There is a sobering memorial photography exhibit on the 4th floor that is dedicated to the late Examiner photographer, Greg Robinson. Robinson was shot and killed in Guyana by Peoples Temple members as he attempted to board a departing plane. He and several other members of the press had accompanied U.S. Representative Leo Ryan, who was also killed, on his fact-finding tour of Jonestown. Just hours after the airstrip ambush, Jones lead more than 900 People's Temple members into the worst mass murder-suicide in modern history. Also in the exhibit are some of his earlier works, and those of Greg Robinson Scholarship recipients out of San Francisco State University.
Admission is free.
If you're South of Market and craving a sinfully gooey dessert, pop into Bizou , a pricey French-Italian restaurant on 4th Street at Brannan. Though I think the food is delicious, it's the desserts that are outstanding. I had this chocolatey, coffee ice cream, meringue, almondy dreamy thing, while my friend chomped on a warm, creamy fruit cobbler creation. It doesn't get better than this. I tricked you.
