So the other photograph is of The Lexington which is still a 7 day a week lesbian bar. That is also why they are facing each other with the One Way signs pointing to each other - they are historical bookends, so to speak. Anyway, thanks again for your support and nice review! all the best kaucyila <i/> Thank you for this clarification I received from artist Kaucyila Brooke:

dear calvin

the lexington is not closed
the boy mechanic looks at current AND past locations of lesbian bars

in this configuration at the queer territories show
I have presented

Titles:
The Elbo Room (formerly Amelias), from The Boy Mechanic/San Francisco
The Lexington, from The Boy Mechanic/San Francisco

in other words the significance of the The Elbo Room is that it used to be
Amelias and there is no ‘formerly’ in the title The Lexington Club

The Elbo Room used to be a lesbian bar or dance club called Amelia’s – it
closed around 1993 or 94 and there was no 7 day a week lesbian bar in San
Francisco until The Lexington was opened in 1998. So the other photograph
is of The Lexington which is still a 7 day a week lesbian bar.

That is also why they are facing each other with the One Way signs pointing
to each other – they are historical bookends, so to speak.

Anyway, thanks again for your support and nice review!

all the best
kaucyila
