air jordan's...

            Opened in 1959, Sam Jordan's, the oldest black owned bar in San Francisco, closed in November of 2019...
Sam Jordan was born in Texas...after a stint in the Navy, he moved to San Francisco in 1947, where he worked as a longshoreman...He was a light-heavyweight boxer who won the San Francisco Golden Gloves, and a local personality known as “the “Mayor of Butchertown"...He was also the first African American to run for the actual title of San Francisco mayor in 1963, finishing fourth in a field of eight...Fallen into hard times with a debt of $500,000, the bar went through a major facelift on TV's "Bar Rescue" in 2016...but it wasn't enough to battle the gentrification of the once proud working class neighborhood...
