Women’s Bars, Bookshops, Baths

We recently received an email from Joel Pomerantz of Thinkwalks who recalled this memory of the neighborhood…

“Valencia Street was, as far as I know, the only (or first??) business district anywhere that was ever noticeably oriented toward what I’d call women-identified non-heterosexual culture, especially focused on lesbian community culture. Artemis cafe, Old Wives’ Tales bookshop, Osento baths, various art shops, the Women’s Building and the Lexington Club. Only the last two are still open.”

Thanks Joel for sharing your observation. We will definitely find a way to represent this in Your Store.
