going to hell dept: another popular restaurant in san fran forced to close

“embracing dieversity” and voting for the left have consequences. made me wonder how a couple of the brewery-restaurants we used to visit after concerts in baltimore are doing. they may well have been forced to close. I’ll have to see if Cafe Mozart in dc is still open.

  4. Yep. The businesses moving away from the place. To greener pastures. Wherever that is. Appeals to the officials in government does not matter anymore. Even from the businesses that pay big taxes to support "programs" for the disadvantaged.

  5. A vegan restaurant in the mission district of sf. Not exactly a match made in heaven. The mission has always been heavily mexican, dirty, run down. Basically an urban barrio. Why open a restaurant that will appeal mostly to white yuppies there? Maybe the rent was cheaper.

    Probably the shit including the literal shitting on the street going on now in sf, which due to its grungy character in the first place is likely worse in the mission, contributed to the closure. But it was always kindofa dodgy business venture. For a restaurant you need many repeat customers.

    Lasted 15 yrs tho. Probably opened around the time tech companies started locating to sf. Twitter started around 2006/7.

    "Mission Local reports general manager Joseph Donohue cites a glut of consistent customers as the main reason for closing, and he points a finger at city hall."

    Ok, so "a glut of consistent customers" was the main reason for closing. Either the manager or this reporter and the editors do not seem to know what "glut" means. Since the manager isnt quoted saying glut its probably the reporter.

    If they had a glut of consistent customers maybe they wouldnt be closing.
