Just a few photos I discovered on my hard drive in a folder called Scans (to be sorted). Looks like most of them are from 1988-89.

* In 1987, I just got back from living in Germany for two years and was now stationed in Wichita Falls, Texas, teaching wartime medicine. Just think MASH.
*I am from Sacramento. My father was in the military, and Sacramento was the longest time we ever spent in one place. My father was stationed in Okinawa and wanted to retire stateside, so we moved to a suburb of Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, just outside of Mather AFB.
*I have been to SF many times. I love the place, but it is too cold for me. I need it to reach into the high 80s and even cross over into the low 90s every once in a while. I always wanted to live in Emeryville, Oakland, or Berkeley.
*The wall color of the 50th Anniversary location is something.
A few thoughts:
*What beautiful pictures.
*Love the Victorian homes.
*Is “incorrigible” a polite word for a whore.

what a great walk through memory lane….I moved to Sf in 1985 until ’87 and it was such an amazing place to be growing up Gay
Thanx for the trip down memory lane. I fell in love with The City in the early ‘80’s and returned many times. Want to make it one more time …..
The escalator is the now closed Nordstrom. It was my first buying job n retail.
Nordstrom! not Neimies! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your memory lane.
