We love the live performances put on by the Buddy Club.  The exhibits are also terrific.  This is very close to the house - either a long walk or a short ride.

Here it is.  A cab or limo ride takes about 10 minutes.  The N Judah also stops close by (it is the Civic Center stop).  This is off Van Ness.
