  1. The Roxie used to be a strip club back in the 60’s. I went to Mission Dolores Boys School back then and the nuns warned us to walk on the other side of the street.

      1. Called “a near occasion of sun” you’re supposed to stay away. The Victoria was also a Burlesque house back in the day, supposedly the age of Aquarius with the sexual revolution spelled the end of paid sex. Just ask the residents of nearby Capp Street!!

  3. Used to pop into the Roxie just to buy some popcorn, and then head over to the ‘watt to catch a game. Good times… 😇
