McDonald's Book Shops Reopens
Although I thought that McDonald's Book Shop had shuttered its doors for good, a report from the Chronicle informs me that the owner was looking for a buyer and renovating the building.
And what atmosphere: "McDonald's, on Turk Street between Market and Taylor, is surrounded by residential hotels, liquor stores and porn shops. Junkies and alcoholics cluster on the sidewalk out front, shouting obscenities at one another and at passers-by." The shop boasts more than a million shabby items for sale in San Franciso's Skid Row.
