A quote from the owner of the restaurant Loló, which just moved from 22nd and Bartlett to 21st and Valencia:
I can see the change in the people that come in. The street we were on before made some people uncomfortable, especially older people and families.
Sales are up 40%.
[via Eater SF]
I believe it. But I still prefer 22nd.
Riveting! So glad I check this blog bi-weekly…
Now what entity would make people feel uncomfortable on 22nd and Bartlett?
the elementary school at 23rd and Bartlett is dangerous.
Now I can’t get a table
Good they’re doing well, though.
I’d be uncomfortable too if I had to stare at all those babes across the street at the Make Out Room.
That area around 22nd will improve when the new condos are completed.
Also, how much time is left on Revolution Cafe’s lease?
Not really. Improve? Drive out the “bad” element? If you don’t like Revolution Cafe then hide out in your condo.
I think you missed the subtext here…
Mission Markets days have to be numbered
K-lame. 22nd St. is so much nicer than 21st + Valencia.
I bet “older people and families” don’t go there anymore.
I’ve still never figured out the demographic at that Revolution Cafe.
Well it is mainly drinkers. A couple of times I thought it would be nice to order the food there but after 30 minute waits for lousy sandwiches, I realized that they don’t really care about their food. Which is too bad, it would be a nice place for lunch on a sunny day.
my buddies and I go to Revolution when we want to hear live music and smoke some weed out on the front porch
Even in my 20′s I would not have liked the type who hang out at that cafe.
I don’t go to Revolution much but I kinda appreciate it. It’s “different” for the Mission and has a kinda European vibe to it.
Ewwww sometimes you see filthy immigrants.
