Lower Haight/Cole Valley:
Prior to this visit I had never been to this neighborhood and I can now say that is where I want my next apartment to be. Unlike any other part of San Francisco this neighborhood is so quiet and I think that is a blessing. The colors of the small houses and the way they are built looks like it came out of a television series. The signs are clean, literally they are spotless. The streets are wide and inviting and felt like an area for a family.
Castro:
To talk about the castro I need to address the core part of it that allows you to recognize where you are without reading words on a sign, but instead by reading the landscape. The huge pride flag resting in the middle of the Castro screams LOOK AT ME. The castro is an area with signs that are loud and kinky, there is a lot of sexual references throughout the signs in this neighborhood.
Dolores:
The park sits at the edge of the Castro and is a place of relaxation. The park has two sections, one where there is a play area for children and the other a play area for young adults. In the adult section there tends to be drug sale and consumption but interestingly enough nothing that put any of the children at harm. Dolores park is a peaceful area where people of all ages go to play or just relax and the landscape helps you determine which section you want to be in.
