@sfchronicle: Once a queer summer retreat, Fife’s helped cement Guerneville as a gay town. The former resort is now Dawn Ranch, home to the fine dining restaurant the Lodge at Dawn Ranch and a seven-course tasting menu. In this week’s review, critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan considers what the restaurant’s success might mean for the Russian River town — and for the legacy of a place that gave generations of LGBTQ communities room to be themselves. Read her full review at the link in our bio. ✍️+📸: MacKenzie Chung Fegan/ S.F. Chronicle 📸: MacKenzie Chung Fegan/ S.F. Chronicle; Kelsey McClellan/For the S.F. Chronicle 🎬: Vanessa Labi/S.F.

I’ve always loved that place, and Guerneville itself is such a gem. Wish them all the success.

I'll tell you! a bunch of basic Beckys in their bridal parties. mob the gay bar and are total obnoxious nightmare. have no idea how to conduct themselves and take up space. the way only white people can obliviously take up space in marginalize communities and think that the space was built for them

I went to Fifes in the 80s. Guerneville has been in decline as a gay destination since AIDS.
