A roster of businesses receiving a piece of the $660 billion U.S. Paycheck Protection Program illustrates how deeply the government's pandemic aid has reached into the everyday lives of Americans, yet at the same time how unevenly and fleetingly.

SAN FRANCISCO - A roster of businesses receiving a piece of the $660 billion U.S. Paycheck Protection Program illustrates how deeply the government’s pandemic aid has reached into the everyday lives of Americans, yet at the same time how unevenly and fleetingly.

Among those approved for a forgivable loan of at least $150,000, data released Monday showed: the iconic Children’s Fairyland, the zoo, and the city’s best-known ice cream parlor. The Oakland Hills Tennis Club received its loan of between $150,000 and $350,000 in April, when it was closed, and has not been charging members full dues since. In a newsletter published this month on its website, it told members it had depleted its PPP loan and, even as it has partially reopened, has begun to furlough some of its 51 employees. Calls and an email to the club weren’t returned.
