one of the greatest san francisco mysteries is the burger king on van ness. how is it still operating—physically, financially? the building is half closed and only has half its windows no matter what they do to repair it. I need a coyote media piece on it
@christa perhaps the same business model as the Quickly near me
@christa dark gods keeping it alive as a vivid visual allegory for the country
@jplebreton this is basically what I just pitched to coyote
@christa https://maps.app.goo.gl/pVT82GxV4YZyNjA88 the degradation visible in GSV from 2026 back to before the pandemic is striking.
@christa across the street from the white house there's a BK that stays beautiful and clean and busy no matter what. the Burger Kingdom of Dorian Gray
@jplebreton yeah wow you're right. I've only been working there since 2024. it's extremely sad. the GSV feels similar to my experience working in other places around the area pre-pandemic then returning after. so much misery
@christa tangentially, I just checked to see if the whiz burger is still open on s. van ness and yay it is
@christa sadly the same can't be said of joe's cable car, where joe ground fresh chuck daily
@secretasianman I never knew about joe's cable car! I thought you meant tony's cable car, which I was excited to share was still around
