As you may know if you have received Roy's note: the original ITC on Powell Street is closing at the end of the year. This is very sad for me personally, since I so enjoy sitting with a pot in that wonderful atmosphere. The slow traffic at that edge of Chinatown seems to have taken a financial toll. Roy said he is keeping the other two shops (Embarcadero and Berkeley) open; but, it won't be the same........ Shen
