Why don't I go to St. Johns more?

First, you have to take this awesome bridge to get there...
Once you're there: hit a $4 flick at the beautiful St. Johns theater
(not to be confused with the McMennamins theater!)
with a before/after drink at SLIMS across the street.
then walk past a bunch of defunct storefronts and barber shop


and get some healthy homestyle grub at PROPER EATS
which also has this cute little co-op in the front:


why not dessert at this funky gelato place?
(...hopefully it will be open next time -
I really liked the looks of this joint!)


....and don't forget to stop inside Pattie's Homeplate Café
just for the sheer insanity of it all.
(note: be prepared to smell like grease when you leave)

more to come on our next visit!
