Went to the BFI *a lot* in the late '70s, but I guess 15 us my limit on schitzengruben and I just moved on.

I'm not sure I've *ever* been. Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter has always been slightly closer for me.

What happened to Gringolet Books, for God’s sake?

They were one of the last holdouts in St. Anthony Main. By 1991, Main Street was pretty much a ghost town.

Penny Peterson and I did a sarcastic tour of the neighborhood about the same time they closed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjvfk1ihZPc

You'd think it would have had to go on forever, if only from the weight of that cash register

The best bottle of wine I ever had was at a restaurant there in 1983 or 84. We were the only ones in a place that could serve 200 (name forgotten). It just happened that 1982 and 83 were spectacular years for white wines and they were cheap until people figured that out.

PS. There was a place there where there was live music. Heard Rio Nido there, for example, more than once, also 1983 or 1984.

Here are three possibilities: Winfield Potter’s, Taiga, and Guadalaharry’s.

Ha! My brother worked at Guadalaharry’s.

Had to be Winfield Potter's. Thx.
