The current business of the mystery place is Vy's Jewelry, according to the following.

The green door's still there, too. Now before all the Einstein's and Sherlock Holmes' out there correct me, I know the address is incorrect (it should -- actually, should it? -- be 542 -- the address of the mystery place), and that Vy's Jewelry should be in the boutique (the boutique at 544 in the mystery photo), but compare it with the photo. Vy's looks like it could very easily be the mystery place! Once again, the green door and even some green paint on parts of the exterior are still there.

Whether there was food served there or not, the area to the right of the mystery place is
a separate building altogether -- hence no expansion, no torn down wall. The boutique in the mystery photo is also in a separate building. Basically speaking, the mystery bar or whatever it is, is the sole business on this side of the building, below apartments above.

Aren't there any TC'ers in San Francisco who can take a trip over there, go inside, talk to the owners and maybe find some information about the previous businesses that occupied the location? Bloody hell, if I lived in SF I'd have done it as soon as we found out the city and street location! If so, bring in a copy of the mystery photo, too. I'm sure the owners and employees -- assuming they aren't one in the same -- would find the photo most amusing.
