okay, sdtennisgal, since this thread is completely off the rails:
My favorite part of The City is The Presidio. Always will be. But I love my North Beach hangouts, especially the Washbag, and I'm sad that it's closed. Can only hope for its revival.
And I totally get the status factor about the neighborhood. Fortunately, being raised by an immigrant father, any sense of pretension got knocked outta me, fast.
Now you two have made me horribly homesick.
