First as a little girl and then later it was a great place to go after concerts. I loved the Wall Art, the burgers and yes when the Guacamoles were in season. We Miss You, Hippo! Thanks for bringing back the memories. I have been to the Hippo many, many times! First as a little girl and then later it was a great place to go after concerts.

And of course I'd have to order the Viagra. Not only do I salivate at the combination of bleu cheese and bacon, but it would be fun to do. Scarlett, that sounds wonderful.

There was one place in Noe Valley area in the early 80's we used to go for great burgers, but the name has long since left me. Twistie,

Sorry for the confusion! I should have either noted that or used a less minimalist notation. Chaser, it's nice to know someone else remembers.
