MrsAW - You are a fulltime Mom? That's not a losers job by a longshot! I hope you'll get the time and money to fulfill your dream but in the meantime don't let anyone tell you that you
are an underachiever!  Raising children to be interesting, well balanced, adults is the hardest job in the world!

I have a BA in "Liberal Studies" which in California is the prelude to getting a teaching
certificate.  I had no interest in being a teacher and ended up in that course due to
being hijacked by my adviser. ::) My minor was Anthro and I'd only need one more class for a
BS in that.

I think most apartment buildings in the US have fire escapes certainly the newer buildings in San Francisco
have them....

There's no boardwalk as such in S.F but Fisherman's wharf and the Embarcadero district
comes pretty close - It has street vendors, shops, Ghiradelli Square (the old Ghiradelli
chocolate factory which is now a mall type place) the Wax museum, and all kinds of
other businesses. They are all pretty much on the south side of the street - the north side
is the bay and various piers and docks.

Is San Francisco a good place to set an SF/Fantasy story?

You did know the San Francisco was the location for Star Fleet HQ in Star Trek, didn't you?

It's also the setting for Seananne McGuire's October Daye stories...

So yes - it's not always dark there but it's got loads of "atmosphere" even when the sun shines.

Again - Google is your friend -check San Francisco images...

I usually don't post in this thread but thought I'd add a bit more info -

1. Clubs/night clubs - North Beach area has the largest concentration of clubs and restaurants.
2. On the Pennsula south of San Francisco proper, Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno (where
the gas pipeline exploded).  In San Francisco, the Mission district and the area south of Market street
although that's becoming "Gentrified".
3. In SF itself, See 2 - Although I knew a guy who got mugged on Fisherman's Wharf. Suggest Googling
San Francisco Crime Maps for better information.
4. Marina District, Pacific Heights - although the lots in both of those areas are quite small.
Or San Bruno, Daly City and South SF also work.
5. I second City Lights Bookstore -
6. There are several shopping centers but SF doesn't really lend itself to malls.
7. Wiccan/Magic is quite common in S.F as are a number of non-Main stream religions

I'd Suggest also Googling San Francisco and looking at the combined Satellite/street map views

I'm another one who's in favor of having one slower none directed conversational thread - in my case, even though I could access chat from work, when I'm most likely to be on the forum, it's verbotten and
since I'm the enforcer I really can't pull a do as I say, not as I do. (And it wouldn't need to be archived-
when it got to the split point it could be split and the older portion dumped.)

Other than that, renaming Community to Mac's sounds like the way to go.
