Aidan San Francisco — 1986 Fireworks and Visions

A developer has purchased a row of buildings in front of Aidan’s. It is a long swath of land extending all the way to the bay. He intends to build a row of luxury apartments that will change the face of the city, reinvent the Tenderloin and make him famous. He’s already rich; if he wasn’t, he could never have purchased this much land in San Francisco. But even not taking into account his contacts and connections, his inheritance and ingenuity, this project has been visited by good fortune. Opportunity has fallen into his hands freely as raindrops. All of the buildings he wanted have come up for sale, all except for Aidan’s.
