Where I'm From

I took Nico to Excelsior Park while we were in S.F. I did tiny tots,had my first playground brawl and swung on many a swing here. This neighborhood is one of the last bastions of the San Francisco native. It is ripe with authentic city characters and sometimes strife. I grew up on Edinburgh street between Persia and Brazil. I always got a laugh out of the irony of those exotic coordinates. I spent a lot of my youth figuring out how to get out of this neighborhood, and now that I "made it out" I spend time appreciating it and thanking it for making me who I am today.
