Your message^*: Dear friend, The John Barleycorn, one of San Francisco's hidden gems for nearly 40 years, is being forced to leave. The new owner of the property at the building which houses the Barleycorn refuses to discuss any renewal of the lease which expires within months. At issue is not only the continuance of the Barleycorn, a center of the community and an asset to the city as well, but the economic future of the neighborhood of Lower Nob Hill. The Barleycorn, with its cable car benches, church pews from Old St. Mary's and other historic furnishings, is the right size and scale for this neighborhood. Its replacement will be resented, and perhaps shunned, leading to the economic demise of any subsequent business, particularly for an proprietor who turns a blind eye to neighborhood tradition. I firmly believe that a viable, individually owned business that has been an excellent neighbor will be lost for no good reason, resulting eventually in a vacant storefront. A show of strength, interest and loyalty from the neighbors and friends of the Barleycorn can help prevent this.
