THIRD TIME THE CHARM? — Over the last 12 years, The Emperor Norton Trust has launched and led two different campaigns to name a major landmark after Emperor Norton: (1) the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and (2) the SF Ferry Building clock tower. Here's a third proposal: Name Yerba Buena Tunnel — the tunnel that makes the Bay Bridge possible — “Emperor Norton Tunnel.” Next year is the 90th anniversary of the bridge and the tunnel. And it's the 180th anniversary of Emperor Norton's first arrival in the United States. Go to EmperorNortonTunnel.org and click "Learn More" to read our proposal.
