I've lived in SF for 20+ years and its experiences like this that remind me how lucky we are to be in this wonderful city. <BR/><BR/>Not criticisms, just observations:<BR/><BR/>- There are not very many people in your photographs. For me, more photos like "New age hippie and skull wall art" bring the streets and the neighborhood alive. <BR/><BR/>- Picking up on Jay's observations, there are significant differences between upper and lower Haight St. and these differences reflect one of the most beautiful things San Francisco has to offer - incredible diversity in just a few blocks. Maybe a walk down the hill next time could be a way to show this diversity?<BR/><BR/>Many thanks and keep up the great work!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307745322160354616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26643528.post-12130407412309896122009-04-08T17:49:00.000-07:002009-04-08T17:49:00.000-07:00Great map!

Here's my list: Red Vic Movie Theater, Citrus Cafe, Booksmith, Zia's, Jorge at the shoe repair shop, Gus and Georgia at the Haight Street Market, Blue Front Cafe, the Anarchist Bookstore, Murio's, and Aub Zam Zam! Now you can teach me to make my own map.TSeeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340237947328731960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26643528.post-11819715855117766072009-04-07T16:08:00.000-07:002009-04-07T16:08:00.000-07:00That's quite excellent!

It's interesting getting a sense of time reflected in what's on the map: some of the locations have a history, and they are described with different senses of distance in time--some with a sense of the present, and other with a sense almost like "this is ancient history."<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you'll have this opportunity, but it'd be neat if each year's class created their own map of Haight Ashbury, and then, at some future time, one could layer them on top of each other. It'd show not only change in the objective facts about the area, but also in the subjective points of view about it.Jay Fienberghttp://jayfienberg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26643528.post-35641699287499221252009-04-05T18:12:00.000-07:002009-04-05T18:12:00.000-07:00sweet!sweet!Irina G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13429179128240942021noreply@blogger.com
