With the type of budget most restaurants put into their bathrooms, the blah's un-design was put together and opened in less than six weeks. Tapping into the power of Craigslist, the Blind Lady's interiors consist of the barstools out of El Cajon's longest standing bar, the chairs from the Hard Rock La Jolla, oak flooring from a warehouse in east village, a 1960s Hamm's billboard out of some guys garage in Oregon, shelves and a bar made out of pieces and scraps left behind by the previous owner, mountains of wood out of people's backyards, a cold box from a subway sandwich shop and a host of equipment purchased at auctions. The sum of all these parts is a warm, livable, enjoyable re-vamp of a space that didn't fill our already busting dumps—in fact, some of the interiors came from the dump. Heart & Soul.
