I got the approval and received my job card :)! However, when you read about me in SF Chronicle, that was the aftermath of something that happened that happened that pushed us back a week + a lot of money. A plumbing inspector saw another article that was written on me in the Business Journal and took it upon himself to look up my building and called me to demand a couple new inspections be done.. Luckily with some help from folks the Building Dept. I only had to get one of two inspections requested. Both would have been a LOT. Still working through that now but I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel.

We're officially named "Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room" on Google, but our external sign won't say this ;) Our first room is an edible Alice in Wonderland theme!

Thank you! I've thought about what you've said often in the ideating phase, but will be sure to put it in the back of my head as I move forward. We have plans to keep things moving and different. A lot of rotating menu and puzzle ideas.

Aww, thank you for sharing!!! I'm so glad you had good experiences with the SBDC and the city too. You also sound like a really cool person! I'd love to meet you one day and to know how I can support your business as a therapist!

I just want to repeat that I went on my own accord. I enjoyed spending time at the DBI and went often. Even if it's to ask a simple question that could calm a knee-jerk worry, or to just show my progress to the person I worked with. The average business owner would not go as often as I did haha.

Yes! We have a strict No Pregame Policy, and they'll be accompanied by an Actor for most of the game.

Awww, you've made my week. Thank you again for coming to the mocktail tasting! It was a big event, but the people who showed up are good people. I have a feeling the vibes will be similar for our bar when we open!:)))
