This is really a little bit.
I am trying hard to blog more.
I am failing.
But I did write this little blurb a few days after I arrived for a two-week visit, late August/earlySeptember.
My friends had told me things had changed in SF since I
lived here two years ago.
They say the new young techies and dot.com success stories
have once again made
San Francisco (economically) more challenging for “the
common people.” Perhaps true. The ultra sleek and modern Google buses
that bring their employees to and from Silicon Valley contrast with the regular
every-day Muni buses. Once
downtrodden Valencia Street is now packed with startup, trendy restaurants to
go with the startup, trendy techies.
On the beautiful San Francisco waterfront, longtime residents are
stirred up about a plan to allow high-rise condominiums to be built and forever
change the city skyline. Down the
road away, near the Marina, the Americas Cup is ongoing. The Bay Bridge reopens this weekend
with its new span and living artwork a light display put together in such a way
that folks on the ground can see it as they look up, but drivers crossing the bridge
cannot – in other words no distractions for drivers.
And food trucks have taken over … with every type of food
imaginable.
I got off the trolley at the Castro and 17th last
stop in San Francisco. What was
waiting for me there was a crème brulee food truck. Only in San Francisco!
