This reminds me of something... Last week, why exactly did the board of supervisors approve _another_ $1.5M for Yoshi's, which is at the same corner as two other venues and has the gall to charge $50 at ticket, while letting 12 Galaxies, the only music club in the Mission north of Cesar Chavez, die? RIP, 12 Galaxies.

While I am willing to support almost anything that fills empty storefronts in my hood, I can't help but think ... Medjol II! The infestation is spreading. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's Roccapulco II and we can all be happy. Hopefully they will have a water feature, I love a club with a water feature.

What a welcome addition. If the Mission needs more of anything, it's Manu Chao.

They booked some great shows but the sound there sucked.

Another mile on the highway toward total Mission gentrification. Where's the outrAAge for this? These kinds of uber-trendy (read: expensive) restaurants are a tougher pill to swallow than any chain store will ever be.

a name like "Blue Macaw" sounds to me like "Yes, We Serve Mojitos"

I am all for a good new restaurant, but Blue Macaw is a pretty lame name. Reminds of something you might find down on Fisherman's Wharf, next to the Rainforest Cafe.

Wasn't the joint Sidney Greenstreet owned in "Casablanca" called the Blue Parrot?

I'm sad to see 12 Galaxies go away, because of it's affiliation with Frank Chu's sign. But, it reality, it was a gross beer hall for young hipster (whatever that means) kids.
