Just read a message from Mia that as of April 1, Ace Cafe San Francisco is to go non-smoking. They've gotten permits for sidewalk tables, and they'll soon start serving lunch so the city wanted them to curtail the smoking inside the bar. I'm no smoking nazi, but I think this'll be a very good thing. Watching racing will be much nicer when you can get out of there without your clothes smelling like an ashtray

Of course, if you *want* your clothes to smell like an ashtray, that too can be arranged.

Hell if I had known I could smoke in there, I would've actually gone.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully soon the designated smoking area for the west coast will be in Mexico.

I like to load up on my vices...if I'm drinking it only seems natural to whip out a smoke too.  But, hey, I can go either way.

...or right outside the bar, at the sidewalk tables.

I don't mind smoking in most cases. At Zeitgeist, which is open-air, it's not a problem. But in a place like Ace Cafe the ventilation doesn't clear it out, and the place becomes pretty nasty. Food tastes worse, and you come out of there smelling foul. I keep having to ask myself whether I want to go there or to the D-Store to watch a race, given the smoke.

That's good news.Do they show the Sunday races(WSB & Moto GP)?

Yep. And Dakar. And Isle of Man. And SBK & GP Practice & Qualifying. And did I mention it's just steps from my front door? I love this neighborhood
