to get into more – like what he has going on at Logica, if he loves straddles as much as Wayne Himelsein, how he views the current volatility landscape, his killer SVXY trade, The Princess Bride, adding fragility into the market, the tail wagging the dog, Coit Tower, Twitter business partners, opportunity cost vs covering the bleed, Zoom due diligence, and Gamma scalping.

I originally wanted to do this episode on Juneteenth, but then I realized there were other current events to discuss that all follow a similar theme of justice.  So, we discuss Juneteenth, why it is important, wonder why more people do not know about it and then assess whether it should be a national holiday.  Then we get into the efforts many are making to tear down statues of Confederate leaders, Christopher Columbus, and others across America.  Finally, we talk about the Supreme Court’s recent denial of President’s Trump executive order blocking DACA immigrants.    We also discuss a range of other people and places including the Cornel West, George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, Abraham Lincoln, Emancipation Proclamation, Galveston, 13th amendment, school choice, Black History, W.E.B. DuBois, The Watchmen, Tulsa race massacre, Rodney King, Tommie Smith, states’ rights, National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I have a Dream, Benjamin Franklin, Charlottesville, Robert E.

Sponsors Netlify Sentry use the code “devchat” for $100 credit Triplebyte offers a $1000 signing bonus CacheFly Panel Charles Max Wood Summary Charles Max Wood shares his frustration with the current process in which companies are trying to hire senior developers. He goes over the major points these companies can improve how they hire and keep high-quality developers. First, he asks companies to consider what they mean by “senior developer”; what do they want their developers to do and what are the tangible outcomes they want to happen by hiring this developer? In doing this, Charles explains, it will help them design an interview that will reveal the most qualified developers for what they need. Charles uses examples from his experiences both as an employee and a boss showing the benefits of hiring this way. The next point Charles discusses is the environment of the company, the onboarding process, meeting the needs of the developers, and hiring developers that fit well together in a team. He presses the importance of having an environment that makes developers want to stay and bring in friends. The final point he makes is not to rule out junior developers. Charles shares what to look for in new developers and the value they can bring to a team. He also emphasizes the importance of paying them their worth if companies want them to stick around.   Links https://devchat.tv/adv-in-angular/aia-228-issues-with-the-title-frontend-web-developer/ https://www.facebook.com/ViewsonVue https://twitter.com/viewsonvue https://devchat.tv/ https://twitter.com/devchattv https://twitter.com/cmaxw chuck@devchat.tv Picks Charles Max Wood https://codebeam.io/ Elixir and Erlang Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, California Coit Tower, San Francisco Alita Battle Angel The Expanse https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast/ https://podfestexpo.com/

Experts on Coit Tower, Katherine Petrin and Jon Golinger, describe the history of the Depression-era murals, the application for national landmark status for the Tower, and much more.

Sound Guru Bernie Krause’s Beloved ‘Wild Sanctuary’ Destroyed by Fire Last month's fires in Northern California destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. But we also lost some key cultural landmarks. One of those places was an inspiration to artists, scientists and sound recordists around the world. Yet mostly unknown to its neighbors in Sonoma County's Valley of the Moon. It was home and studio of Kat and Bernie Krause. KQED Science Editor Craig Miller had visited many times before - both as a journalist and friend. After the fire, he returned, to help sort through the rubble - and record this story. Nearly 2,000 Miles From Home, A Prisoner Gets a Visit From His Mom More than a decade ago, then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in our state's prison system. That meant prison officials could do whatever it took to ease the overcrowding, including shipping thousands of inmates to other states. It was supposed to be a temporary solution. But many years later, many California prisoners are still locked up out of state. KCRW's George Lavender follows one mother on a journey to see her son, who's now two thousand miles away. Trans Singer Encounters Mother (and Bathroom Laws) on Tour in the South For more than 40 years, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus has used its music to help create community and inspire activism. The chorus recently went on a tour of five southern states. The idea was to support local LGBTQ communities in the South. KQED Arts Reporter Chloe Veltman caught up with them on the tour bus. She tells us about one of the singers and his mom, who hadn't heard him perform since he was living as a little girl. Lost Mural with Covert Political Messages Rediscovered in Post Office Basement You may not have heard of Victor Arnautoff, but he was a Russian artist who painted murals around San Francisco in the 1930s. He started off as an assistant to Diego Rivera and became known for his work on San Francisco's Coit Tower. He also painted three murals inside California post offices, including one in the Bay Area city of Richmond. But as Eli Wirtshafter tells us, that mural disappeared for almost 40 years. Until an amateur sleuth tracked it down. Welcome to Rough and Ready, the Tiny Town That Used to Be a Republic Now for another installment of our new series, A Place Called What?!, about California towns with bizarre and surprising names. Last week we took you to Zzyzx, near Death Valley. And we asked our listeners for their ideas for weird place names. Scott Schlacter of San Jose sent us a note asking how the town of "Rough and Ready" near Grass Valley in Nevada County go its name. So KQED's Bianca Taylor called up Jayna Ashcraft, who lives in Rough and Ready. She says her small gold mining town has a big history: in 1850, it seceded from the nation, and temporarily became its own republic.

Today’s episode of Making Ways features fine artist, sculptor, and commercial illustrator Jeremy Fish. Jeremy has been a mainstay of San Francisco’s art community and skateboarding scene for more than 20 years, ever since he made his way to the city from Albany, NY, to study at San Francisco Art Institute. In our conversation, Jeremy shares the challenges of living as an artist in one of America’s most expensive cities and the sense of duty he feels to bring San Francisco’s many historic landmarks and neighborhoods to life with his artwork—from his City Hall centennial project, in which he made 100 drawings in 100 days, to his recent residency at Coit Tower. Jeremy’s work has adorned skateboards and band posters, hung in some of the finest galleries around the world, and made its way onto street corners, T-shirts, and books. Listen in to Making Ways to hear how his career unfurled and get to know the artist and the city he holds so dear.

Among such internet diversions as kick-starter campaigns, movement challenges (Referring to ice buckets and not constipation), and kitten videos, one will also encounter an infinite amount of podcasts, each with its own agenda (All are eagerly pursuing fame, but each one makes it their own). This is where SK Morton's Lousy San Francisco Podcast sets itself apart. For it is wholly the vehicle by whitch SK had hoped to lure his unsuspecting mentor, Daniel Bacon, to the bomb shelter. And O summer's day, see where his dutch uncle comes. San Francisco's renowned historian, "Big Pappa", did indeed attend and regale the Throng with tales of near vandalism, seats near the stage at the SF Jazz Center and nearly avoided being sucked into a bridal fitness commercial. Of course it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a podcast host without accepting him and Mr. Bacon delivered with aplomb as he gave in-depth as well as interesting insights into his new novel, "Frisco". He covers the history of San Francisco's general strike in 1934; locations in the book that can still be seen today (Such as the Arch Bishop's mansion, Julius' Castle, and Coit Tower); and even explains the title as he describes the City's own type of accent. The final arena is an engaging discussion about the Barbary Coast Trail, of which Daniel Bacon is the founder. And when SK saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.-Thomas Jefferson Click Below to Listen to Today's Show   This is an appropriate quote for today's show. Thomas Jefferson, a great American founding father, Vice President, President and Statesman shared this great quote about the benefits of walking. Walking is the best possible exercise. It can be done by just about anyone that has the ability to walk, as exercise. The most important part of what he says in the the second half of his quote. Habituate yourself to walk very far. Habituate -- I like that word. One of the keys to developing a great #WorkOnWellness program is to make what you do a habit. Habituating activities that burn calories will make it easier to complete them. When you habituate these activities, your mind doesn't have to think about should I do this. It is conditioned and primed to start as soon as you think it. Habits I started getting up at 4:00 a.m. a year ago when I started my podcast. I needed the extra time to be able to write up my show notes, record episodes. When I started interviewing my expert guests, I had to have a couple hours in the morning to be able to talk with people on the east coast. My 5 a.m. is there 8 a.m.  Now, I wake up almost every morning at 4 a.m. without my alarm clock. I, unfortunately, wake up about 10-15 minutes before the alarm goes off....Even on the Weekends when I can sleep in.  So there's power in Habituating your activities. We'll cover habits more in a later episode in more depth, because habits can help you develop the right routines to achieve your #WorkOnWellness goals. Tool 1 - The Gym Back to Jefferson's quote. He says you should habituate yourself to walk very far. Walking long distance is an exercise I used frequently when I was working on losing 40 pounds in 16 weeks. I would spend a lot of time in the gym. I like going to the gym. I am a member of Planet Fitness. I have tried other gyms in my area where I live, but keep coming back to Planet Fitness. The main things I like about Planet Fitness are: Great Equipment - new or in good shape - I prefer the models they use over the ones at other gyms Friendly staff Clean locker rooms and facilities Prices - great options from $10 - $25 per month. I have a Black Card which allows me to use any Planet Fitness facility, anywhere. I started going to the one near my office. It's a five minute walk. I would leave work and be there 5 minutes later. If I waited to get on BART for my commute home, I could think of a million things I could be doing better than going to the gym. Tool 2 - The Elliptical I still haven't finished my thoughts on Jefferson's quote about habituating yourself to walk very far. That's where the elliptical comes in. Using the elliptical is like walking. I have a "bad" knee. I had my meniscus removed when I ripped in playing tennis a few years ago. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't. It isn't anything that stops me from doing any running. I still run some but I like using the elliptical. It's easier on the knees and I can adjust the levels to make it a little harder workout.  So back to Jefferson and walking far. I started doing 1 hour on the elliptical. I worked my way up to doing 5 miles in an hour. That burns about 700 calories with my weight (at the time) and the levels I used. 5 miles is far. It's recommended that you walk at least 10,000 steps per day. 10,000 steps is about 5 miles. After I hit that goal, I started trying to go for 2 hours. I wanted to get in at least 1200 calories burned in that work out. Remember, I was consuming 1200 calories per day on my eating plan. I had to burn more calories than I was eating. I was burning additional calories with the other walking I was doing throughout the day along with the other activities I did.  If I could burn 1200 calories in my workouts, that meant I would have a calorie deficit. The more days of deficit, the more weight lost. I worked up to 2 hours and burning over 1400 calories on the elliptical each day. That's 10 Miles on the elliptical, 4 days per week. Tool 3 - Map My Walk I usually only went to the gym when it was winter. That's our "bad season" in San Francisco. No mind you, it's not Minnesota, Boston, or even cold. But it does rain from November through April some (not enough) in San Francisco. As the time changed and the sun was out later, I would go to the gym to change clothes and then head out to Walk The Streets of San Francisco. I work in the downtown San Francisco, one of the top tourist destinations IN THE WORLD. There's a reason it is. The scenery is beautiful, the weather is usually nice. This is where I took Jefferson's quote to heart. There is so many great places to walk in the city. I work about 2 blocks from The Ferry Building, which is on The Embarcadero. It a great road that runs along the San Francisco Bay and wharfs. It goes from Fisherman's Wharf all the way past AT&T Park, where the Giants play. On nice days when the sun was up until 7:30 - 8:00 p.m., I would leave the gym and walk down Sansome Street towards Fisherman's Wharf.  Before I left the gym I would plug in my headphones to my iPhone, crank up my playlist and then Start My Workout on my Map My Walk app.  Map My Walk is one of my favorite apps. It uses GPS to track your location and measures the distance you walk, the elevation and many other great things. It integrates into the iPhone health app, as well as fitness appliances like FitBit. I would head out down to Fisherman's Wharf. At the Wharf, I would get on The Embarcadero and start walking south. The scenery is great. When you are at Fisherman's Wharf, you have the tourists, Alcatraz island, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge, as you walk the Embarcadero, the people watching is great. You walk past Coit Tower on the right. There is a great hill and steps you can walk up to get a good burn on your walk. I do that when I want to get some extra calories burned. As you pass the Ferry Building, you can now see the Bay Bridge. There is a beautiful light show on the bridge after dark if you walk at night. Oh, and did I say you walking along The Bay the entire time?  What a view. Well, Jefferson would be very proud of me for habituating myself to walk far. I continued on to AT&T Park where I would turn onto 2nd or 3rd Street and head back into the city. I would head back up to Market Street and then onto Sansome and back to the gym. It usually took me about 90 minutes to complete that walk. It is about 8 Miles. Map My Walk would track my journey, alerting me to each mile as I passed it. I also use it on the weekends when I take my far walks along the waterfront and hills near my house. I would walk 10 - 15 miles on Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Thanks Thomas Jefferson. I did what you said. Tool 4 - My Fitness Pal Another one of my favorite tools that keep me honest and up to speed on my calorie consumption was the My Fitness Pal app. With My Fitness Pal, I can enter and track everything I eat. You can scan bar codes on the food you eat and it will pull the calories and other values from the manufacturer. You can set goals and keep track of your weight as well as your exercise. When you enter all of your meals, your exercise and close out at the end of the day, it will give you a total of what you did and an estimate of how much you will weigh in 1-2 weeks if you keep eating the way you are going. This is great inspiration. I would see that "If you keep eating this way, you will weigh 220 pounds in 5 days. Whoo Hoo! These are the top tools that I used to lose 40 Pounds in 16 Weeks. I've provided links to the websites on our show notes page at Goal Getting Podcast dot com / s2e5  but you can just switch over to the app store on your smartphone and download them. They are both free. I hope this helps you take Thomas Jefferson's quote to heart and Habituate Yourself to walking far as one of your exercises in your #WorkOnWellness journey. If I can work up to it and get to walking 8-10 miles around the city or on the elliptical, you can, too. Go Out Today, #WorkOnWellness with me and Let's Lose 40 Pounds in 16 Weeks, like I did.   I get a lot of my quotes from great books that I read.

Peace and beauty at Coit Tower; woman who resembles Meggin takes our picture; I remark upon this and Yumi gets upset; drive over to Marin side of the Bridge; walk along restaurants near Pier 39; decide to eat dinner back home.

Yumi looks at clothes; anxiety over not having enough "start-up" for Japan; think about ways to reduce my share of the rent; Yumi suggests I stay with Ted; a better solution is to move into the garage for $200 a month, since all I need is a place to sleep; let the subject rest and move along to Coit Tower.
