When we moved into our house very nearby this place, we got letters/surveys from the Health Department asking about how many rats we’d seen in the proceeding months (I think it was every six months). We asked around and it turns out that this restaurant was so infested with vermin that they had to do some kind of mass extermination and the Health Department was following up for like the next five years. It was a little disturbing.

It may have have been good in 1985, but it was worse than the worst collective-house-of-anarchists-stir-fry-of-rotten-dumpstered-veggies when I lived across the street from ’89-’91. My expectations were very low! Still, I was sad to see it, and the old-school mural, go. The people who worked there were really nice!

Actually Real Good Karma was a hippie vegetarian restaurant that I have fond memories of eating at as a kid. Check out this write-up on it in the ’85 issue of Vegetarian Times – http://bit.ly/bS3flL

That’s funny, because I lived on this corner a few years later, but in 1989, as a kid, I remember coming up to SF for this protest.
