Still one of the best pop songs ever, not to mention one of the more definitive examples of the soundtrack of my life during my first year or two in San Francisco.

On 29 April 1993, Interstate 280 between Mariposa Street and US 101 reopened, if in a somewhat limited capacity, following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake:

The South of Market area was a pleasant enough place to drink (or debauch) for much of the 1990s, particularly if you were a Sodomite looking for a scene that was a little less antiseptic and generic than the Castro. Following ten years of AIDS paranoia in the 1980s, the final decade of the twentieth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
My first job in San Francisco was at a Kinko&#8217;s location adjacent to Stonestown Mall in the Sunset District.  I&#8217;d transferred there from my old store in North Carolina, and it seemed a good way to get on my feet. Working in the Sunset also gave me a perspective on San Francisco not experienced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
As we move farther and farther into the internet age, the idea of a pornography store in general is beginning to sound just a bit anachronistic. Le Salon on Polk Street, though, was the pornography store to end all pornography stores. I&#8217;ve never seen anything comparable, before or since.

		<description><![CDATA[I arrived in San Francisco on a Monday afternoon, a week after I&#8217;d left my family and most of my friends back in North Carolina. It was my first cross-country drive, and the first time I&#8217;d seen much of anything between the Appalachians and the Sierra Nevada. My friends had been amazed that I would [...]]]></description>

I vaguely remember meeting one of the members of King Missile on New Year&#8217;s Eve, 1993. I think it was at the Lone Star. I&#8217;m not sure, because I was exceedingly drunk that night, as was my customary practice at the time.

I&#8217;ve always been nostalgic about San Francisco.
I don&#8217;t mean that I&#8217;m nostalgic about it now that I no longer live there, nor that I &#8220;miss&#8221; it, per se. Actually, I was even nostalgic about San Francisco when I was still a resident. I was nostalgic for a San Francisco I never got to see, one [...]]]></description>
