7.31.10

sad goodbye

i’ve resided in san francisco for 5 years and 11 months to the day. i’ve lived a lot, learned some, regretted nothing.
i do know this….
  • take pine st. – the lights are timed
  • go to the left, get to the front
  • the show never really starts at 9
  • summer clothes = parkas and boots. not exaggerating
  • don’t call it frisco, never call it san fran
  • just embrace public nudity, public defecation and public drunkenness, otherwise you’ll never make it
  • no one cares if you smoke that here
  • if he looks like that he’s probably gay.
  • feather boas are articles of clothing
  • no one goes to the marina
  • muni times are approximations
  • it’s sunny at dolores
  • parking is a bloodsport, hazards are a white flag
  • lombard isn’t actually the crookedest
  • the impound lot is on 7th and bryant
  • pride is considered a holiday
  • you may never meet a local
  • the sound of every foghorn
  • a million hilltop views
  • you will leave your heart here.

  2. You can hear the electric buzz of the muni coming from a mile away...and know exactly when to start running to make it. Good luck, Marin! I'm so excited to read of your travels. <3
