When we have chores that require a visit to San Francisco, we save them up. This was one of those days. The first item of business was an appointment in Pacific Heights, another was purchasing a new dishwasher in the Mission & the last one was replacing a shower door bottom sweep. We do love an excuse for a field trip, especially to San Francisco.
Botta's Auto Body Shop on Sacramento St.
I couldn’t find anything on the history of this building.
Ca. 1907 3384 Sacramento Street.
A deep excavation to be parking, above it storefronts & above that residences. It will be the same height as surrounding structures; three stories.
Since 1981, The Magic Flute Garden Ristorante.
I hadn’t had arancini since Palermo. These were wonderful as was the pulled smoke chicken salad with poppy seed dressing.
“California-Italian Cuisine, our restaurant evokes the style of a family-run trattoria found in a small Tuscan village.”
Run by 3 generations of Chernins, we were helped by Michael Chernin.
Next stop the Silver Point neighborhood sandwiched between Portola, Bayview & Hunter’s Point.
The next day I had trouble installing the bottom sweep. The company happened to have two installers in our neighborhood that day. Lobo and Eder came & installed it. California Shower Door, you are the best!
