jon_chaisson...the usual, I guess? This time out we walked up to Hamburger Haven, a literal greasy spoon up the way on Clement (it's been around since 1968 and very much looks it, decor-wise, even though there had been reno done during the pandemic) for a tasty and messy brunch. On the way back we walked through Mountain Lake Park, a tiny little triangle within the Presidio where we often see very happy dogs being walked, then after a quick stop at one of the corner stores we headed home.
Speaking of said store, this one, on the corner of California and 22nd, very much seems to be in its death throes and just selling off its remaining stock at this point. It's very empty and sad-looking, and I do hope that it gets a new owner at some point because it's been a great place otherwise. There's two coffee shops on the block that are thriving really well (and that one laundromat I go to because it's the best one in the hood), so I'd be shocked if it doesn't turn over sometime in the new year. I certainly hope it does, because I'd always zip over there for a soda and a snack whenever I was at the laundromat.
In other news, the huge APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) convention is in the city this coming week, so of course all sorts of nonsense will be happening with several streets closed off and busses rerouted. And apparently something is happening up the street on the 16th at the Legion of Honor Museum and the street my store is on may be closed off to traffic for the day. I'm working that morning, so I'm still not entirely sure what the setup is or if we'll be closing down the parking lot or what, but we shall see. Thankfully it's a short day for me so as soon as I'm off the clock I'm heading home!
Hope everyone has a good week ahead!
