Trying again

Well, that was messed up. Let me repeat that last paragraph.

I wrote about the 17 Reasons sign the other day. Today I was driving down Mason St. and saw that the Chez Paree has been closed and their great sign -- the upraised leg of a Can-Can dancer -- has been taken down. I wasn't surprised, since I'd seen the SF Chronicle's article about nearby Glide Church buying the property and planning to close it. The Chez Paree, which was a true clip joint -- $20 cover, plus you have to buy a high-priced, crappy drink -- was a dive of a strip bar. But I'll miss the sign. I'd love to know who got it.
