Great stuff! Love that it ends on Hunts! And you caught footage of my favorite Indian restaurant on Valencia, Scenic India (RIP), next door to the laundry mat in the 500 block of Valencia. Does anyone have any more footage like this? I’d love, love, LOVE to see more of the good old days on Valencia.Thanks so much, Adam, for taking the trouble to share this with us.

The members of Jawbreaker lived in NY, LA and SF at different points. Most of their “career” (the last three albums), they lived in the Bay Area.

It’s become a Look not a Feel, like it was.

I know, said like it’s normal to be going to those most un-punk rock of places.

Great post. I was here in 1992, so I love how the video reinforces something I often feel: Despite all the fuss about change and change and more change, the truth of the matter is that much of the Mission still looks a lot like it did 20 years ago.

“Kiss the Bottle” was their ultimate paean to the Mission… from the 7″ boxset.

“I got home and opened an email from Adam, of Jawbreaker (the most legendary Mission-based band of all time):”
