I am weirdly saddened by this. I haven't been there in decades but I liked that it was there.

SAN FRANCISCO - Believe it.
Ripley's 'closing in San Francisco 

What we know:

What we don't know:
Pattison did not say exactly why the company is closing at Fisherman's Wharf, or exactly what date the doors will be permanently shuttered.
But he did list the history of the attraction in San Francisco, which has been around for 60 years. 
Built on the foundation of a daily newspaper cartoon in 1918 — still in print today — Ripley’s Believe It or Not! World Entertainment still has more than 100 attractions across nine countrie
 
There are also Ripley’s Aquariums, Hawaiian Falls Waterparks, Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, Guinness World Records attractions, wax museums, traveling shows, miniature golf courses, mirror mazes, and more.

One of my go to spots as a kid. I always had to go there and the magic store that sat beside it.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

Somehow I never went in there. We used to go to the wax museum. I assume that's still there.

Ditto.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
