Our man Chuck recently honed in on Little Bird and Passion Café as subjects for columns — the implications of which were generally “this is what happens when you try to gentrify places that don’t want to be gentrified.” This week he changes his tune a bit, delving further into the ‘Loin and discovering, to his great amazement, that places like Hooker’s Sweet Treats, Brenda’s, and Jones are actually doing pretty well. “So there is a market for a high-end foodie experience,” writes Nevius, quoting someone who calls it the “new Mission.” He further adds, “We may have finally hit on some effective agents of change.” Aww. When Nevius sounds this optimistic, you just know summer’s really in the air. [Chron]
