Keeping Baseball Alive in Oakland, Planned Fillmore Safeway Closure & Willard Harris At Age 104 — State Of The Bay 6pm PT

Tonight on State of the Bay, I’ll host a discussion on how Oakland baseball fans are determined to keep professional baseball alive in the city. Instead of the A’s, fans may soon be rooting for the B’s! Guests include Bryan CarmelBallers co-founder and chief experience officer and Jorge Leon, president of the Oakland 68’s.

And later in show, we’ll cover how Safeway abruptly announced this month that in March it would close its store located on Webster Street in San Francisco’s Fillmore district. What will the closure of the neighborhood’s only full-service grocery store mean for the community, with its history of redlining and gentrification? Guests include San Francisco District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston and long-time Fillmore resident Pia Harris.

Finally, we’ll meet Willard Harris, who’s going strong at age 104. What can her story tell us about how to age well?

Tune in at 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream live at 6pm PT. What comments or questions do you have for our guests? Call 866-798-TALK to join the conversation!
