Sprucing up the Neighborhood
Not everyone appreciates it, but we love our neighborhood. How could you not? Off the Grid comes by regularly, there’s an amazing farmers’ market, and occasionally there are sleigh rides outside City Hall! This is the view as we leave in the evenings at the moment:

There’s such a cool and interesting history to this area, from sand dunes to burial grounds to earthquakes, fires, and explosions, and later signing a treaty to form a system for international governance. All those layers of history provide the stage for contradictions of the present day, where high art meets beautiful graffiti murals and lawmakers cross paths with some of society’s neediest. Our neighbors come out each week to shop at the Farmer’s Market and eat lunch in the sun, and this area feels like home to me.

Kowka – thanks for sharing your thoughts. You’re right, it’s a fascinating area. As a newcomer I am really enjoying getting to know it.
Jb – me too! I can’t wait till SFJazz has its very own home.
