Welcome

A bit of my life in San Francisco. I've been here half my life, yet still find the city exciting and challenging.

Hjir sjochsto myn libben troch de fototastellins thús yn San Fransisko. Neat bysûnder, neat bûtengewoan. Lykas it is. Kalifornje hat my thús mear as 25 jier west. Hja bliuwt noch in heimsinnich geast. Ek wol ik jimme sjen litten mear fan de wyk, mei de pleatslikke ynwenners en treasors. Tige tank foar it besyk. Graach in boadskip skriuwe. Ik sil myn bêst dwaan jimme te antwurdzje. Dit doch ik út 'e grap....

Two Women You Should Know.....Twa Froulju jimme foartestelle



Diane retired from career in health care to a become a non-stop volunteer in service to the community. She maintains the Pink Triangle Memorial Park and is a force in the Castro. The park pays homage to the more than 15,000 homosexual victims during the Nazi Holocaust. Involved in many projects in the area, she is a wonderful resource of San Francisco history and gay rights history in particular.



Solange is the proprietor of the Cove on Castro, a neighborhood institution for a generation. The restaurant is a favorite gathering spot and is jam packed on weekends for brunch. For many years the walls were lined with 8x10 photos of locals. Currently a more streamlined look has the photos flashing on large video screens, still connecting the restaurant with the community.
