Qian and I just signed the lease on a new flat. It’s a bit further into noe valley, about 2 blocks from 24th and Castro. It’s a ground level 1 Bedroom (in a building built in 1884!) with a big kitchen, an extra room that we’ll probably use as some kind of living room, a […]
For the last 3 months or so, I’ve pretty much looked at craigslist everyday to find out about new apartments in the Mission/Noe Valley area. I guess our requirements are pretty specific, so there aren’t too many matches — maybe 1 place per week that looks interesting. Regardless, for every single one that is a […]
I had pretty much given up on txp, but then I saw this site. Not extremely interesting content-wise, but I do like the layout. I can imagine having a two column page where one column has all my short posts like this one, and another column has all my long rants.
