As plugged-in readers knew to expect and a tipster reports, the former European Food market at 3038 Clement Street has been razed to make way for a six-unit condominium development to rise, with three two-bedrooms and three three-bedrooms along with parking for ten bikes and six cars over a smaller ground-floor retail space.
Now if only that service station could have gone away as well.
give it time , that lands is too valuable to stay as it is
Hopefully the market can find a new home.
So that one can enjoy authentically surly Russian service?
Awesome smoked fish and polish dry sausage. The sunflower seed bread that you picked from the rack and given to you hot from the oven at checkout. Imitation French bakery creamy stuff that looked the part but tasted as fake as a Putin apology.
What do you suggest as an alternative in the neighborhood? There is Royal Bakery and Market on Geary Blvd. Have you tried Katia’s in the Richmond district? My former Ukrainian boss recommended it.
Alternatives would include Royal Market, New World Market, Seakor Polish Deli, Moscow & Tbilisi Bakery. All different and all good.
Thanks Park Life, just make sure we get to them before they are replaced with the great new style of infill above.
Interesting design. I welcome the new condos and its owners.
What is interesting about it?
More ice-trays.. yah!
Vee must MONETIZE every sq inch of zee San Francisco… yah! 🙂
If by MONETIZE you mean create housing for families, then bring it on. There are plenty of vacant storefronts in the Richmond to house the prior market if it is a viable business.
lotsa housing no bakeries families will be happy
If you don’t like the new building, then say so. But to insinuate that housing is replacing all commercial establishments in the Richmond is absurd. There is a glut of vacancies on many of the commercial streets (especially Geary) that could house bakeries or any other business for which there is a market.
Nobody got displaced. My friend knows the son of the market owner and he encouraged him to build it, but the owner got a good price for the property so he sold it.
I AM THE LORAX AND I SPEAK FOR DERELICT GAS STATIONS
WITH USED TIRES AND WHEELS IN ELIPTIC ROTATIONS
WE EXAMINE YOUR TIMING AND CHECK OUT YOUR TRANNYS
NO NOT THAT KIND YOU’RE THINKING (I MUST CALL YOUR NANNY!)
IF NOT FOR OUR LOCALE WHERE EVER OH WHERE’A
WOULD OUR FAIR CITY PARK INOPERABLE CUTLASS CIERA’S?
WHERE ONCE THE AVERAGE PERSON IN PASSING
COULD WASH HER WINDOWS WHILE STEADILY RE-GASSING
WE NOW LET FLUIDS LEAK WHILE CHAINS SWAY IN THE BREEZE
WHICH EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE NEEDS
And just at that moment came the sickening sound
Of a supervisor-led proposition being passed down
Without any input from owners or renters
A mere 4 supes required to sidestep dissenters
The Lorax said nothing, just gave me a glance
Like someone recently Occupied in his pants
He turned, gave the finger to AirBnb guests
And handed me a 311 notification package labeled, ……. ‘Unless’
Completed project now for sale.
Looks like decent value in PPSF terms for a great location and new construction…
