About this Blog
I live in the Sunset, grew up in the Sunset, and have lived all but three years of my life in the Sunset and Parkside.
I love the homes out here, inside and out. The way the pastel colors look in the fog, how every home in a seemingly identical row has its own little quirks.
I walk around the neighborhood a lot and found I was asking myself things like "is that the only house with that medallion?" or "I wonder when that addition was built?" or "What were they thinking?". So I started taking photos to keep a record of the little details now in abundance that one day may be gone.

I think we'll see a lot more strangely painted cars now that nobody can afford to buy a new one...
I remember painting the hood (bonnet) of one of my Volkswagens gold... I made it into sort of an arrow -- I think it looked pretty sharp, but doubt if it was much of a chick-magnet...
Nice. Good stuff!
First off, I want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog and your interesting "take" of the Sunset District. Please keep it up!
Also, I couldn't help but think of this particular post when a friend of mine who lives in the Protero Hill District told me that SF BMW (where her X5 SUV is being serviced with transmission issues) told her that SF is an "extreme driving example". Her response, "For an SUV"?
Look at these vehicles. If they can make it in SF, surely a BMW X5 can!
Hi Everyone!
Don - I thought I had left a comment here about fond memories of the handles on old VW's. Hmm.
Al-Pal - Thanks for stopping by even though I haven't been posting much.
Betty - S.F. has extreme driving, that's funny. I guess it is all in perspective. Growing up here hills seem natural although my first car was very tiny and some hills seemed almost impossible.
