In the fall of 2008, WNP founders Woody LaBounty and David Gallagher asked if I would be interested in writing a series of articles on local history/folklore and thus, Streetwise was born, making its debut as a monthly column in January of 2009. I’m grateful to have been given this opportunity, and also happy that Woody agreed to loan me the column’s name one that he had been using for many of his own WNP articles dating back to the late 1990s.
Now, after 8+ years, the calendar tells me that Streetwise is reaching its 100th column a good time to take a look back to see where we have been.

Light the birthday candles for dear old Stonestown! This is the year that the local shopping center turns 65 and it is also the thirtieth anniversary of its 1987 re-birth as a “Galleria.”
First opened in 1952, Stonestown Mall was the brain-child of the Stoneson Brothers, Henry (1895-1958) and Ellis (1893-1952), who were born in Canada, the sons of Icelandic immigrants. Arriving in San Francisco in the 1920s, they began constructing homes at about the same time as other builders such as Henry Doelger, Ray Galli, and Chris McKeon.

A few months ago, we looked at some long-gone neighborhood businesses whose owners lived among us. Today we look at even more favorite places, including some owned by people or corporations from beyond the Avenues.
Adeline Bake Shop A West Portal fixture (plus downtown locations) for fifty years. Owned by the Lembo family, living nearby on Wawona Street, Adeline had the best Danish pastry in the neighborhood, but their last shop closed in the late 1990s.
Bino s Northwest corner of 32nd Avenue and Noriega Street: Classic tablecloth-style “dinner house” restaurant, operated 1951-1981 by 30th Avenue residents Anita Bino and her husband Louis (formerly of Grison’s).
