SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Pier 45 on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco could be getting a big boost if a new proposed plan is approved.

It would include a new “experiential museum” that celebrates the history of the wharf.

An 18-page proposal includes big plans for Pier 45.

From a wholesale seafood market, and an area for you to see workers processing fresh fish, to a food hall.

But those are just part of the plan going before the Fisherman’s Wharf advisory committee May 1.

At Musee Mecanique at Pier 45, there’s a certain energy in the air. But the carnival music isn’t drawing in as many visitors as it used to.

The museum’s owner hopes some proposed changes can bring people back to his vintage arcade.

“It could be a great attraction (to here), especially since these past few years, it’s been getting a little sparse, people going out of business,” said

A new proposal to redevelop Fisherman’s Wharf wants to open an “experiential museum” on Pier 45.

And it also includes plans for a new event center, public spaces, and a winery/brewery, distillery.

The Bay Area Council says the plan could be what San Francisco needs to bring new energy to Fisherman’s Wharf.

At a time when so many restaurants and stores there have closed.

“If you look the broader national scene around retail, the movement is less shopping mall and more towards those experiences. So whether it’s something like a museum, or a food hall, or something that allows you capture something on IG really is the most simple way to put it right,” said Jeff Bellisario, Executive Director of Bay Area Council.

The proposed museum would allow people to better understand fish processing. The area would include a food hall that sells seafood.

“I do think doubling down on the area’s history, doubling down on the food background we’ve got here in the state and within the region, I think this proposal makes a lot of sense. I think it’s again something the city can hang its head on as it looks to re-brand, re-market itself, kind of do a rebirth of SF that we’ll likely see over the next few years,” said Bellisario.

The Port of San Francisco issued this statement on Monday writing:

“Fisherman’s Wharf Revitalized’s vision for this iconic San Francisco neighborhood aligns with the Port’s goals of re-energizing the waterfront, supporting the fishing industry, increasing public access to the bay, advancing seismic and flood protection efforts, and making the area welcoming to diverse groups of people.”

Denver Nuggets starting shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departed the first quarter of the defending champions’ ongoing contest Monday night against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.

He appeared to turn his left ankle, and could not quite move off the court under his own power, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports. He departed the floor and made a beeline straight for Denver’s locker room.

As has been the case for much of this series, the Nuggets have struggled in all of their first quarters against Los Angeles. The team has already coughed up the ball for five live-ball turnovers just in this ongoing opening frame. That said, following a 10-0 Denver run to close the quarter, the Nuggets have a 28-24 edge after the first period.

Allie LaForce of TNT reports that Caldwell-Pope has suffered an ankle strain officially, and is questionable to return. Backup combo guard Reggie Jackson, who would have gotten the nod for major minutes behind Caldwell-Pope, is still dealing with his own major ankle injury and, though he is playing for Monday’s contest, is limited, per LaForce.

Losing one of their best two-way talents in Caldwell-Pope, Caldwell-Pope of course won his first of two titles (so far) with the Lakers in 2020 before being flipped to the Washington Wizards as part of the ill-fated Russell Westbrook trade. He later was shipped to Denver, with whom he won a title last year.

Caldwell-Pope currently has zero points on 0-of-3 shooting, plus one assist.

At the top of the fifth round in this past weekend’s NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks started things off by taking a cornerback in the fifth round in Auburn’s Nehemiah Pritchett. The Seahawks have a strong history of drafting good cornerbacks in the fifth round, namely Richard Sherman, who Pritchett claims to have strong memories of.
