I lived in the Cave too in 1989. 37 Clementina. There were about 7 of us living there. That was where I experienced the 89 earthquake.
I walked into the front door listening to the ballgame on my Walkman. Everything started shaking. I didn't realize what was going on until Chris Carlsson from Processed World ran out, yelling, "Major fucking earthquake!"
Outside the door I waited with my housemates. Eventually people came walking off the Bay Bridge offramp that was nearby. They had left their cars up there.
We didn't have power for a week. We were all paranoid, wondering about every crack in the brick whether it had been there before or not.
The landlord evicted us about Jan - Feb of 1990. Processed World moved out. The place burned down sometime later. It's not there anymore.
One of the cool things about that place is it was in the middle of a bunch of overpasses - an enclave between the Embarcadero Freeway and the Transbay Terminal bus ramps. That whole area looks very different without the Embarcadero Freeway there.
