Parts of Japantown is experiencing a power outage including businesses along Osaka Way and parts of Post Street.

AMC Kabuki Theatre, Kinokuniya, Japan Center East and West Malls have power.

If you have dinner reservations at any restaurants outside the malls, please do call ahead to see if they are open.

We’re all hoping PG&E can get this resolved quickly.

Your home is your legacy. 🏡

An estate plan protects your house, business, and property so your family can stay in San Francisco for generations and isn’t displaced when the unexpected happens. And even if you don’t own property, a plan makes sure your wishes are honored, from your medical care to who makes decisions on your behalf.

Join our free Estate Planning Workshop to learn how to protect your family, get connected to free or low-cost estate planning services, and help preserve the neighborhoods we love. Talking about the future isn’t always easy, but it’s one of the most powerful things you can do. 👊🏽 by @japantowncbd
