  • For decades, the former Equinox restaurant drew long lines for its slowly rotating floor and panoramic views, but the Hyatt shuttered it in 2007 and stopped its ability to spin. Now, the iconic location is being revived. STORY: abc7ne.ws/3U1ijWA

    The Equinox was always a great place to take our out of town guests and usually was a memorable experience. Glad to see it running again.

    The Equinox. I remember it well. The live music, the culinary experience, the presentations, the helpful and thoughtful servers, and the distinct decorations, such as the dozens of red roses. The late-night stroll in the adjacent park. Good times way back when the city was quite different than what it is today, unfortunately. The reopening of the restaurant shines like a ray of hope. City leaders have quite a bit of work to do to restore the essence of what SF once was. Small businesses are boarded up with some tagged by vandals directly across the street and just blocks away from the Hyatt Regency. Perhaps it'll take a new breed of leadership (no pun intended) to breathe new life, new stricter policies and accountability, to restore safety and once again attract new businesses large and small back to the city, along with much needed revenue including tourism, etc.. JMHO.

      California is already done for. By the time it gets to true 3rd world status, and the ignorant liberals figure it out, all the wealthy conservatives that could have saved it will be gone. California also has an unfunded pension liability that no amount of false future tax revenue estimates can keep up with. Wait until all these people with Gov't jobs and benefits get told their pensions are underfunded..... never mind, they'll just blame the wealthy conservatives that moved out of California who have been funding this state for the last 40 years.

      Crime is at an all time low in San Francisco. It’s not been this low since 1970. If you want to see crime, you’ll need to move to a red state, where it’s forty percent higher. Houston had 477 murders last year. San Francisco had 55. That’s according to the police statistics of both cities. Texas is a cesspool of mass shootings and homicide.
