The downstairs bar felt like a British or New England college clubhouse, and the upstairs loft space was filled with guitars, records, and old Macintoshes. There was nothing else like it in Tokyo. Now it's gone forever.

@wdavidmarx The bike outside was a work of art all by itself

@vladsavov Indeed

@wdavidmarx It’s sad to see loosing these monumental buildings…

@wdavidmarx @fromedome That’s a shame.

@wdavidmarx The bathroom was called the “John Ueno”. Truth.

@wdavidmarx That is a real shame.

@wdavidmarx wow that is such a shame that's gone now... would've been nice if someone had scanned the entire interior in 3D with a lidar scanner to keep it virtual at least!

@wdavidmarx this is so sad

@wdavidmarx @Mvetustissima Nothing lasts forever, yet my heart is breaking …

@wdavidmarx Remember that place and saw the empty plot the other week, when I was wandering from Inaricho through to Satake. Shame.

@wdavidmarx Thanks for sharing this. Japan is losing good things without considering what we should preserve.

@wdavidmarx In another country that would be a heritage listed building

@wdavidmarx Watch out with that kind of rhetoric, you'll attract Gearoid's ire How dare you, white man, ask for protection of historical buildings and deny Tokyo the right to build another shopping mall??

@wdavidmarx What a loss!

@wdavidmarx Ugh.

@wdavidmarx I feel sorry very much!

@wdavidmarx Architecture sure has gotten boring. Any architects out there actually enjoy their job?

@wdavidmarx @mrjeffu Waiting for a certain Bloomberg journalist to comment that this is progress and improvement.

@wdavidmarx I’m sorry to hear that …
