Noe Valley
Every Sunday, assuming the weather is clear, I take a bus ride to a random San Franscisco neighborhood and take a long walk around. Today I got on the 24 Divisadero and headed south toward Bayview, getting off at 24th street and Castro. From there I choose the steepest hill and went up, down, around, and even managed to slip down a steep hill and get myself covered in mud.
About halfway through my journey, I came across this gem:
Someone else seems to have problems with people urinating near their doorstep. If you click on the image, you can see some sort of green substance growing on the sidewalk. I don’t even want to think of what might cause that.
I think that my third place in the city will be in Noe Valley. It is really a nice area, with good transit too. The top of the hill had really breath-taking views, though the sound of the 101 echos all the way up to the hills, which is sort of upsetting. You can view the area I walked around in by visiting my Noe Valley photo stream.
I’m still looking for my Duboce Triangle or Valencia dream apartment at the moment, since I have only 115 more days left on my lease, and I’m itching to move closer to Bart as well as some sort of cultural center.
