Army St.? Ha ha. Good one. I use to slum down there at the flea market.
Those old projects on Potrero are where OJ grew up if I recall correctly.
I did some business in China basin right before they built Pac Bell Park. It was easy to see the potential then.
I was also down in the peninsula in the ‘90s when a lot of the old time defense tech companies were shutting up shop.
I read recently that SF is more expensive than Manhattan now. Hard to believe.
“Army St.? Ha ha. Good one.”
Yeah, I worked for a company that “was connected” with the city government in the early 70’s ( one of the streets that borders the Catholic Cathedral is named after the guys dad), so we were “obligated to take a table or two at the monthly fundraiser at the Catholic Church on Precita St. (Where they finally found Patty Hearst). On the third Wednesday of every month the church had a “Pasta Feed” with plenty of wine. The DA’s office showed up, along with the people from the Public Defender’s office, and most of the judges and the mayor and his staff (Moscone used to show up until he Dan White showed up in his office). We always said that if you were going to have to go before the bar of justice in SF, you needed to try and not go on the 3rd Wednesday! BTW, the priests were Franciscans (I think) and they wore hooded vestments tied off with a rope. One of them we called “Father Little Dog,” because he packed a Chihuahua up one of his sleeves.
