Mission Bay Golf Resort, Mission Bay
Also has a tiny, old-school, charming little miniature golf course
You see, I’m a terrible golfer. But I think the old-school miniature course is cute in a very “shabby chic” sort of way.

over 6 years agoOn InsiderPages (http://www.insiderpages.com/b/3722069205), someone named “Cindy N” wrote a real hatchet job about this place, claiming they had met the owner and that he had gotten upset when they had spent all their time writing prices down, without planning to buy anything.
Pretty clear that this person doesn’t buy out of print or antiquarian books, and is just looking for a cheap buy. This is really sad considering that this is one of the only good places to find rare, used books, other than something like Murder by the Book.
It sort of symbolizes what small businesses have to cope with, in terms of competition with the internet. Too bad – you get totally different experiences in both places. That’s why 43 places is cool – it’s online but encourages people to go places in person.
