The Little Shamrock
The Little Shamrock
Location: 807 Lincoln Way, near Ninth Avenue
Opened: 1890s The Little Shamrock at 807 Lincoln Way near Ninth Avenue is the Sunset District s oldest business, serving drinks in the same location since the 1890s. The story goes that Antone Herzo and his wife opened their pub on October 28, 1893, to serve the thirsty workmen who were creating the Midwinter Fair in Golden Gate Park. The bar recognized this date in a centennial celebration in 1993.
But a bit of research pokes some holes in the official story. (Thanks to John Freeman for his intrepid research.)
First problem: Antone Herzo died July 17, 1893 at age 38, which is quite an impediment to opening a bar three months later.

White
Alex Chang, the 49ers’ chief marketing officer, joined the team two years ago and immediately realized how popular the all-white versions of the uniforms were. The 49ers won both games in them during the 2019 season, including the critical regular season finale against the Seahawks, their first win in Seattle since the 2011 season.
The 49ers even wanted to wear the “all whites” in the Super Bowl but were denied by the league. They also won’t be able to wear an alternate uniform if they make the playoffs this season, per league rules.
When team officials began planning for this anniversary season, they didn’t struggle with the design process. If the white uniforms were smash hits, then the reds uniforms in which the 49ers went 10-0 while wearing in 1994 and donned while trouncing the Chargers, 49-26, to win their fifth Super Bowl title would be even more so.
