Then and Now

‘Then and Now’: Ninth Avenue and Irving Street

Above: Mac’s Place, The Stein, circa 1973. This postcard image shows the Stein Bar on the southeast corner of Ninth Avenue and Irving Street. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.

Below: Sutro Tower still looks down upon the City. The N-Judah has a more modern look compared to the green streetcars of old. The building on the corner that used to house a Jamba Juice is slated to be home to a Berkeley-based casual French restaurant Grégoire. The eatery is famous for its crispy chicken sandwiches and fried potato puffs. It is scheduled to open this fall. Photo by Michael Durand.
