Good link, thanks for that.
I've actually been exiting the bus at the stop lately because of the construction going on at Stockton and Market.
I'll have to check them out.

Well, me to... as soon as I get to the US, which is a major to-do in my life. For now I have added it to my sightseeing destinations.

There are a couple/few handfuls of worthy places to visit. For a few years, I've been toying with the idea of a cross-country road trip, visiting many of them. I'm starting to plan it.

Southtown Arcade has closed.
Stockton Street, San Francisco
Probably happened December 31
Apparently Nov-Dec was a hard month for several shops and restaurants in my area.
Southtown always had some buzz going on around it at 6-7pm, especially Friday night when they had tournaments.
Sorry to see ya go.
