Seems fitting that after yesterday's post about one of my favorite parks in New York, that I follow up with today's photos straight from Alamo Square in San Francisco. When I trekked to the city nearly 5 years ago, I moved into a little corner studio, with two sets of bay windows on the fifth floor, just a few blocks away from Alamo Square. And man, did I love that studio.
Most weekends I would spend walking up to this very park, blanket in tow, and plopping down to read magazines and books, while folks gather in front of the Full House house for photos. (I've since been told that the actual Full House house is not one of the Painted Ladies, but I kinda refuse to believe that -- I'd rather keep the magic alive!)
Granted, I currently don't live all that far from Alamo Square anymore and will often head there with Elvis when I have a chance so he can play with some of the other neighborhood dogs (mainly the pugs). But every time I come back, I'm hit with a mini wave of nostalgia that only this pocket of the city really gives me. Probably because so much of my formative, "I'm on my own" years were spent roaming around Hayes Valley and this very park -- sitting, thinking about work or whatever problems I was facing at the time, starting new friendships and relationships,and enjoying my new life in a city that excited (and still excites!) me.
Oh San Francisco, I truly will leave a part of my heart here.
ahh your pup is so CUTE!!! good luck on your move to NY!

I was just visiting my friend who lives right across from Alamo Square not too long ago! It's such a lovely park and I spent a bit of time out there on my own relaxing and basking in the sun.

Not sure if you are a blogger that responds to comments, but I would love to know how you made your decision to make such an important move. I find myself wanting to relocate but not sure how to do it.

I love the narrative in this post. There is no feeling quite like looking back on the nostalgia of your first big city experience, and visit all the spots that trigger those memories. I love your poochy too - he must be a corgi mix?

my name is violet my husband is jasper i have a word to all my viewers in the world After being in relationship with jasper for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email:drakugbespellhome@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS:drakugbespellhome@gmail.com CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEM or call via +2347061824880
