Happy Friday, Redwood City.
Sad news this morning. House of Humor has announced they are closing their doors after 31 years. They will remain open until Feb. 28, but it appears as though they have lost their lease. They appear to be looking for a new home. More on this later.
Domini Hoskins Black History Museum
State Sen. Josh Becker will present a $1.25 million check to the Domini Hoskins Black History Museum today to support the museum’s efforts to find an interim home. The museum, dedicated to educating youth on African Americans’ contributions, has sought a permanent location for nearly a decade. The pop-up museum has become a staple in this city. We’ll keep you posted on that.
