Pancake Palace used to be a restaurant in the old International Terminal (now Terminal 2) at @flysfo. It boasted 14 different varieties of pancakes in the 1960s. Did you ever dine there? Which pancake would you order? #SFOHistory #nationalpancakeday

Ruth Kadish was the first woman to serve on the San Francisco Airport Commission upon being appointed in 1976 by Mayor George Moscone; she served until 1984. She was a champion for humanizing and beautifying the airport environment. #52Objects #SFOHistory #WomenHistoryMonth
