The precise center of San Francisco is 37° 45' 16.3502” north latitude by 122° 26' 33.1594” west longitude. This matters to me because my daughter Helen’s apartment is less than two blocks away from the two-inch brass medallion embedded into a sidewalk along the 700 block of Corbett Street near Twin Peaks marking the ‘Center of the City.’
While on a walk through the city with Helen and
Desiree, I made sure we stopped at the center of the city so the girls could
point out the precise place. Today, I am sharing the photograph I captured
there, along with a couple pictures of the city itself.

Helen has gray hair? And she’s finally put on some weight? I guess we think of the children in our lives as children forever. Somehow their gaining maturity seems wrong. It’s not wrong, but still…. I still think of Marshall and Brandon as young boys.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of the both of them at a nice place. Good work that.
Yep, our kids are getting gray hair. It's a weird thing to grasp, but here it is! And my hair has flushed to entirely white!
