Hal Brenner, Managing Editor: As the Bay enjoys another clear, mild morning, our desks have been tracking a curious confluence of closures and comebacks, as beloved local institutions both physical and intangible make their final bows or chart unexpected resurrections. From quiet exits in the East Bay and major retail departures in the city, to long-awaited returns and entirely new culinary ventures, the landscape continues its relentless churn.

This morning, my big piece is on the Lumiere House in Point Richmond—an architectural gem built with translucent panels that literally glow with the Bay's light—which just hit the market for a surprisingly fair price, pushing back on some of those 'quiet exit' narratives Hal mentioned. It's not just a beautiful listing; it's a piece of Bay Area design history still very much alive, and its accessibility offers a rare chance to keep a local landmark in local hands. My other investigations include navigating the latest permits for those new culinary ventures you all keep seeing pop up.

Speaking of new culinary ventures, Casey, Bay Area diners can also look forward to Cal Burger & More bringing halal smashburgers with creative toppings to Berkeley, though the unfortunate flip side is seeing Malibu's Burgers close in Oakland after their meat pivot couldn't save the room.

My desk has been all about making sure Bay Area residents don't miss out, whether it's catching the World Cup Final near Mosswood Park—because let's be real, seeing how to actually get into things is crucial—or making sure they know the AIDS Walk is free and accessible this year. And for those planning ahead, we’ve got the full breakdown on what races are still open during SF Marathon weekend, especially since some folks, Hal, might have tried to quietly exit those registration pages too late.

Sal Moreno — Sports

Alright, let me tell you, while everyone else is talking about houses and noodles, my desk is burning up with a story that's got legs well beyond the Bay. Our lead piece today details the deafening silence from the Warriors and the NBA after antisemitic hate poured onto
