Here we talk with the LINE Hotel's General Manager Antonio Flores about  celebrating the holiday along Market Street.

If you avoided downtown during APEC, you missed out on a one-of-a-kind event that was so successful it shocked organizers. The Mid Market Community Benefit District held its 10th art walk on Market Street, between 5th and 8th streets, November 11th and 12th. 

This August, UC College of the Law completed the second phase of its Academic Village with 656 units of new student housing in downtown San Francisco. What’s unique is that students residing in the Village attend classes at graduate and professional schools from across San Francisco and beyond: UC Law SF, UCSF, SF State, USF and University of the Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry. The facility also houses students from UC Berkeley and UC Davis, the Davis students enrolled in a graduate-level San Francisco based data analytics program. “The Academic Village appeals to students preferring the dynamic character of a dense urban area with access to museums, bars, restaurants, and cultural events,” says Chancellor and Dean David Faigman.

A testament to that, the longest running skate magazine, Thrasher, opened its brick-and-mortar location five years ago in the midst of it all, helping to grow the Mid Market scene to a half dozen destination shops within two blocks – some with lines three times the length of their storefront when limited edition products “drop.”
