A travel agency founded by gay men that’s been in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood for almost 30 years is being evicted. The fate of Now, Voyager, at 4408 18th Street, comes just over a year after the apparent suicide of founder Jonathan Klein, 61, and the departure of co-founder Peter Greene, 59, who’s been running the business.
Greene thinks the landlord, Chandra Maniedeo, wants him out so she can raise the rent. But Maniedeo said Greene had expressed doubts about the survival of his business, and she wants stability in the space.
The 60-day eviction notice was given on April 15 to Klein’s estate. Klein left Now, Voyager to Greene in his will, but the probate process hasn’t ended, so Klein’s estate still owns the business.
