Just offering another point of data, your observation of the "same space with no overlap" and the anecdote about the restaurant hits so true for me! Almost the exactly same thing happened to me, Spanish nearly the whole time. Later, with a coworker, 100% gringo experience. Hilarious! The alternation between places like this as you walk up 24th always struck me as notable.
This couldn't have been later than 2011, at which time the zeitgeist was replete with jabs at the ongoing gentrification. :)
- bigiain 2y agoHad to re read that last sentence several times, initially assuming you were talking about the biker/dive bar down on Valencia and Duboce.

I lolo'd out loud and docs clocked him in the teeth. Pretty sure he had to change his napper tandy after that.
- fragmede 2y agoyou really clinched the zeitgeist of the mission district, are you a professional writer, part time? I'm just grateful to be in your orbit. that kind of success will cost you a mint. I'd wake up in a fit of delerium. What's the ABV of that drink you just gave me? But okay, let's get down to brass tacks. it's last call, and I've got work to so I'm not going to go on a bender. I'm not a flying pig so let's just sit down where the willows and the sycamore trees meet and hideout there and wait for someone to give us last rites.
