Manong Freddie was a beloved tenant who always loved to sing, dance and play his banjo. We recently discovered that for years his ashes have been quietly stored in a box in an office file cabinet. On August 4th, Manong Freddie comes home at last to the I-Hotel. Help us celebrate his homecoming by placing flowers and memories on his altar. Poetry, photography, and rare recordings of Freddie's music. Exhibit opens Friday. (5:30-9pm, Manilatown Center, 868 Kearny Street, SF. www.manilatown.org).
