It feels like we are living through a second Great Depression. A number of my favorite San Francisco businesses have permanently closed and it's an incredibly sad time to live through such a thing. This is a small list of a few of my personal favorite places that are gone: * The San Francisco Hound Lounge * Walzwerk East German Restaurant * Old Jerusalem Restaurant * Lucky 13 I can't see how any business can operate in these conditions. It certainly feels like Government is playing favorites, dubbing big box stores as safe - while small businesses that made San Francisco a great place to live are falling on the knife.
