The feeling of San Francisco
If there’s one thing I love about San Francisco, it’s the views—seems like everywhere I look is filled gorgeous architecture, beautiful scenery, or just something unique. This photo is from my hotel room, where the Apple store glows bright next to Virgin records.
There’s always so much activity, but it’s not over-the-top or stressful. Though I did have the chance of walking through some shady neighborhoods, they’re nothing compared to those of Baltimore—it’s actually a bit refreshing, bringing a bit of familiarity to the west.
I think Robert Hodgin, of the Barbarian Group, said it best in his speech at the 2006 Flash in the Can, “If you’re constantly staring at an environment that doesn’t inspire you…I’d highly recommend you find the energy to pick up and move.” Oddly enough, he was referring to his move to San Francisco as well.
Another great part about SF is the diversity of the neighborhoods. Each part of the city has it’s own feel and identity: the Castro, the Mission, North Beach, Sunset, the Presidio. You can be in one neighborhood and feel worlds away from the one just a few blocks over.
