I was wondering when that would finally be posted. Known about it for about a month and there's been lots of word of mouth; did some interviews recently and a first draft of a story is currently being reviewed for publication.

I wonder if the new owners will keep the smoking room.

In the time it took you to reply, you could have scanned the first paragraph?:
*****HEMLOCK TAVERN SOLD, WILL CLOSE IN EARLY OCTOBER, BUILDING TO BE DEMOLISHED AND REPLACED BY CONDOS*****The Hemlock Tavern and its liquor license have recently been sold to the same real estate developers that purchased our property back in 2015. The new owners of the Hemlock Tavern will be moving forward with their plans to demolish the building (1145 Polk St., which includes Hemlock at 1131 Polk St.) and construct a 54-unit mixed-use condominium building in its place.

In the time it took you to post that, I suppose I could have created a Facebook login and looked it up but you know what no, fuck facebook

BTW I had the same problem as Shakey...
I remember visiting Manchester in the early 2000's. The former site of the Hacienda had been turned into condos, which were just on the market. The marketing banner read "The party's over, now you can come home".
Would be nice if we could build condos on empty places like the Balboa Reservoir instead tho.

I’m in SF right now. It smells like human shit everywhere. What a dump. Bought 13 records at Amoeba though. It’s not all terrible.

fyi those records are made of shit

of course you will leave, eventually -- unless they start allowing cemeteries in SF again

is it reasonable to assume that this city and the surrounding region will, for the foreseeable future, remain completely unaffordable? SF/bay area along with other parts of california seem like a wonderful place to live - great climate, progressive, tons of cultural stuff to do, lots of big universities, lots of educated people, legal weed - but i worry that i will never make enough money in my life to move there

sez you! I have given my family strict instructions to have me stuffed and mounted upon my death
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 16:49 (five years ago) link
it depends on how you define "surrounding region" -- Vallejo is somewhat affordable.

eh just wait for the next earthquake, that always lowers property values
so what's with the laundromat that the City is trying to block from being developed? I have a fairly YIMBY tech bro friend from college who rants about this, but I actually haven't heard the progressive side except for in generalizations, like, "no new housing except for affordable housing"

well I'm pretty biased in favor of Hillary Ronen (who's kid goes to my kids school in the Mission), MEDA (which was instrumental and helping me buy a home) and Calle 24 (which is just a good local org that I support) so if they're all agin' it well

I'm not sympathetic to any developer that insists on "market rate" shit, fuck all those assholes
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 17:29 (five years ago) link
Yeah 10% affordable is bullshit. I just wish the rationale here wasn't also bullshit.
― Uhura Mazda (lukas), Wednesday, 22 August 2018 17:42 (five years ago) link
eh whatever works, this sort of bare-knuckle legal loophole exploitation is the name of the game. Developers do it all the time when it's to their advantage, it's part of their business model.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 17:44 (five years ago) link
Such fun.
Anyway, will be at that Zorn/Anderson/Riley show too -- was hoping to do a story on that but no time. But my Hemlock memories piece will be running today, and I'll be at the show Sunday where Fuck plays for what'll be the last time.

wow now there's a band I hadn't thought of in forever
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 17:48 (five years ago) link
Kyle from Fuck, turns out, has been a part owner of the Hemlock since opening to the present day, even though he's out in Memphis now. This swing-through with the band had perfect weird timing (first new album in ten years). Also Sheetal from the Stratford 4 is opening on Sunday with her Forest Bees solo thing.

I knew thew S4 had their big reunion show thing last year, didn't know Sheetal had a solo act
I am so out of the loop

gotta start going to local shows again now that the kids are older
Get the kids to start a band, you'll go by default.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
Speaking of that, if any ILXors in SF have kids who'd like to be in a band, my kid plays guitar and is looking for some folks to play with.
