beyond the fountain and between the glass

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I always wondered what the story was behind throwing change in a fountain and making a wish. Is there an old fairy tale of which I am unaware? The strangest part is that as a child, I followed suit by way of social norms just like everyone else. But when did it get beyond the […]

Yeah I saw where the Tanner’s lived…just kidding. But I did take a picture of the “Painted Ladies” at Alamo Square. But before that we walked around Haight-Ashbury. The beat movement made it’s debut on the west coast in Haight-Ashbury during the time that Allen Ginsberg moved to San Francisco in the 50’s. Today it […]
