I'm coveting the space at 1058 Valencia, at Hill for our potential restaurant venture. It's almost like the site, formerly home of a greasy KFC, is somehow taunting me. I first called the telephone number posted 2 months ago. The site had gone empty, and the number I was calling had a 916 area code. That's the Sacramento or "Suck a Tomato" area if you are in seventh grade or like dorky food jokes. Mr. 916 told me when I called that yes, he was based in Sacramento and was representing a client who would be taking over the space.
I guess things have changed and become even more mysterious because there is now a new sign and number: 415-585-2854. "This mailbox is full," is the message I have gotten every time I've called. If anyone is able to get through and find out if the space is available as well as how much square footage costs, shoot me an email. I may even be able to grant some sort of cooking or food related prize* for this information.
*Prize availability and delivery method are still under consideration.
415-585-2854 = Harris Construction: 186 Nevada Street in Bernal Heights. My guess is they're the contractor who's spiffing up the place for the previous 916 guys client.

Have you seen the craigslist post for this place? they want $5500/month.
I want it to open a gallery/theater space. I cant imagine another restaurant in there as its impossible to wipe away the fast food facade....

Jeff, that is interesting info. I hadn't seen the craigslist posting but haven't been able to do as much research as I'd like regarding the site. Thank you. If you would like me to send you a CozmoCard in the mail, shoot me an email. Cheers.
