1. From Haighteration

    A documentary is being made about the intersection of Oak and Scott Streets.

    The film, titled “Oak and Scott: Pausing at High Speed,” is described as “an urban tale about the changes over the years as seen through street life, community, friendship, bike and car traffic, residents young and old, economic transformation and neighborhood associations… An attempt to sort through the city’s fading memories by documenting a slice of life in this city we love at an intersection we thought we knew so well.”

    My second sublet in San Francisco (not the project) was on Oak and Scott, a purple stucco house shared with 13 other people, half of which were a part of a sex commune in the 60’s. The other half were young Craiglisters, like myself. This was the house where I ran the Panhandle every morning, got my first iPhone, and learned how to bake cookies.

     


  2. John Grant - I Hate This Town

    I love this city but sometimes it feels a little too small

    You know I hate this fucking town
    You cannot even leave your fucking house
    Without running into someone who no longer cares about you
    Somebody who you desperately want to see
    But you know it’s only going to cause more grief
    But there’s nothing left to say
    And he can’t hear you anyway
