ode to my city

"Cities are archaeological digs, and the layers are made up not just of decaying objects but of memory."

I was taken in by that line from Gary Kamiya's "North Beach Forever" piece in Salon. Plus, he's writing about my city. While in many ways, I love New York more than any other city in the US, San Francisco is home. It will always have my heart. If you've ever captured just a glimpse of the landscape that Kamiya unwraps like a cherished memory, you'll understand why.
