North Beach: It was exactly a year ago that the Washington Square Bar & Grill unexpectedly shuttered on the last day of '07, but little did we know how true our headline would prove. Indeed, despite aims to the contrary, the Washbag never saw any light during 2008. The good news is that the remodel is full swing and there has been significant progress since we last checked in on the onetime Herb Caen haunt back in October. Fall estimates from the new ownership team at Tiernan's had the Washbag reopening as soon as last month, but we'd guess that it's still more than a few weeks off.
