They say, that Ike's Place, has been a victim of its own success!
Daily, tourists and locals swarm the little hole-in-the wall fast-food take-out joint on Castro Street to snap up a tasty sandwhich - built from the bottom up at a reasonable price - and piled high with all the fixin's and trimmin's.
At a time when restaaurant owners have been struggling to keep their independent businesses open, Ike's has continued to lure a continous stream of hungry patrons to his humble establishment non-stop.
Unfortunately, neighbors and shopkeepers flanking Ike's - grew weary of side-stepping long lines in the street and having to turn up their noses to avoid being assailed by the unpleasant odor of trash that was allegedly overflowing from garbage bins.
So, action was taken to evict Ike's.
Today, when the Sheriff's turned up to turf out Ike - though - a legal snafu prevented the Sheriff from proceeding with the eviction process.
According to employees, the legal documents incorretly named the parties, so the men-in-blue were barred from carrying out the distasteful task.
So, Ike's remained open today, as litigants scrambled to dot their i's and cross their t's.
Meanwhile, an attorney for Ike's noted for the record, they intend to have their day in court.
Until then, the hash will be slung, slabs of delicious bread will be swathed in thick butter, and a gaggle of hungry mouths will be satiated with the mouth-watering sandwhichs in the Castro District.
"They have 150 sandwich varieties," beamed one regular who looked liked he had scoffed down a few.
Who says you can't fight City Hall!
I'm rooting for the underdog and free enterprise.
How 'bout you?
Tasty!
