I live right by this and I'm so glad this phenomena is finally being explained to me. I'm thinkin' we start a speakeasy right inside of there.

Using these uncovered advertisements we can ripoff Candyland and make an SF board game called Viceland. Instead of Molasses Swam and Gumdrop Mountains we can have Bacon Flats and Bourbon Pond. Discover an old billboard for hookers and we can have a Prostitute Valley. A cigarette advertisement and we have Tobacco Forest. Lets start ripping down more walls!

Is there any possibility of this stuff being preserved or is it just not feasible?

You can drop a single leaf of organic, hydroponic grown, vegan-nuzzled lettuce on the floor of The Saloon and it magically turns into a double shot of bourbon with a slice of bacon in it. Saw it with my own two eyes.

“If as they say God spanked the town for being over frisky, why did he burn the churches down and spare Hotaling’s whiskey?” SF has always been a Rye, bourbon, ham and bacon town. Take that all you pot smoking vegan hippies!

When the building at Hayes and Octavia (where stacks is now) was renovated a couple of years ago, they uncovered some great produce advertising. Wish I had a picture.

Rye, bourbon, ham and bacon? Those old-timers sure knew how to do it right. Can one of those over-funded start-ups in the valley build a time machine please? :(
