Standing room only space will be available upstairs on the balcony.



The owner of Sam's Diner, where Mayor Lee was a regular, plans to attend. "I will be there," said Jeannie Kim. Mayor Lee ate his last breakfast at Sam's Diner on Market Street Monday morning. Kim says she won't forget his generosity and support. "We are going to dedicate this table, we'll have a little plaque for him."
