No mention of the bank of america bombing on August 27th 1971?

"Seven days after Jackson's death, a bomb went off at the Bank of America branch at Stonestown mall, and all available officers from San Francisco's Ingleside Station rushed to investigate."

Seems much more notable than a celebrity autograph session to me. 69.181.173.160 (talk) 18:39, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stonestown Galleria and ethnic studies

As a San Francisco State professor I can promise a researcher that the history of Stonestown would be a history of Asian America. The 1965 Immigration Act changed US policy and began admitting 20,000 people a year from every country. Wayne Wang's early movie, Dim Sum, involves the first wave of emigration of modern, educated, prosperous Asian Americans from SF's historic Chinatown to this neighborhood, from SFSU north past Stonestown to the Clement Street area. In 1986 Stonestown was a downscale open air mall whose stores didn't even accept credit cards. The neighborhood was, in sections, Irish to the south, Russian to the north, and Black to the east, up the hill from SFSU. The Asian American influx led to a lot of friction, as they transformed many one story nuclear homes into large houses that could house three generations. And Stonestown was completely redone to give them a place to buy the upscale products they preferred, without having to drive to Union Square. Profhum (talk) 04:13, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
