Nearby the Leon's Barbecue place still stands vacant and forlorn. The spirit of the proprietor, Leon McHenry lives on through his grandson, described in the sanfranciscopreps.com website thusly: Washington's big-play threat Jamie McHenry will be a focus for the Mission defense on Friday [tomorrow]. Young Jamie is still hot sauce to the Sunset District running all over the Lincoln Mustangs. http://www.sanfranpreps.com/2011/10/27/football-game-of-the-week-mission-and-washington-vie-for-first-place/
