Tokyo 77

To get to Tokyo 77 you cross Venice Blvd from Bagley to Main St. Walk past the hair salon, the furniture shop, the hardware store and the first alley. At the second alley, turn right and walk along the mural of the farmer's market. When the alley opens up, you'll see a sign that says "We're open." Go inside the "coffee shop" (read: diner) and pick any table you like.

I got the Breakfast Special C -- 2 pancakes and bacon, $2.35 -- tea, $.90, and read Juno & Juliet in the sunlight-through-the-window-with-a-slight-breeze as I ate.

Things confirmed:

• I want to be a Dodgers fan, and listen to their games on the radio.
• One of my first memories of San Francisco is influenced by the opening shot of Full House, and now I can give you Ashely Olsen's address in New York--both strange.
• I appreciate getting what you pay for, and having that value be decent and humanly.
