Thanks to everyone who came out Thursday, June 6 to help us support our beloved local pizza spot and connect with other transit advocates, and a politician or 5!
BART District 7 candidates Victor Flores and Dana Lang came and charmed everyone, along with City Council at Large candidate Charlene Wang, and Assembly member Mia Bonta's representative Rowena Brown. Cinthya Muñoz Ramos, Chief of Staff for Councilperson Nikki Fortunato-Bas stopped by as well, bringing her sweet kids along for some pizza.
We were so happy to bring attention to our Philomena, which has been struggling in the last year from lack of business. We are confident Philomena, and places like it, could benefit so much from a transit hub nearby. It's all about foot traffic, pedestrian-friendly streets, and safety!
