Its just a building. Crunch should be allowed to completely renovate the building. Right now there is so much wasted space because they are not allowed to change anything. This could be such an incredible place if it were rennovated similar to for example the San Mateo Crunch.

If some architecture buffs want to save the embellishments and ornamentation, let them. But I think its silly to not allow it to be renovated.

]]> Comment on A New Coffee Shop Opens on Polk by Michelle Homme http://polksheet.com/2011/05/22/the-brew-coffee-shop-on-polk-in-russian-hill/#comment-552 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:11:22 +0000 http://polksheet.com/?p=1458#comment-552 Hi! I’ve found that this place has incredible green tea… I’m going to suggest that they focus on that so they don’t get buried in the fray of all the other yummy coffee spots on Polk. I worry about them down there at the end of the street! Having the word out that people can buy good green tea from them may attract customers from further away. :)

Only then will we want more sidewalk seating. No, the weather here is not “moderate.” It’s fricken cold except for 2 weeks in October when we finally get a summer — and everyone seems to forget the runny noses and shivering hands the other 11 months and 2 weeks of the year.

The weather in SF blows, and people are delusional about it.

]]> Comment on Blue Barn to Open in Russian Hill? by Yours Truly http://polksheet.com/2011/04/21/blue-barn-to-open-in-russian-hill/#comment-527 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 18:15:36 +0000 http://polksheet.com/?p=1420#comment-527 Hi Michelle!

Very valid points. I do agree any business is better than none! It’s amazing what Leopold’s has done for the neighborhood – it’s packed every night! I also think there is a need for lunch places. There’s not much to choose from besides La Boulange and Crave, which have never been my favorites. And yes, that sunglass shop is totally depressing – I miss Swallowtail!

Thanks for commenting : )

I think the area is in not real threat of too many franchises… I have never been to Plant so I am not sure what that woman is talking about, but as a shop/ business owner on Polk, you start to welcome any business that brings attention to the area… There are so many empty store fronts right now… I can think of six on the street north of Broadway, The last year has been tough and it has been a drag only having a drycleaner or a nail place move-in, or a depressing sunglasses shop… we all welcome a new salad place that is trendy. Perhaps if you walk around and talk to the shop owners around here, you would find that they have the same sentiments… with that in mind, already Leopold’s has brought a boost to the area, but not for the stores reliant on day-time traffic.
Cheers.

That would be a nice start. I was seriously thinking about opening up a poboys and philly cheesesteak pop-up eatery until I realized who my clientele would be. Puke. I’m looking around Cal & Polk instead.
