Coming Soon: Noe Valley Smiles & Braces

If you were looking forward to a Jewish deli, Crunch Fitness or a Michelin-starred restaurant you're outta luck. The combined spaces at 3930-3934 24th St (formerly housing GNC Nutrition and Noe Valley Video) will be a dentist. For children, of course.

Sue Bowie Joins Alain Pinel, Sells Out 24th St Retail

Sue Bowie, circa 1985

We were disappointed to learn that the old Phoenix Books location was/is becoming yet another waste of space - again in the form of a realtor's office. But then today we received a postcard announcing that Sue Bowie has joined forces with Alain Pinel:

Alain Pinel welcomes Sue Bowie to its gallery of Real Estate Professionals. Sue continues her 24 year tradition of providing the same excellent service to her clients in Noe Valley, now teamed with the most sophisticated and technologically advanced real estate firm, specializing in the marketing of distinctive properties and estates.

Sue Bowie is a great resource and not only specializes in Noe Valley but All of San Francisco, including Eureka Valley, Bernal Heights and Glen Park.

It all makes sense, though, when you factor in that Sue Bowie owns the building at 3850 24th St where Alain Pinel will soon open.

Announced: Circle Bank Coming To Noe Valley

Circle Bank, a Novato-based firm specializing in fractional TIC mortgages, is going to open a full-service branch in Noe because, well, "The demographics of Noe Valley are similar to those of Marin County." They haven't announced which space, but we're thinking in the GNC/Noe Valley Video/Aveda strip. Right next door to Wells Fargo in the short-lived AAA space would work, too.

Update (8/31): Good snark.
