We finally moved to the City. We found a large studio in the Tenderloin. Sure, it's grungy and shady, but it's also extremely diverse, charming, and historic. The area we live in is called Little Saigon, so there are many Vietnamese restaurants and businesses around us. We are two blocks away from the Polk Gulch, which is the original gay neighborhood in San Francisco. Union Square is just a few blocks in the other direction, where all the department stores are. We are pretty much in the center of everything worth doing in the City. Mission is about a 40 minute walk or a 10 minute BART ride.
The building is 83 years old, with bay windows, hardwood floors, and a sleeping loft. Maurice is not a big fan of the hardwood floors or the sleeping loft. He can't reach our bed now and cries everytime Adam and I get on the bed. We have to carry him on there at night and drag him off in the morning. He's also not used to all the urban noises and people outside.
