SOMA I Will Miss Thee...

For all of you non San Franciscans, SOMA = South of Market. Former ghetto (so I am told) present home to plethora of young professional types with disposable incomes and penchant for swanky lounges and expensive food. Should you happen to visit, you will soon notice the invisible line, otherwise known as east of 4th Street, dividing the "really shady SOMA" - the part with the highest concentration of sex offenders in the city (a little fact that kept me up some nights studying the amber alert website when I first moved here) from previously mentioned yuppie SOMA.

A little strange at first, but I soon got used to the hobos sleeping across my front door and pushing their Safeway carts in front of Coco 500. Just as I got used to every other person here walking a 5lb dog, waiting for it to defecate on the sparkly (I kid not, the concrete here sparkles) sidewalks. Ahhh SOMA...
