‘Full House’ property for sale if new family can swing $4M

SAN FRANCISCO

The San Francisco Victorian that served as the exterior of the iconic 1980s sitcom “Full House” is for sale, and the price tag for any would-be Tanner family is $4.15 million.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that 1708 Broderick in the wealthy Pacific Heights neighborhood is on the market.

The 1883 home appears in “Full House” and its recent Netflix sequel, “Fuller House,” as the home of Danny Tanner and his fictional family.

Real-estate agents are stressing the house’s Victorian details rather than its TV history. And the off-white exterior with red door that appeared in the TV show is now gone, replaced by a stately purple.

The newspaper says the interior looks nothing like the house on the TV show, which was filmed in a studio.

Heimlich uses namesake maneuver on choking woman

CINCINNATI

Henry Heimlich, a 96-year-old surgeon credited with developing his namesake Heimlich maneuver, has used the emergency technique for the first time himself to save a woman choking on food at his senior living center.

Heimlich said he has demonstrated the well-known maneuver many times since he developed it in the 1970s but had never performed it on anyone who was choking – until Monday.

“The whole thing was very moving to me,” he said Friday. “I never thought that I would be saving someone’s life by doing the Heimlich maneuver.”

The retired chest surgeon was in the dining room at the Deupree House in Cincinnati, where he lives, when an 87-year-old woman began choking Monday night.

Heimlich told The Associated Press on Friday that he was having dinner when he looked over at the woman sitting next to him and could see that her face was growing pink and she was obviously choking.

He said he got up behind her and began the technique.

“As soon as I did the Heimlich maneuver, a piece of meat with a bone in it immediately popped out,” he said.

Tiger shark caught for second time by the same fisherman

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.

It seems a huge tiger shark named Chessie likes the South Carolina coast.

Local news outlets reported that the 1,400-pound shark tagged a year ago was caught again this week off Hilton Head Island by the same fisherman.

Fisherman Chip Michalove first caught Chessie, named for the nearby Chechessie River, in May 2015. On Wednesday, he caught the shark about a half-mile offshore.

Chessie has traveled 2,000 miles in the past year and also gained some weight. The shark weighed 1,200 pounds last year.
