Labor Day Is (Still) Real Foods Day in Noe Valley

Labor Day 2010

It's Labor Day, which means you can always expect to see something posted  at the the blighted closed Real Foods space on 24th Street. Today, there were several printouts of articles and comments from around the blogosphere including this one from this blog and this one from SF Appeal … and a sheet to add more comments under each on the storefront. It was an attention getter - lots of people stopped to read.

The signs were up during the farmer's market and gone without a trace by 2PM. Is someone actually keeping tabs on the Real Foods space that closely? And is that a good sign or … ?
