What Should Live Here?

The Weisbrod Building at San Pablo and University has housed many businesses over the years. What would you like to see there now?

Five years ago its owner drew bricbats for allowing the building to become a blight. Boarded up, its Moorish windows covered over, it became a magnet for gang graffiti.

The Weisbrod Building at 2001 San Pablo Avenue was designed by Spivek and Spivek in 1930, and recieved official designation by the city as a Structure of Merit in 1985. 

Now that it has been restored -- and we hear tell architect Jim Novosel isn't finished yet -- the building is ready for a new occupant.

Who would be an ideal tenant for a 1,800-square-foot space on the heavily trafficked corner of San Pablo and University avenues? A dance studio? An art gallery?

Absolutely no chain stores or real estate developers. What will the rent per sq ft be, I wonder?

I could blame those cut-ups, typographers in the basement typing onto big circular steel plates
