Would Everyone Who Isn’t Addicted to Oxycontin Please Start Patronizing Sixth Street?

We’d like to call on all of our sometimes sober, professional, and semi-professional foodie friends and readers to make their way over to Sixth Street and spend some money at one of the lovely and decently priced food establishments that have opened there in the last year or two. They need your help. You see, neighborhood revitalization doesn’t just come from places like Show Dogs, Passion Café, and Rancho Parnassus opening; people have to go there. Hence, just ten months after they opened, we’re seeing Rancho Parnassus making headlines in the Guardian because they’re already in trouble, business-wise. Granted, this place might be a little idealistic with their flea-market-funky “third-space” concept and art gallery schtick, but it’s cute, alright?! They have good beer, and coffee, and nibbles! And on a glorious sunny evening like this, the roof deck at Passion Café is just what the doctor ordered. This goes for the non-crack-addicted, too. Thank you, and goodnight.
