• A roundup of some of the happiest places in the world, from Europe to Australia
• Visit the President's Nose and the Sewer Worker's Helmet, which bring good luck
• See the boar's mouth and the chimney sweep's hat, which are said to grant wishes

They say fortune favors the brave.

But it is also said that luck favors anyone who touches one of these statues and sculptures, from Dalida's breasts to Lincoln's nose.

Kiskiralylany aka The Little Princess, Budapest, Hungary

Kiskiralylany, also known as the Little Princess, sits on the railing of the tram tracks near the Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest

The little princess sits on the railing of the tram tracks near the Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest.

She is the creation of sculptor László Marton, who was inspired by his daughter's penchant for dressing up as a princess, using her bathrobe as a cape and a crown made of newspaper.

Since the statue was erected in the 1990s, it has become a tradition for passers-by to rub its knees for good luck.

Cumil, the sewer worker, Bratislava, Slovakia

The statue of the sewer worker Cumil is located on the corner of Laurinská and Panská streets in the Old Town of Bratislava.

You will find Cumil emerging from a manhole cover on the corner of Laurinská and Panská streets in Bratislava's Old Town with a cheeky smile on his face.

The statue was installed in the sidewalk in 1997 as part of a redevelopment project, and there is disagreement among locals as to whether Cumil is taking a break from work or looking up women's skirts.

According to local legend, if you touch the top of his hat, your wishes will come true.

Il Porcellino, Florence, Italy

Il Porcellino – which means “piglet” – is located in Florence, a two-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio. Tourists can throw coins into its mouth to make a wish.

Outside the Mercato del Porcellino, a two-minute walk from the Florentine bridge Ponte Vecchio, stands the decorative, partially hollowed-out piglet sculpture “Il Porcellino”.

Visitors can put coins in his mouth and make a wish, which then collect in his stomach.

However, the wish ritual is not complete without rubbing the boar's nose afterwards.

The Monument to the Chimney Sweep, Lviv, Ukraine

The monument to the chimney sweep is located on the roof of the House of Legends cafe in Lviv, Ukraine

The decorative chimney sweep monument in Lviv challenges visitors to make their wishes come true. First, they must climb to the top floor of the House of Legends cafe.

Once on the roof, they have to climb another spiral staircase before they get the chance to throw a coin into the hat for good luck.

Most people miss something, and visitors on the roof below are sometimes surprised by a shower of Ukrainian hryvnia when they try to climb up to make a wish.

Monument to Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Lviv, Ukraine

The monument to Leopold von Sacher-Masoch is located in front of the S&M Café Masoch in the Old Town of Lviv

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch is considered the founder of the S&M movement and his statue stands in front of the Masoch cocktail bar on Serbska Street in the old town of Lviv.

Visitors can put their hand in his pocket and wish for luck. But be careful, the pocket is not empty… You will be touching the statue's “private parts”.

After expressing their wish, most visitors head to the SM bar Masoch. Don't worry, the SM part is a gimmick to entertain the tourists and is not meant to be taken seriously.

Some visitors order a little “light whipping” from the barmaid with their cocktails, but that’s just a bit of fun.

The statue of Dalida, Paris, France

The bust of Dalida is located on Place Dalida in the Paris district of Montmartre and is a monument to the French singer.

The bust of Dalida is located on Place Dalida in the Paris district of Montmartre and is a memorial to the French singer and actress Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti, who was known by her stage name Dalida.

She sold over 170 million albums and singles worldwide and was a darling of the city of Paris.

She committed suicide in 1987 and the statue was erected on the 10th anniversary of her death.

According to tradition, touching her breasts brings good luck.

Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois

Lincoln's lucky nose is located directly in front of Abraham Lincoln's grave at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Illinois

A bust of Lincoln stands in front of Abraham Lincoln's grave at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Illinois.

The president's distinctive nose shines gold thanks to years of rubbing by visitors.

Some locals say that rubbing the nose brings good luck, while others say it brings wisdom.

Fala, Washington DC, USA

The statue of the terrier Fala on the grounds of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington DC is said to have a lucky nose and ears

The Scottish Terrier Fala was the dog of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

A life-size statue of Fala stands faithfully at the feet of his master in the massive Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, DC

Some say rubbing its nose brings good luck, others say it's the ears that bring good luck. Rub both to be on the safe side.

Marin Držić, Dubrovnik, Croatia

The statue of Marin Držić with her lucky nose is located opposite the Church of St. Blaise in the Old Town of Dubrovnik

Marin Držić was a Croatian writer who is now affectionately known as Dubrovnik’s Shakespeare.

A statue of him stands opposite St. Blaise's Church, near the Rector's Palace in the red-roofed Old Town of Dubrovnik.

According to local legend, rubbing your nose will bring you good luck.

Bremen Town Musicians, Riga, Latvia

The statue of the Bremen Town Musicians is located in Skārņu Street between St. Peter's Church and the Monastery Courtyard in Riga.

Why the statue of the Bremen Town Musicians is called that is not immediately clear. The statue shows a rooster sitting on a cat, which is standing on a dog, which is balancing on a donkey.

The statue was inspired by the Brothers Grimm fable, which tells the story of four mistreated animals who ran away to become musicians. The sculptor wanted the statue to have a political undertone.

It is considered a good luck charm to rub the nose or beak of each of the four musicians.

The statue is located in Skārņu Street between St. Peter's Church and the monastery courtyard.

John Harvard, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

The boot of the John Harvard statue at Harvard University is said to bring good luck if rubbed

Rabbit's feet are not the only lucky feet in the world. At Harvard University there is a statue of its namesake and co-founder, the English clergyman and scholar John Harvard, who is said to have a lucky left foot.

Students rub his boot to have luck in exams.

The statue is located in Harvard Yard, probably the oldest part of the elite university.

The Knight of Paris, also known as Monument to the Street Man, Havana, Cuba

El Caballero de Paris, also known as Monument to the Homeless Man, is located in Old Havana, Cuba

If you visit Old Havana during rush hour, you can easily miss the Monument to the Street Man.

This bronze statue of a walking man gets lost in the crowds of tourists, performance artists and street vendors selling things like ice cream in coconut shells.

The statue itself is said to be inspired by a man named José María López Lledín, also known as the Gentleman of Paris, who was a common sight on the streets of Havana in the late 20th century.

The myth says that if you touch his beard and make a wish, your wish will come true.

A replica of Queen Victoria's terrier Islay sits on a wishing well

Islay, Sydney, Australia

This 60 centimetre high bronze statue is a replica of Queen Victoria's Cairn Terrier Islay and is located on a sandstone wishing well in front of the Queen Victoria Building on George Street in Sydney.

What sets this statue apart from others in the world is that it speaks. Periodically, a recording of the dog asking for money is played over nearby speakers.

Those who donate should be rewarded with the fulfillment of a wish.

The Piglet, Sydney, Australia

The statue of Il Porcellino in front of Sydney Hospital is a replica of the Wishing Statue in Florence, Italy

This is a replica of the statue and wishing well of the same name in Florence.

It is located outside Sydney Hospital, opposite Macquarie Street.

Just like his doppelganger in Italy, he eats coins given to him by visitors who make wishes. The money goes to the hospital.

John of Nepomuk, Prague, Czech Republic

The statue of John of Nepomuk on the Charles Bridge with its lucky tablets

There is a phalanx of statues on either side of the Charles Bridge in Prague, but because of the crowds of tourists and the street art and souvenir stalls, it is not always easy to see them clearly.

There is one thing you shouldn't miss, however: The statue of John of Nepomuk is the eighth statue on the right as you walk from the Old Town towards Prague Castle.

It marks the spot where Saint John of Nepomuk was thrown from the bridge and murdered on the orders of the king in the 14th century.

While the location of the statue was anything but fortunate for the unfortunate saint, this spot is now said to represent the end of a rainbow for visitors.

Touch the tablet on the right side of the statue, make a wish and your wish should come true.

The post Fifteen statues and sculptures world wide that it is mentioned will convey success if touched appeared first on Los Gatos News And Events.

The thing that made the goal was the touch; one of those touches where Lionel Messi doesn’t so much trap the ball or kill it but lets it come and nestle, falling asleep on his toe like a fond old cat.

There were still six more touches to go before the ball would be left spinning, with a kind of purr, in the back of Mat Ryan’s net. But it was the touch that set the clock running, as the ball was looped back out to Messi on the touch line from his own free kick.

You could see straight away that Messi had felt that familiar surge of static, seen the numbers whirring, the spaces start to yawn. Footballers are often said to carry a picture in their head. Messi has a great whirring bank of air traffic controller’s screens up there, alternate visions of the future to scroll through and finesse.

The touch spun the ball out in front of him, enough to draw the closest Australian shirt into his arc. This was a mistake. Don’t run towards Messi. His dribbling is a kind of judo-throw effect these days, using his opponent’s movement to trampoline into space.

Messi sniped away. He had time now. Messi gets a kind of pre-screening of these things, sees the shapes before anyone else, like a pavement artist conjuring Notre-Dame out of four chalk lines. He laid the ball back to Alexis Mac Allister, then sped in a straight line towards the thing he knew would happen next.

Mac Allister laid the ball in to Nicolás Otamendi. His touch was clumsy, but Otamendi had felt things thing starting to happen too. He performed a lovely little backwards sway, like a man leaping clear of the spray from a passing lorry.

Messi took the ball and had time to take another step, to open his hips slightly as he ran, the movement hidden in his stride, but enough to ease the ball to Ryan’s right, into the far corner and out of his reach. The Ahmad bin Ali Stadium erupted into a barreling wave of noise on three sides, that distinctly Argentinian football noise, a shout of recognition as well as joy.

Twenty minutes into the second half, with Argentina 2-0 up after Julián Álvarez’s delightful steal swivel and finish, Messi did something for fun, a kind of roll through the greatest hits. Taking the ball in the center circle he just decided to keep running, conjuring the ghosts of the Camp Nou, that surging, mulletted miracle of snap and spring. He ran out of space, smiled, jogged back, as the Bin Ali took the chance to sing his name.

And this is the thing with Messi. Every game is now a kind of Russian roulette. Click the hammer. Is this it? That sense of jeopardy, the fear that this might be the last of Messi on this stage will now move on to the quarter-finals of Qatar 2022.

How far can Argentina take him in this thing? Here they held on at times, almost ran away at others. Australia were dogged, dragged the score back to 2-1 and will feel they showed the best of themselves. Argentina have their weaknesses. But they also have a sense of heat about them. They kept to the 4-3-3 from the Poland game here, which may just come to stand as a step change for this team.

At the last World Cup Argentina were subservient to Messi, a team constructed to serve their sun king, litter-bearers for the princeling in their midst. Messi became almost inert, the still center of this imperial bureaucracy.

As a false 9 in this team he is simply a free agent, with three expert midfield rats behind, runners up front, and in the middle of this the orb, the seer, the floating brain.

The Ahmad bin Ali Stadium is a lightweight, fun, fizzy thing dumped down in the overflow car park of the Mall of Qatar. It looks like a giant wedding cake decoration, or the world’s most imperious pop-up ice rink.

Mixing with the Argentinian fans here has been a fascinating contrast. In the middle of all these gleaming surfaces, here is something disorderly and ragged. Argentinian football isn’t just passionate or patriotic. It is devotional. And here the ground was packed with blue and white shirts, laced with those familiar songs, the warm wave of noise.

As the game kicked off Messi could be seen swinging his arms, loosening up, as though it had just occurred to him he was about to do some exercise. He walked for a bit. He took up a position miles in front of the rest of his team, the small, slouching, baggy shirted chimney sweep at the top of the tree.

Thank you for your feedback.

Graham Arnold likes to make the occasion small, to reduce it to simple human possibilities, will, desire, take the moment. He talks about the “Aussie DNA”, a scrap-happy, fight-in-the-dog kind of schtick. Australia did fight here, but Argentina had enough to resist. And they now roll on, three games from the summit.

Another striking aspect was the love at the end as Messi led the celebrations, the feeling of the moment being cherished and locked in. It hasn’t always been this way. No other footballer has been so exposed to the glare, so relentlessly seen, analyzed, venerated, bathed in light. Another one down. But there may just be a few more spins of the chamber before this thing is done.

Dick Hafner died last week. The co-founder of the family-owned-and-operated Hafner Vineyard was a wise and ingenious man — and a friend.

He and his wife, Mary, who died in 2017, purchased their Alexander Valley ranch in 1967. In the late 20th century emergence of the Sonoma County wine industry, they qualify as pioneers, having removed prune trees to plant the vineyards that would produce their favorite wines.

Before the pandemic, we were lucky enough to spend time with Dick and Mary in a small group that met for lunch every couple of months.

In recent years, five members of our lunch group have died, including Dick and Mary, plus Pat and Ted Eliot, and Anne Teller.

All five were amazing people who believed that taking care of the land and looking out for each other should be everyone’s responsibility.

This Thanksgiving weekend becomes the right time to give thanks for the gifts they left for the rest of us.

All five seemed to live their lives in two acts, the second as compelling as the first. Their stories made for great conversations over lunch.

After time as a newspaperman in the East Bay and in Southeast Asia, Dick would become the chief spokesman for UC Berkeley during the student uprisings of the 1960s and 1970s. He had stories to tell.

Mary would join a UC student delegation to India and Pakistan and later give French cooking lessons from her Berkeley home while serving on the boards of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and KQED.

In time, she would find herself driving a tractor to clear the land for the grapes that would become the wine that bears the Hafner name.

Ted would become the US ambassador to Afghanistan after diplomatic postings all over the world. He and Pat would marry in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) and one of their children would be born in Moscow. Later, he would serve as executive assistant to the US treasury secretary, executive secretary to the Department of State and dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

Pat, who grew up in Marin County, remembered riding horses as a young girl on Jack London’s Sonoma Mountain ranch, and when her husband was the ambassador to Afghanistan, she remembered traveling with her kids to pick up a car in London and then driving it back to Kabul. Not many would attempt that drive today.

In the Sonoma Valley, Anne and her late husband, Otto Teller, would establish Oak Hill Farm and become trailblazers in the organic food and farm-to-table movements.

Later, all five would become leaders of community groups aiming to make Sonoma County a more sustainable place to live.

Dick was president of the Alexander Valley Association. Mary was a longtime member of the board of the Sonoma Land Trust and was involved in other philanthropies, including as a board member of Healdsburg Forever.

Ted served on the boards of Community Foundation Sonoma County and of the Sonoma Valley Fund. He was a leader in the campaign to pass and then the campaign to renew the Sonoma County open space tax. He led too many other conservation efforts to mention here.

Pat served on the board of the environmental stewardship group Land Paths and would lead the charge to save Sonoma Mountain from development.

Anne and her late husband were founding members of the Sonoma Land Trust, which has provided permanent protection for more than 58,000 acres of land since 1976.

Keep in mind: These are only the highlights.

In our lunches, it was a pleasure to listen to them talk about lifetimes of public service. They were older than we were, and that was OK. They had a lot to share. They were smart and funny and wise.

Sonoma County is a wonderful place to live. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It requires people to step up and set examples, while encouraging others to make smart choices.

In 2020, our lunches would be lost to the pandemic.

“This Shelter In Place is for the birds!” Dick told me in an email back then. “I prefer to be in the (Healdsburg) plaza but am stuck with this great view seen from my window seat (Mary’s favorite). What a strange feeling this all is!”

Mary’s favorite view takes in the sweep of the Alexander Valley and the mountains beyond.

Thanks to people like Dick and Mary, Pat and Ted, and Anne, we live in a place where successful agriculture and the beauty of our natural surroundings come together.

Dick wrote on the Hafner Vineyard website: “We have a deep sense of belonging to the land and a strong appreciation of those who tend the soil and bring forth its products.”

And so we give thanks for the friends who touched our lives, while we reflect upon how much we miss them.

The post World Vast Know-how Raceway Stay Take pleasure in Illinois 300 Racing NASCAR Cup Sequence 2022 Free TV Channel, Radio Watch HD Video Protection On free at Tantara in San Francisco – June 5, 2022 appeared first on Los Gatos News And Events.

Inside an unassuming grocery store situated in the shadow of Sutro Tower on Arguello Boulevard and Cabrillo Street, a bold proclamation is plastered everywhere.

From a handwritten sign displayed in the front window to the menu board behind the deli counter and the ATM screen that’s tucked into a far corner, it doesn’t take long to spot “Home of the World Famous Turkey Sandwich” at Arguello Market in San Francisco — it’s even printed on the back of the store’s popular crewneck sweatshirts and on the bottom of every receipt.

The shelves are well-stocked with standard supermarket offerings, from organic produce and fresh loaves of bread to canned goods and boxes of cereal, not to mention a wide selection of beer and wine, perfect for an impromptu picnic in nearby Golden Gate Park. 

But Andy Rothschild, who grew up four blocks away in the Inner Richmond and has been a frequent customer for most of his 32 years of life, said he’s never really viewed Arguello Market as a place to buy groceries. 

To him, it’s the mecca of turkey sandwiches in San Francisco.

“I have listened to many people in front of [or] behind me in line place their orders … whenever someone orders something other than a turkey sandwich, I feel sorry for them for doing it wrong,” he said. 

Rothschild won’t come out and say that Arguello Market offers the most out-of-the-box sandwich in town. (There are spots like Deli Board and Turner’s Kitchen for that, he said.) But it’s the no-frills approach that’s kept him coming back for decades. 

“Arguello may have the best singular sandwich,” he said. “It isn’t fancy, but the roast turkey is just so good. Any true fan is getting it on Dutch Crunch, with avocado, and if you want my insider tips, the move is to get it with dark meat and pepper jack.”

Peter Qaqundahat poses for a photo with his father Sal, the owner of Arguello Market on April 10, 2022.

Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE

Owner Sal Qaqundah, who bought the market in 1984, said the roast turkey sandwich is his best-seller by a long shot. The store makes around 150 turkey sandwiches every day, encompassing about 70% of the orders made at the deli counter. The market also goes through 12 turkeys weighing 25 pounds each during the lunch rush. On a recent visit, I watched the golden brown birds twirl and glisten beneath the heated glow of the rotisserie oven while I placed my order and the savory aroma wafted through every aisle.

“I don’t smell it anymore because I live in it,” Qaqundah said with a laugh. “I’m here almost every day.”

When he moved to Southern California from Palestine as a teenager in 1969, he started working at grocery stores and diners to pay his way through college, including Ralph’s and Denny’s. His second-ever job was at Spires, a 24-hour diner chain that had a $1.49 chicken sandwich special on Monday nights. 

“People lined up outside of the restaurant for that and they were busy from 3-10 p.m. nonstop,” he said. “And because of the quality, the quantity, the service and the price, they kept coming back. It really stuck in my mind.”

Qaqundah graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in speech pathology and taught for two years in Huntington Beach. It was a rewarding job, he said, but he wasn’t earning enough money and still had to work nights at various restaurant gigs until 2 a.m. to make ends meet. Around that time, a family friend living in San Francisco mentioned they had spotted a market for sale downtown and encouraged him to check it out.

“I saw it as a chance to start my own business and excel,” Qaqundah said. 

In June of 1975, he packed up all of his things and moved to the city. 

Qaqundah’s first store, Cable Car Market, was on the corner of Bush and Powell streets across from Uncle Vito’s Pizza. It was a runaway success, due in part to the central location and heavy foot traffic, but after about nine years, he lost his lease and was given 30 days to vacate the premises. 

As he hunted around the city in search of a new space, he came upon a now-shuttered market on Chestnut Street called Victor’s. Even though it wasn’t up for sale, he went inside and noticed they were selling fresh whole turkeys, which he found intriguing.

“God works in mysterious ways,” Qaqundah said. “I never forgot it.”

In 1984, he bought Arguello Market. It was run-down and hadn’t operated as a grocery store since the ’40s, he said, but when he saw the deli counter, he knew it had potential. For one, it reminded him of the chicken sandwich special at Spires and how he wanted to bring something like it to San Francisco.

He remodeled everything, from the light fixtures to the shelving to the flooring and the refrigeration. The deli counter was the only component left untouched, and while he didn’t have the means to duplicate a restaurant-quality chicken sandwich, he decided to try his hand at selling turkey sandwiches. So he started with one bird per day in 1987, and eventually graduated to two and three as the popularity of the special — then just $3.69 — skyrocketed.

“It was big enough that it could be lunch and dinner for many people,” he said. “I remember telling my customers, ‘The only drawback about this is you’re going to come back again.’” 

Years later, I’d discover just about everyone had an opinion on The Sandwich. When I decided to consult Twitter, I received more than 50 replies with takes ranging from “Best Turkey Sandwich I’ve ever had” to “I was so disappointed” and “it has divided [my] entire household.”

“It’s above average at best,” one argued. “Yellow Sub is the best sandwich spot in the city and it’s not even close.” 

“[It’s] An indispensable member of San Francisco‘s sandwich ecosystem,” another proclaimed.

Emails and direct messages arrived in my inbox by the dozen. People shared their tried and true advice: Order dark meat only. Try the cranberry sauce. Avocado is a must. Eat it with provolone or pepper jack, topped with pepperoncinis, or as a boxed lunch with potato salad. Order The Sandwich before noon or it’ll taste too dry. Take it out to Golden Gate Park for the ultimate dining experience. 

And, like Rothschild, most insisted that Dutch Crunch was the way to go.

Others sent multiple-paragraph-long odes to the turkey sandwich. For some, it was a point of childhood nostalgia, a trusty cure for hangovers, and a meal they returned to whenever they could, even if they had moved out of San Francisco or to another state.

“I’m not really sure why this sandwich got me so passionate, but here we are …” concluded one message from Sam Johnson, who grew up in the Sunset and is now an attorney with the Tulare County Public Defender’s Office in Visalia. 

Although he’s also not sure how it developed such a loyal following, he suspects Arguello Market’s proximity to the University of San Francisco, where he went to law school, and its access to Golden Gate Park, make it a popular choice.

“The Arguello sandwich is one of my favorite things in the city. It’s not flashy or particularly innovative but it’s so great at what it is,” he said. “I always feel at home when I eat it, and whenever I am in town, I try to stop by — even if it’s as I’m about to get on the highway and need to wait the four hours before I get home to enjoy it.”

Pete Bogdis, a former employee of the San Francisco Plumbing Company from 2001 to 2016, said he’s “eaten hundreds of them,” stopping at Arguello Market for lunch almost every time he was working in the area. 

He attributes the popularity of the sandwich to word-of-mouth.

“That’s how I discovered them,” Bogdis said. “My boss brought me there once and I was hooked. I’d tell other tradesmen on jobsites about them, if they were ‘cool.’ Those of us in the know didn’t necessarily want the secret getting out. But over the years, the line got longer and it became common knowledge.”

Qaqundah chalks the hype up to the consistency of his product, which has been about the same since he introduced it 35 years ago, with the occasional improvement made here and there. 

It’s a level of dedication Qaqundah’s son, Peter, admires about his father as he ensures the flavors and quality of ingredients remain familiar to those who passed on the good word and let others in on their neighborhood secret.

“Now, it’s a cult classic, if you will,” said Peter, 33, who has been helping out at the store since he was 12 years old. “He takes a lot of pride in everything he does at the store and is very meticulous and on point.” 

The sandwich starts with bread sourced from Wedemeyer Bakery. Once sliced, each half is slathered with a mixture of mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Then, the carved and seasoned turkey is carefully arranged on top, followed by Kosher pickles, green and red leaf lettuce, a variety of tomatoes (that Qaqundah won’t divulge), and sweet Italian red onions. 

But where did the “world famous” title come from?

Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE

Over the years, Qaqundah said the turkey sandwich was reviewed by multiple publications, named a “fundamental San Francisco sandwich spot” by Eater and one of the “best fall eats” in the city by Yelp, and was even featured in the first episode of the Travel Channel’s “Shoestring Getaways” series, which concludes with hosts Christine Williams and Jules Hatfield chowing down on the sandwiches under the Golden Gate Bridge. 

But when the popularity of the sandwich took off in the early ’90s, he said he was surprised to find that tourists from as far away as England and South Korea visited Arguello Market after receiving a recommendation from a local. He also discovered that longtime regulars who moved away would often return to the market for a taste of home.  

“Many of them will cry when they come back, whether it’s been a year or five years or 10 years,” he said. “We wanted to keep that legacy alive. We say it’s ‘world famous’ because this is a jewel of San Francisco. It’s like a landmark. We want to keep it going.” 

The sandwich is still as sought-after as it ever was, even though the price is now up to $10.99, partially due to the cost of turkey surging in recent years. Qaqundah said he’s paying three times what he was prior to the pandemic, but it hasn’t hurt sales.

“Last weekend, the line was out the door from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” he said. “We had to pause DoorDash.”

He doesn’t anticipate things will slow down anytime soon. But in a city transforming as rapidly as San Francisco, it could be that customers are coming in for more than just a convenient lunch. 

“It seems like there’s a tendency these days to change things up and evolve for the sake of staying fresh and not being stale,” Johnson said. “But the turkey sandwich is something that has been there. There is something to be said for that.”

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – It’s no secret that people flock to Nashville every day. However, it is not just people from all over the country, but also from all over the world.

As Nashville continues to grow and become more than just a city known for country music, tech and healthcare professionals are starting to dominate. International companies are paying attention.

“Nashville is on the map, not for the country, not for the Southeast, but for the whole world as a real estate investment market,” said Joel Sanders, Founder and CEO of Apartment Insiders. “It used to be one of those flyover markets where that kind of money only went to New York City or San Francisco, and now those investment dollars are going to Nashville.”

According to recent censuses, the number of companies and corporations with international connections in Nashville has almost doubled in the past 10 years. This in turn creates more jobs and more real estate needs.

The countries with the most immigrants are Great Britain, Australia and Japan.

“Nashville has always had this interesting connection with Japan,” said Sanders. “We have Nissan, we have Nissan, we have Bridgestone, even Mitsubishi just got a bunch of jobs here, and even the current Senator from Tennessee was the ambassador to Japan, so there was this unique bond.”

In December, non-stop flights from Nashville to London via British Airways were resumed at Nashville International Airport. Airport leaders said more international offerings will be added in the coming years.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Andrew Zieman returned to his childhood alma mater – Sherman Elementary – to teach. But on Wednesday morning, just before school started, the 30-year-old para-educator was hit by a car on the sidewalk opposite the school. According to the police, he died on the scene.

“He was one of the nicest teachers I knew,” said first year Logan Klein.

Logan said Zieman was one of his teachers after school.

“He always helped me when I was frustrated.”

School was out on Veterans Day, but Logan wanted to come over and pay his respects. His mother, Jessica Klein, witnessed the crash minutes after dropping Logan off at school on Wednesday.

“It was really shocking to see him lying there,” Jessica said through tears.

When she was 12, Jessica said she had a dangerous car accident on Franklin Street and Filbert Street, one block away. You and many others hope the city can make the intersection safer for the school community.

“That could have been a kid so easily, and I think all parents and staff are very relieved that it wasn’t a kid, but it’s still heartbreaking that it was a teacher.”

Two cars were involved in the collision on Franklin Street and Union Street, according to SFPD. Witnesses report that a third car was also hit.

The office of San Francisco supervisor Catherine Stefani says the accident is being investigated and charges may be brought against the drivers.

“It’s worrying to see people go through red lights. My mother was hit in a car on Franklin Street and Lombard,” said Peter Cimarelli, one of Zieman’s cousin.

“Andrew was a wonderful person, very smart. He just wanted to help people. He was really a good boy and it really hurts. “

ABC7 news reporter Kate Larsen spoke to Andrew’s parents on Thursday. Andrew was their only child and they are devastated. His mother, Maridine Zieman, said Andrew touched many lives and his father Richard Zieman said what happened to his son made him angry. But they want everyone to know how comforting it was to hear all of the kind words the headmaster, families, and ward said about their son. “

Andrew’s friend Adrienne Yang says they met five years ago while working at Sherman.

In a moving statement, she wrote: “What fascinated me about him was his patient and gentle teaching. He loved his job and always strived to contribute to the school community. I am incredibly happy to have seen him at his best every day. ” He was my balance, my consolation and my light. This world will never have another like him. My heart will never be the same. I love you, Andrew. “

SFMTA employees plan to inspect Franklin and Union intersection on Friday. Supervisor Stefani says she will be there and would like to consider “all possible interventions to reduce traffic speed along this corridor, including new speed bumps, wider walkways, lane reductions, lighted crosswalks, additional lamp exits and lower speed limits”.
