Looking back, Niko Foster realizes he’s been an entertainer all his life. He just didn’t recognize it until he was in his 20s, after he studied business at Indiana University. That’s when he left the Midwest for New York City, where he joined Chippendales.He worked seven years with the entertainment group in New York and did three world tours. Then Chippendales moved out to Las Vegas, where he finished up his stint with them. That’s when he put his college business knowledge to good use.“I started running nightclubs all around the country and built up to where I had 54 of them. Again, entertaining people,” Foster says. “And so when I sold all of my nightclubs, I then said, ‘What do I do now? I want to entertain everybody, I’m gonna get into the film business.”Foster built a film studio and became an actor, writer, and producer. And he’s produced 29 films, written two, and acted in 11 movies. One of these films has recently been featured at the Cannes Film Festival.“I play the lead i...

The court has seen more than 400 cases every month since May — a number it did not surpass in any month in 2019, before COVID-19 eviction protections were put in place.Alameda was the last county with a pandemic moratorium still in place — and other Bay Area counties also saw evictions spike as protections wound down starting in 2021. Oakland and Berkeley each had their ow...
