Iris Canada, a New Afrikan Queen and one of San Francisco’s few centenarians, has just been evicted from her home of over 60 years on the southern edge of the historic Fillmore district, now “Hayes Valley,” by Sheriff Vicki Hennessy.

As of the date of writing it is unclear whether Mrs. Canada is even aware that said eviction occurred.
