It is in their nature to be insufficiently patriotic. That is exactly what I have come to expect of Haightians. It is in their nature to be insufficiently patriotic.

I live in the Haight, and two or three blocks away is Cole Valley. Even the people on the streets seem to stick to one neighborhood over another. Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I prefer to dabble all over.. I was just talking about this bizarre tiny division of neighborhoods yesterday.

In other special-to-you-and-me news, I saw somebody moving around in that abandoned corner shop by Precita and Alabama yesterday -- we might get a new sandwich place. Either that, or somebody is hiding out to catch the person who keeps breaking car windows on that side of the park. Don't leave your car there for now! Hey Todd!

That's my blog post about the Illegal Soapbox Derby you linked to above. I also live on Precita (near Shotwell). In any event, thanks so much for answering the Precita question for me... I'd tried to research the origin of the name a few times, but I'd never found an a satisfying explanation. Hey neighbor! That’s my blog post about the Illegal Soapbox Derby you linked to above.
