Artist Richard L. Perri is widely-known for his large-format nostalgic paintings of some of San Francisco’s best loved coffee houses, affectionately referred to as ‘Java Huts’. These structures invite viewers to travel back into a remembered time of bustling activity along the waterfront as these joints teemed with rollicking blue collar longshoremen and roustabouts. They evoke a simpler time, a time of Detroit iron, rotary telephones and blue plate specials. Incorporating these solitary images as landmarks that are disappearing from the SF landscape characterizes the plight of the homeless who also were viable, contributing and productive individuals who too are forgotten and forlorn by the masses and are left alone with “NOPLACETOGO”.
