Someone is Singing Opera on the Sidewalk

One of my favorite places to walk around in San Francisco is around upper Fillmore and I know that may come off as pretentious or something since its a nicer part of town, but sue me. My parents lived here while they were in dental school and they both had apartments in that area which probably has something to do with my affinity toward it. I was talking with a friend the other day and she said something along the lines of how so many factors play into the reason we like a certain place, it could have been a nice day or we had something else that happened that made us happy and it all sort of translates into that place. Aside from all of that, you hit a point on Fillmore where its like you're going to walk off a cliff the hill gets so steep. There are stairs in the middle of the sidewalk and the most beautiful view of the bay.

My favorite bookshop is near Haight and Ashbury so you have to brave the questionable folk to get to it, but boy is it marvelous. It's called the Booksmith and it's as if they seek to have only the prettiest book covers of all, none of that 'movie based on the book' bullshit.
My friend and I went and explored the Sutro Baths, which used to be bath houses in in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It looks to me like it was essentially a huge building with swimming pools. However, all thats left are the ruins of the pools and some other random structures.

Also guess who got a job, probably a lot of people, but one of them is in fact me. Let's all celebrate!
Things I've noticed about San Francisco so far:
1. Your feet get dirty walking around in flip flops. How, I don't quite understand.
2. Avoid that one church where homeless people pee on the sidewalk.
3. Walking everywhere is fun, makes viewing the beautiful architecture easier.
4. It's not a myth that California people are really into wine.
5. What are seasons?
