The hills of San Francisco are made for biking I went for a great Saturday morning walk from one end of my city block to the other end in San Francisco. My walk was akin to a roller coaster where I went up and down numerous city-street hills. […]
A Puerto Rican in San Francisco Do you know the song by Sting called “Englishman in New York.” It’s a pop Jazz wannabe fusion melody. Admittedly, it is a little catchy but would be wholeheartedly out of place nowadays with its phrases such as “I’m a legal alien.” […]
