Authentic is as authentic does

A little home town pride for the home of STRAND.  The Sharon Building has been standing for 98 years, and we have our architecture, creaks and ghosts to prove it.  About the only thing this article fails to mention is that the Sentinel downstairs is run by Denis Leary, the hardest working guy in San Francisco, who runs the Canteen by night and the Sentinel  by day.  We’re a lucky lot here at the Sharon Building.

Sharon Building stands still as times change
