At least, that's the headline from Grub Street, which goes on to report that the bar's (at 3088 24th Street, between Lucky and Treat) liquor license changed hands today and “will likely close for a hipster makeover in the coming months.”

Some more details over at Mission Local - http://missionlocal.org/2012/05/el-delfin-restaurant-up-for-sale/
“A few doors down from El Delfin, another long-time 24th Street business, El Mexicano bar, was just sold. Three business partners bought the space and plan on turning it into a bar and grill.”
Anyone know what’s going on with that Parrot store on 24th between Shotwell and Van Ness with the yellow awning? They took all the birds out last week, and this week all the windows have been taped up with cardboard/paper.
Many Latino owned businesses and properties in the neighborhood are going to be sold for nice profits if the current trend continues.
Three edgy naming concepts for the new concept – they just sprang into my head unannounced. Even my dentifrice didn’t see these coming:
CORONA – its a beer garden.
MEXICANO – an ironic reference to the short lived and largely dull period during which the Irish-descended didn’t dominate the Mission.
BALD GRINGO – Assuming the upcoming merger of Wise Sons & Dear Mom doesn’t get their 1st with “GAY DADS” but they told me that’s already taken for the new place next to LIME (which is about to be renamed “MOM’S”, across the street from “STROLLER RINK.” their new $60/hour stroller/skating emporium planned for the former car encroachment area once referred to as Market Street at Castro.
Next?
