Which brought me to Googling Cork 'n' Bottle which brought this article to my attention which I thought TK would like!<br />http://www.mocavo.com/Noe-Valley-Voice-No-1-February-1982-Volume-6/933602/8<br /><br />Forty fuckin Niners indeed.lucydeecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405316552353667287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-35985294420635649212014-10-13T09:40:04.330-07:002014-10-13T09:40:04.330-07:00Oh, but of course that avatar doesn't display ...Oh, but of course that avatar doesn't display here, so now I just sound like a crazy person.

I can't remember if it was Deco, then Jack's Deco, or Jack's Deco, then Deco.<br /><br />Jess would disagree with you on the name Soda Popinksi's, as she's a fan of Soda Popinski, a character from a video game of her youth - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.

I remember going to Jack's Taps. It's kind of odd, in hindsight, that I hung out in Noe Valley on occasion when I was in my 20s.
