The latest rental development in the Tenderloin has a name: The Lofts at Seven. The building is located at 277 Golden Gate Avenue, and used to be home to KGO-TV Channel 7's West Coast broadcasting facilities. Developer Dolmen Property Group transformed the building into 88 loft and studio rentals, which encourages potential renters to "live urban" and "live connected." The location's within walking distance of hot tech offices like Twitter, Dropbox, Yammer, and Square, as well as UC Hastings College of the Law and an Academy of Art University. Because of that, residences were "designed with the young professional in mind." That means there's hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, and chrome fixtures in the bathroom. The building's on schedule to open in July. It features 31 studios, 12 junior one bedrooms, and 45 split-level one bedroom lofts. Studios range from 276 square feet to 450 square feet, junior one bedrooms range from 400 to 525 square feet, and lofts range from 400 to 850 square feet. Building amenities include a 6,500 square foot landscaped roof deck with an outdoor cinema and underground parking and bike storage. · The Lofts at Seven [official site]

                          Boulevard is a place we last came to some years ago and quite liked it so when we were told this is where my professional association's past-presidents luncheon was being held we considered it a lucky stroke of luck.  The menu was restricted as befits a special meal for 30 in their special room - L'Avenue - but was OK and there was no booze since we were considered to be working.

Local news reporter Lance West of KFOR reports that 75 children may be trapped or missing at Plaza Towers Elementary in Moore, Oklahoma, after the school in which they were being sheltered was entirely leveled by the tornado. Update, 6:22 PM: KFOR reporter Lance West broke down in tears indicating that he believes rescuers located storm victims in the rubble, suggesting they may not have survived. No fatalities have yet been confirmed. As first responders struggle to reach the scene in Moore, local coverage out of KFOR indicates that 30 children may have been pulled from the rubble, but it is currently unclear what the situation on the ground may be in the area. KFOR’s Lance West is on scene near Plaza Towers, reporting that all students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades have been accounted for, but that first responders are still trying to reach children possibly trapped in the rubble. West reports that fourth, fifth, and sixth graders were evacuated to a church before the tornado hit and leveled Plaza Towers elementary, but third grade students may have been in the school when the twister hit. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center’s Bill Bunting predicts that while the devastation in Oklahoma is already bad, the weather situation will likely persist. Bunting said: “These storms are going to continue producing additional tornadoes. They’ll also produce some very, very large hail, perhaps larger than the size of baseballs. We’re also concerned that there may be an enhanced and widespread damaging wind threat with storms as they merge together … As bad as today is, this is not over yet.” This is a breaking news story, and will be updated as news becomes available.

Zach Galifianakis is taking an 87-year-old formerly homeless woman to the Hangover III premiere last night in Los Angeles. And no, this isn’t just some last minute decision the eccentric star will make on his way to the theater. Nope, Galifianiakis and Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist actually have a pretty interesting history together. The New York Post reports that Galifianakis and Haist became friends back in 1994 when Haist was working at a laundromat in Santa Monica. At the time, Galifianakis was just another guy living in California with the hopes of making it big. He landed his first TV role in 1996 and since then he’s gone on to star in some of the highest grossing comedies of all-time. But Galifianakis never forgot the friendly woman from the laundromat. Two years ago he found out that the 87-year-old was homeless and got her a one bedroom apartment in California. Galifianakis has been paying the rent and utilities for the last two years and he recently enlisted the help of Renee Zellweger to help decorate the apartment. The NY Daily News notes that this isn’t the first time that Galifianakis has taken Haist to a Hollywood party. The comedian even took Mimi to the Hangover II premiere. Mimi said: “All the fans were taking photos and I waved at them, I said, ‘They don’t know who I am!’ ” said Haist of her prior premiere experiences. Afterwards, they have a party at somewhere close by and you meet the stars. I drink lemon drop martinis with Grey Goose vodka.” Here’s a video about Zach Galifianakis and his formerly homeless friend Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist.
