On Vox: The Regular Haunts

[anildash]

As the most insufferable of his actions while we were contemporaries in high school, the kid who was president of my senior class interrupted his speech during our graduation at regular intervals to serenade us, a capella, with portions of the theme song of Cheers. Yes, the TV show.

I have to confess, I hadn't thought of this in years until today,

I can completely relate to this. I have lived in the Upper Haight area in SF for 11 years and I really appreciate the people and establishments that have been there most of that time. I notice when someone remembers me, and I try to do the same. I see it in other parts of SF too, where if you walk in with the right person, suddenly you have an extended set of friends.

I think in any city where a good amount of the population is transient, many people appreciate familiar faces. Especially the kind of people who want to acknowledge their neighbors.
