cristinaBalduin Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi. My name is Cristina. I'm searching information about 826 Valencia Pirate store in San Francisco. Has anyone ever been there? What kind of stuff can I buy there? Is it cool? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Handed Jill Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Which would be odd, since the store in question is quite nice - it's part of a neighborhood literacy program and the proceeds from the store fund the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Handed Jill Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah, sounds like it. The store is pretty well known in the area, particularly among pirate enthusiasts. This person could maybe be trying to drum up more business by creating a post that might prompt folks to Google the store. What she doesn't realise is that everyone here who could possibly get to that store already knows about it. It's like asking people in Southern California about that Pirates of the Caribbean ride - is it any fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkie McDonough Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I too decided to go to the web site. All I can say is that I hope their store has more stock than their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristinaBalduin Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi, I'm Cristina, this is not spam. I'm an italian Journalist, and I'm writing and article about the 826 Valencia association (a non-profit association that helps children improving their writing skills) and its store, so I'm only trying to find out some direct information. If someone has been there and wants to help me telling his or her opinion about the associacion or the store, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Cristina Hi Cristina, Thank you for the clarification, though one posting would have sufficed. I have friends local to me in Portland, Oregon (about 10 hours north of the store), and in New York, that consider the store a "must visit" stop whenever they travel to the San Francisco bay area. It definitely qualifies as cool. Best regarrrds, Quartermaster James Edited March 21, 2009 by Quartermaster James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that you can "explore" the shop, searching for curious objects in the cupboars, and that there are things like "pirate traps" in the shop (like things that fall down from the ceiling, ecc). Did they tell you anything about that? Bye Cristina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
