18th and Boston-Now and Then

8/23/2015

Having spent many, many hours at Mercury Lounge (a former DX gas station) it was interesting to see how the 18th and Boston area has changed. I was surprised to see how many buildings are still around from the 1930s-1950s. The red building on the north side of 18th was the former swanky eatery Louisiane Sea Food, which was open from the 1930's to the 1990's. The current home of the Venue Shrine was a Safeway Grocery Store, as was Dalesandro's. Great to see these old buildings being repurposed instead of town down.

The venue shrine was also Smith's Restaurant in the 40s. My great grandparents ran it, my grandpa worked there and they lived in a house next to the 18th Boston fire station, the house was torn down around 2010 2011.
I have post cards and ash trays from Smith's restaurant
