Our guide to San Francisco…… CITY / REFUGE

We were recently asked by the folks at the Indy Rock Reviews website to create a guide to our fair city from any perspective of our choosing.  We decided that what immediately stands out was not simply the urban local, but also the varied and rich surroundings that can be found within earshot.  Hope you enjoy the read… especially those of you unfamiliar with this lovely place we call home!  Come and visit!
