Deer Fang has a good observation on immigration and locally-owned businesses in San Francisco. I totally am avoiding Noe Valley now after having a rude shopkeeper talk down to me at Tuggy’s Hardware Shop about buying vacuum bags. Also, I’m really not into the overpriced products up-the-hill from where I live.
I’m all about going down the hill to the cheaper markets and nicer people from where I live in the mission in San Francisco. I live half-way between the gentrified, expensive baby strolling, mom-toting, Noe and the cool Mission.
btw, i got the confirmation of my new visa today. that makes me one visa closer to being a proper immigrant!
That is so great Alex. Welcome to hell
