DavidPF, thanks anyway. When you are doing that kind of research the smallest clue can lead to the biggest answers.
Does anyone remember the name of the Chinese restaurant on the south side of Market west of Kearney as late as 1987. When I worked in the dark tower at 1 Post I used to go there and to B & M Mei Sing for my Chinese fix. There was a classic cafeteria line with premade dishes and you could order things to be made on request. I believe there was a branch of Holmes Books just around the corner on Kearney.
