When I read that Moose's, the historic haunt of legendary columnist Herb Caen, was turning into an Italian brasserie, I had a bit of a snit. But after stopping by this afternoon, I'm not as worried. Glamixologist Valen West told me she's staying on behind the bar. And the name? "Joey & Eddie's" isn't so bad. The food will be "family style." Family style. A bar named after two guys. You know, in the '30s and '40s, North Beach was known for its queer nightlife. Happy times are here again. (Photo by MyTypewriter.com)
