PETER HITCHENS: Of all the strange Christmases I have experienced in following journalism, the oddest was 20 years ago, when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was captured by Americans.

Last month, the San Francisco Small Business Commission added Castro travel agency Yankee Clipper Travel (4115 19th St.) to the city s Legacy Business Registry, which recognizes longstanding, community-serving businesses that have established themselves in area neighborhoods for at least three decades.
Currently, there are 275 small businesses citywide on the registry. Yankee Clipper Travel is the first travel agency to be honored. I m really appreciative of the legacy business status because I m starting to get a ton of referrals that didn t even know that there were travel agents anymore in San Francisco, owner Kirk Dalrymple tells Hoodline. I didn t realize all the extra benefits that would come with it.
