an evening constitutional

by Paul Brown on 30 July 2004

Last night, and I walked from the house up Haight Street all the way to Golden Gate Park and back. Walking that street after 10pm is a real eye-opener. All the restaurants and shops are closed, but the bars are all open, and people are walking the streets, hanging out, smoking cigarettes, engaged in drunken conversation, escaping the close air of the bars.
