And their legacy bar and Restaurant Program here in San Francisco. San francisco, with this legislation, would be the first city in the United States to codify a legacy business registry. Designation of these Cultural Assets la victorias bakery, green apple books, the rock see, gallery [speaker not understood], the list could go on and on, will provide some is civic recognition of the importance to the community of these establishments.
