Union street was a nice residential street then with some commercial, it was really nothing like it is today. There were some laundromats, Hardware Stores, antique shops, really a very nice neighborhood but a little different, so we took the building had been a nondescript Contractors Office downstairs and the owners of the buildings residents up stairs, with some borrowed money, we renovated it into the restaurant it is today. Perrys opened quietly that day, enough folks came in to eat and drink to give us a good start and the business grew steadily from there. In october, the San Francisco chronicle published a two page story about perrys and that changed everything, all of a sudden it was so crazy busy, we did not know what to do, in time we figured it out, it was a wild and crazy and fun ride and its still a fun ride. If someone told me that i would be standing before you today 47 years later with perrys having the success i
