Life , San Francisco : San Francisco Bound
So, barring all unforeseen, Anne and I will be moving to San Francisco by the end of September. We found an apartment in the South Beach area (a recently gentrified part of town near AT&T Baseball Park). Within a block of the apartment is a CalTrain (commuter rail) station, a MUNI (SF subway) station, a Safeway grocery store, a Borders book store, a branch of the public library, and numerous eateries.
I know the neighborhood fairly well since I spent a year commuting from Mountain View to my employer’s San Francisco office and often took CalTrain to MUNI to work and so spent time in the area (sometimes stopping to shop or eat on the way home). The plan is to work 3-4 days a week out of the San Francisco office (it will take me about 15 minutes to get to the office from the new apartment), and 1-2 days at the Mountain View office (about a 45 minutes to drive, although if I can get back into bicycling shape, I might take CalTrain down and bike from the train station to work – a little over 2 miles).
With this post I have also inaugurated a new category of posts on this blog: “San Francisco” which I will use to post comments on things that Anne and I discover in the city – shops, restaurants, odd museums, parks and the like – as well as observations on city life. Not sure how often I’ll post on things like that; but I expect there will be some things worth saying. Certainly exploring the city is going to be one of the things consuming my attention and I have always intended this blog to reflect what I am thinking about.
