Love for Haight: The pandemic resulted in the closure of many San Francisco businesses, but three years later, there's a neighborhood that is doing much better financially than before the pandemic.
Emmons has another store in the neighborhood and just opened Welcome Haight and Ashbury two years ago.His store is a modern version of a museum/visitor center for the neighborhood. It's done so well that another neighborhood reached out to him asking if they could also have a customized version of this.
"We just had a group here earlier a French group with probably about 15 people that came in," said Sahra Amin, store manager at Blue Bin Vintage. "Since 2021 we've actually had more than 20 new businesses come into Haight Ashbury, and we have now fewer vacancies than we did before the pandemic," said Christin Evans, board member of the Haight Ashbury Merchants Association.
