Whatever nervousness I was feeling after learning that SF was a lot smaller than I'd previously thought was quickly washed away when I arrived at my temporary home. Check this place out! My good friends Alysha (who I met working at ModemMedia back in '98) and her awesome boyfriend Brian were in Paris for a month and graciously invited me to crash at their place while I apartment hunted.
Their street is only a block long and is one of those crazy-ass 45 degree angled streets that the city is famous for. Here's the pic I took from their porch while daydreaming about the buns of steel I'd soon be developing by walking around their neighborhood.
