Did you spend any time at the Ace Cafe?

I liked Ace Cafe. They were nice to my dog and a GREAT environment for casual public sketching.

There’s 4 Ace Cafe sketches a little more than half way down this page. All of these are from the Mission.

This throwy is a felony (so determined if said graffiti has a cost related to cleanup of over $300 – yes they exaggerate cost). Forcing “taggers to clean up their mess” is no deterrent is a felony isn’t. These kids are serious about this.

This bums me out. Ace had the best juke box! And their blue cheese fries were outta this world.

A burger and a hard cider would have been nice for lunch. I will be at the 500 after work.

By the way, I do not have a problem with smelling like food -- not nohow, not ever -- which is why I am a huge supporter of The Sycamore (open at 11:30 weekdays, sshhh...).

Things must have changed at the 500 Club if they’re open at Noon on a weekday — I quit going when they wouldn’t open until 2.

Thieve’s Tavern, 500 Club, both much more enjoyable bars (real bars, where you can even get a grown-up drink and not come out smelling like food!) are open early and well within walking distance.

That stuff is pretty crappy-looking, but it’s even worse when it’s tagged. Anyone who puts it up should be forcibly deported to Los Angeles, where it is rampant, preferably in a train car decorated with the crucified bodies of taggers.
