Just had to check



2 beds 1 bath 660 sqft

Rent Zestimate®: $3,350 /mo

OFF MARKET
Zestimate®: $777,150 ... and it isn't even on a piece of land. You still have to pay docking fees every month.

I mispent a good portion of my younger days in THE CITY. Hanging in the Haight turning on, tuning in, and dropping out. Those were the days I thought would never end but of course they did. Great times going to free concerts in Golden Gate park. Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company to name but a few.

In between all the happenings just chillin out fishing off one of the many docks the city has. The City has changed but still has a special place in my heart.

resented me having a fag on the verandah!

Note for San Fransiscans- I meant 'fag' purely from the British English etymology. OK?

Earl "Speedo" Sims and his wife Betty were friends of mine in Georgia. While they were in San Franciso, they gave me a call and came out to Sausalito to visit. Speedo pointed out the houseboats behind the heliport as where they lived when Otis wrote this song.

Maybe I should get in touch with the writer of this item!

Is Union square still full of hobo's & beggars TC?

A few here and there, yes...but many more ragtag musicians performing after dark...lively night time movement around the square adds up to an entertaining urban scene...

Is the Tenderloin still sleazy?

as ever...looks like denizens are resisting attempts by Salvation Army and city burghers to prevent pissing on city walls...more sordid and depressing than interesting...

Have a great time, and congratulations on your Honeymoon.

many thanks...

my opinion exactly...love every piss-soaked brick of the place...

nobody cares anymore...nigger still raises a few hackles, however: sensitive negroes haven't outgrown straight white hate yet...

Too 'in yer face' gays

My GF's flatmate even resented me having a fag on the verandah!

Uber'd down to Cupertino for a bbq with SD's old school chums today: beautiful weather, excellent crowd...most folks were highly educated Asian engineers (with husbands and wives) working at Apple, WhatsApp, Google, etc...not at all the staid automatons one might have expected...unfortunately, supermarket wine ("improved" with a wine aerator) predominated...still, lots of unexpected laughs amid very good company...

[Dillinger]

Wheres the piccies?

[misskit]

What's SD stand for?

[Dillinger]

Short dick?

What's SD stand for?

sugar daddy. Maybe.

Strontium Dog, I've often wondered where he went.

Are you surprised? I am sure the wine was accompanied by the Costco appetizers.

What's SD stand for?

SD is my spouse. When we were dating, he frequently insisted on paying for meals and thus the nickname.

Are you surprised?

Well, these are folks that have lived in California for much of their lives and serve wine regularly at get-togethers...so, yes, mildly surprised. I brought a bottle of Silver Oak (2012) that was quickly recognized and consumed so it's not taste that was lacking...

SF, good times indeed

wondered how much it has changed since I lived there,

probably too much to go back there

The 2012 is a little soft for my own tastes. Tastes good but lacks edge.

Lunch today at La Mer Cevicherria: excellent meal of ceviche with various sauces, grilled tuna/greens salad, and a seafood frito misto on the deck behind the restaurant...enjoyed a drinkable merlot before heading off to a local wine bar at the nearby Ferry Building for a wine/cheese tasting...back at the St Francis in time for cocktail hour and the strains of 70s hits from the street through the open window...bliss...

The wine snobs have arrive.


Lovely.
