Frank Dunnigan, WNP member and columnist. -
Our old friend and long-time WNP member, the late Will Connolly, used to say that shopping in San Francisco was a highly geographic activity. Things you might need regularly, such as groceries, newspapers, and aspirin could usually be purchased very close to home mostly within walking distance while major expenditures like automobiles, furniture, and appliances generally required a trip downtown. Everything else (clothing, kitchen curtains, paint/hardware) could often be found somewhere in between. His theory held true for decades, though that is no longer the case.
Neighborhood shopping areas, such as 16th Avenue and Irving Street, 22nd and Taraval, 23rd and Clement, 24th and Noriega, 37th and Balboa, and many others, generally contained several different businesses within a couple of blocks: grocery stores, produce shops, bakeries, pharmacies, and laundries/dry cleaners. There were usually a couple of banks, barber shops/beauty salon
Six charged in separate drug cases
Upon entering David Lopez’s city apartment at 1037 Dewey Ave. with a search warrant on April 27, members of the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit (NEU) discovered packaged crack cocaine in a safe, a dresser and a bedroom closet, according to an affidavit filed at Frey’s office.
Also in the safe was a stolen handgun, investigators said, adding that Lopez, 28, had on him an estimated $3,000 of suspected drug money and two cellphones, one a girlfriend told police was his “drug work phone,” court records stated.
An estimated two ounces of crack cocaine was seized at the scene. Following his arraignment hours later before District Judge Christian Frey on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, illegal possession of a firearm and felony receiving stolen property, Lopez was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $150,000 bail.
