<div>Well, Abir opened after remodeling over a month ago... I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned it here. <br/> <br/>I don't like it... all of the laid-back charm is gone, replaced by a sanitized Starbucks feel. I'm really annoyed that the bulletin board is gone - no more local flyers. And the magazine store is gone - replaced by some upscale sake shop. <br/> <br/>Blah. Anyone else have an opinion? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://abir.tribe.net">Café Abir</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>you know what i'm talking about. <br/> <br/>beanbag's finally ben remodelled and is MUCH more feng-shui than it was - and offers free internet - and more of a variety of food. <br/> <br/>abir has MUCH better music (sweeties at beanbag - please turn off that 80s cheese pop) better atmosphere and wordworking. and couches. <br/> <br/>both have beer - abir has more and os open later. <br/> <br/>but i'm not paying to get online anymore baby! <br/> <br/>should we open our own wireless cafe on grove street in between - perhaps inside the puprle cross medi-juana joint? <br/> <br/>what do you cats think?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://abir.tribe.net">Café Abir</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>i heard that recently some laptops have been stolen WHILE PEOPLE ARE USING THEM at cafe's and it happened at abir as well. kids just grab 'em and run. so...be aware and when using a latop, try not to sit next to a door cuz in most cases the ones ganked were right next to the entrance/exit of the cafe.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://abir.tribe.net">Café Abir</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>after a couple of decades in SF and Berk/Oak ... I wanted to say that as opposed to the posts I viewed on the main screen, my attachment to abir is very emotional. as a dear, old friend of mine went through very serious physical illness that led to major depression, we'd meet regularly at abir for coffee and long talks. after struggling with the her issues for a long time, she took her life at 29 years of age. <br/> <br/>while on my personal front, i will never get over this devastation - for much of what we discussed were things such as my own suicide attempts in the past - and, as someone ten years older - a promise that it gets better ... <br/> <br/>my point is (since i seem like some sad person blathering anywhere someone will listen), there are places all over this city that are sacred and special for reasons that go beyond a plate of food, a server, a time when they were out of what you wanted, or the best latte you've ever had in your life. i do not believe we could've had those talk at all in a starbucks, or even rocking java or even reverie on cole street. there's just something about abir that makes it ... deeper and different ... in spite of a bad coffee here or there on occasion. ( a messed up coffee was rare, and the people behind the counter were always nice even when they were busy and distracted.) <br/> <br/>thanks for listening, and thanks to the warm sf weirdness of abir for being there. i might never go back now, and i will probably soon quit this group .... but i'm glad abir has a strong bunch of supporters to keep it alive and vital. thanks to everyone who frequents abir, and thanks to the staff.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://abir.tribe.net">Café Abir</a> - 0 replies </div>
