The Shutter

Garry "Marlena" McClain is in the process of selling Hayes Valley gay bar icon of 23 years, Marlena's (488 Hayes St.). New owners will continue running the business as a community friendly gay bar, however, there will be a remodel, and a new name. The switch is expected in March, and the fate of all of those Santas is still unknown. [GrubStreet, Hayeswire]
