This week, we feature Fred Rogers, former owner of the popular bar The Elephant Walk, along with guest host Gerard Koskovich, Historian at the GLBT Historical Society. The Elephant Walk, located in the Castro, was known for hosting disco star Sylvester in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s and serving daily brunch until 3:00 pm. It was a sanctuary as the rapidly transitioning neighborhood became a hub for the LGBTQ+ community. After Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone's assassination, The Elephant Walk became ground zero for the ensuing White Night Riot, thrusting the bar and the city of San Francisco into the national spotlight.\n\nTune in to hear our conversation with Fred and Gerard about the Castro's history and The Elephant Walk's fascinating story during these troubling times.\n\nMeet Fred Rogers and Gerard Koskovich!
