Stow Lake Boathouse and Snack Bar May Close

Historical preservationists have a new cause to champion in addition to the Tonga Room. It seems the snack bar and boathouse near Stow Lake is in danger of closing, and the San Francisco Bay Area Postcard Club is rushing to its rescue. The Chron’s Leah Garchik notes today that the snack bar was one of the first places in the city to sell Coca Cola and It’s-Its, and is now one of only two places to get pink popcorn. The city apparently wants to overhaul it into a sit-down casual restaurant. Much as we love sit-down casual restaurants, we’re with the Postcard Society on this one. You’ve got to fight for your right to pink popcorn. [Via SF Chronicle]

Update:@teemoney415 points out you can get pink popcorn at the zoo and at Wishbone on Irving Street.
