One man built this California observatory, then asked to be buried beneath its biggest lens

Twenty miles east of San Jose, a road winds up Mount Hamilton to a cluster of white domes that have watched the sky since 1888. Lick Observatory sits at 4,209 feet, high enough to leave the valley haze behind and clear enough to spot stars that city lights drown out below.

UC Law SF is barreling ahead with a $288 million redo of a historic tower

UC Law San Francisco’s $288 million renovation of a nearly 100-year-old tower at the edge of the Civic Center and Tenderloin neighborhoods crossed a major milestone in recent days with the completion of major structural work on the building’s gutted core. “We got the building topped off before the rains come,” said a clearly pleased David Seward, UC Law’s chief financial officer. Seward is helping lead the transformation of the 28-story tower — once the West Coast’s tallest hotel skyscraper — into a modern hub of student housing, classrooms, athletics and more. Construction crews had removed the entire top floor, which left the hollowed core exposed to allow for construction work. Now, the hole has been covered, and the crane that has loomed over the site can come down. Upon completion — which is projected for next winter — the reincarnated art deco and Gothic revival structure at 100 McAllister St. will be a crown jewel in UC Law’s expanding “Academic Village,” which includes several buildings on two blocks in which the school will have invested about $750 million since 2016, Seward said. The tower at the northwest corner of McAllister and Leavenworth streets, which UC Law acquired for student

Meet UMNI: The Retired SF Muni Bus Getting a Second Life as a Roaming Speakeasy

“I don’t know what we’re gonna do with it. We gotta go look at it.”. Those were the words lifelong San Francisco resident Oliver Sellman said to his childhood friend Santiago Rollo after stumbling across a Muni bus for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The two made the spontaneous drive to Sacramento, using the time on the road to brainstorm ideas for what they could do with the bus. After batting around a few possibilities, they landed on one that stuck: What if we turned it into a mobile speakeasy? While they didn’t end up purchasing that particular bus, they held tightly onto the idea. They eventually found another retired Muni bus and teamed up with Marc Velten-Lomelin, who would help shape the project’s creative identity and bring the concept to life. Just like that, UMNI was born.
