Hey Ken,
I was on that "Farewell To The Fox" many moons ago under the BAERRA. I think I was still in High School. When they started tearing it down, I was able to get an old candle stick phone and a phone that was set into the wall with a dialer and one of those "Talk & Listen" on the front with a hook for hanging up the receiver. Still have them somewhere. It was painted red.
That was something else sitting almost all the way up in the back and the organ player looked tiny, tiny. Someone told me the organ was moved out to the "Lost Weekend" on Taravel. The guy would ride up on a commute once a week and play it. Wouldn't you know it, the mayor of SF, Diane F passed a law that stated it was "TOO" loud.
And for that, there goes history.
