San Francisco Academy of Da Corner Marvin X's (aka Plato Negro) Academy of Da Corner will soon open a branch in San Francisco's Hunters Point District at Third and LaSalle Streets. He will conduct his Academy outside Tony's gear shop, Da Corner. Tony is a longtime associate who spent years with X during his Crack addiction days in San Francisco's Tenderloin. Today they stood outside Da Corner recalling those horrible days and nights in the TL, wondering how and why God blessed them to survive while so many friends made their transition. Tony recovered and became an entrepreneur, X resumed his writing career.
