NORTH BEACH - The shuttered Washbag's new life as Bottle Cap will begin tomorrow with a soft-launch of dinner service. Bar manager Pete Gowdy says the soft-launch period will last though Saturday.

GUERNEVILLE - The owner of boon eat + drink is one of the folks behind Big Bottom Market, slated to open up this month on Main Street.
