Nearby the Leon's Barbecue place still stands vacant and forlorn. The spirit of the proprietor, Leon McHenry lives on through his grandson, described in the sanfranciscopreps.com website thusly: Washington's big-play threat Jamie McHenry will be a focus for the Mission defense on Friday [tomorrow]. Young Jamie is still hot sauce to the Sunset District running all over the Lincoln Mustangs.

Then, just a bit farther down Sloat: John’s Ocean Beach Café May Be Closing After 31 Years - http://sanfrancisco.grubstreet.com/2011/10/johns_ocean_beach_caf_may_be_c.html

As for Doggie Diner, I realize I'm a member of a fairly small group of San Franciscans taking delight in the eradication of the franchise. I thought it a sad day for San Francisco when southern California kitch invaded our city in Doggie Diner garb.
