Springtime in San Francisco

Was in SF for a few days last week, and it is still one of my fave cities in the world. The air was crisp, a touch of spring and a little bite in the air, but sunshine kept me company most of the time I was there. Popped by old haunts such as Sears Fine Foods for breakfast (da best bacon crisps to date), Guitar Center (reloacted to 1645 Van Ness Ave but stocks less than what they used to) and of course Virgin Megastore (picked up Rachel Yamagata's debut - raw, tense, angry, imploring, and she's cute to boot). Skipped Banana Republic this round (although I heard they had a sale going on).
What's new in SF? A lot of reconstruction going on - some buildings left hanging onto their proud past with only their facades standing - everything thing else was demolished. But it was good to be back in SF if only fleetingly. Spring and SF.
