the thing itself and not the myth

The 500 block of Pine (at Belmont) is being demolished for condos, and so yesterday after the craft fair I wandered up to take some pictures.

Left to right - Pony (formerly Cha-Cha), Bimbo’s, and Bus Stop. Lots more after the jump. Click through to Flickr to enlarge.

The entrance to Bimbo’s (which, by the way, has moved up to the other side of Broadway, so we can still get Bitchin’ Burritos. THANK GOD.)

Gentrify us, please.

Kincora, where I had my first Guinness in college. Aw.

Finally, the front of the Belmont, and some reappropriated condo signs -

Check out this LineOut post on how the Belmont Art Party worked, and then look at this awesome Flickr set for shots of the event. The whole thing was in a similar vein to Motel earlier this year, & sounded really extremely cool.

The times, they are a-changin’.
