back in the city
migrating north for the first time since last summer, i finally made it up for rex's dine and vine. or vine and dine. or wine and wine...which is closer to
reality.i caught up with friends i hadn't seen in months, and in some cases years. while there i learned a few things:
1) while things change, more often than not, they remain the same.
2) although sometimes. things change quite a bit.
3) that instead of hearing the use of "frisco" in reference to the city as an earmark of someone from out of town, the locals have started to use frisco, you know to confuse the transplants.
4) i used to scoff at the seemingly excessive valet parking in la. but i have to admit, trying to find a parking spot in the haight for lunch at my favorite hideaway restaurant...i missed it. a lot.
5) most disturbing revelation of all? for the first time i drove into the city, and it didn't feel like home. *sniff*
