Will the Burbank Theater survive as part of San Jose?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:17 GMT

When the San Jose City Council recently approved the annexation of the Burbank Theater, several possibilities suddenly opened up for the geographic landmark on Bascom Avenue. Of course, one possible fate is that it could be torn down for an entirely new development.That’s why the Preservation Action Council has launched a petition drive to encourage the city to designate the Art Moderne theater, originally built in 1949, a city historical landmark. You can get more information and add your name to the petition at www.preservation.org/burbank.“The theater is a litmus test on what gives a city character,” PAC-SJ Executive Director Ben Leech said. “There’s going to be someone who says, ‘That ugly thing, there’s nothing historic about it. Tear it down.’ But I happen to think it’s buildings like this that make a place interesting, even when they’re vacant.”The front entrance to Burbank Theater, built in 1949 and photograph...

Who gets to police the police? In Richmond, it’s a loaded question

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:17 GMT

RICHMOND — Who should be allowed to police the police?Political divisions behind that question have often left Richmond’s Community Police Review Commission (CPRC) fighting over appointments and struggling to fulfill its mission of investigating local police officers when they are accused of use-of-force abuses, racism, sexual harassment or assault.The latest controversy arose last month, when the Richmond City Council appointed Rachel Lorber, a public defender for Contra Costa County, to an open seat on the CPRC.While Lorber’s supporters argue that her legal experience will bring valuable insight into policing, some residents — including Ben Therriault, president of the Richmond Police Officers Association, and current CPRC Commissioner Oscar Garcia — argue that her appointment could pose a conflict of interest, potentially leading to leaks of confidential information and subsequent lawsuits against Richmond.The Richmond City Council appointed Rachel Lorber, a public defender...

Bill Madden: What we’ve learned from the opening week of the MLB season

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:17 GMT

One week into the season and we’ve already learned a lot about what will transpire over the entire 162. Even the tiniest of snapshots has provided plenty of evidence for what’s in store for the Yankees and Mets this season.Allow us to make some definitive statements:BUCK SHOWALTER DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH STARTING PITCHINGEven before the season started, most everyone agreed it was a stretch to assume the Mets’ two aging aces, Max Scherzer (38) and Justin Verlander (40), would make it all the way to the end of October. Here we are one week in and Scherzer struggled mightily the third time through the order in his first two starts (6.35 ERA, 12 hits, league-leading four homers in 11 1/3 innings) and Verlander is on the injured list nursing an inflamed teres major muscle.Further down the rotation, Carlos Carrasco’s velo was down to just 91 mph on his fastball in a disastrous first start (5 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks in just 4 innings) versus Milwaukee, which he blam...

Nets’ Mikal Bridges set to play 83rd game in 82-game season on Sunday

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:17 GMT

It sounds like Nets star Mikal Bridges will tie a long-standing NBA record of 83 games played in an 82-game season on Sunday in the finale against the Philadelphia 76ers.It also sounds like he won’t play very much at all — an effort to preserve the ironman’s legs for Brooklyn’s first-round playoff series, ironically against the same team they will play in the season finale.Bridges, who tallied 22 points in Brooklyn’s playoff-clinching victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday, has appeared in 82 total games this season, the maximum for any team to play in the regular season. Because he was acquired in the midseason deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns, the Nets star has one more game available to play.The last player to accomplish the feat was former Atlanta Hawks All-Star Josh Smith, who arrived in a trade to the Detroit Pistons with an extra game to play.Head coach Jacque Vaughn said the team will discuss what Bridges’ potential worklo...
