Very few things scare the shit out of me. And virtually all of them hang out in Mid-Market.

I pop out of a cab on 7th Street, a block from SF’s city-splitting artery. Walking toward me is one of those shit-scaring things: a 50-ish, spastically flailing dude who’s screaming, alternatingly, “Kill! Fuck! Kill! Fuck! Kill! Fuck!” Luckily, he does neither of these to me as I slide past him and across Market to the flatiron-shaped Renoir Hotel.

Built in 1909, the 130-room Renoir is seven stories of historical awesome. It has brick exteriors, ornate columns, and gilded elevator doors that belie what has, for almost two years, been a mostly-vacant, entirely-scary ground floor filled with boarded-up storefronts, a sorta strip club, and – a 50-ish, spastically flailing dude who screams, alternatingly, “Kill! Fuck!”

But not this week. This week is grand opening week for A Temporary Offering.
