My first memory was a room above a restaurant and wafting aroma of waffles lulled me back to sleep after cooped up in a Pinto hatchback. Decades later I got a two for one when both my sister and grandmother lived in North beach and the Normandy apartments (9th Folsom area) respectively. Now it’s emptied out rows of unoccupied storefronts. San Francisco has taken a beating. Parts of the city have always been rough “ if you know you know” so you stayed away and walked fast. Buses are not crowded. Once the line at Union to get on the cable car was in the hundreds now 30 or so. The hotel fees are over 50.00 and self valet 68.00. 15 dollar Wi-Fi. I was sad but everything has a comeback and rent control is alive. It’s gonna take some time.
