A Slow Start… But the Party Has Started!
May 24th, 2008
The Avenues Blog is finally off the ground! WOO HOO!
It’s taken a while to get this blog running because my day job (and night job and weekend job 
) is as a REALTOR in San Francisco. Most of my days are taken up with helping buyers and sellers across the City navigate the jungle that is the San Francisco real estate market. And when I’m not working with buyers and sellers, I’m writing about working with buyers and sellers and about the real estate market on my San Francisco Real Esate Blog and on The City Update™, my weekly San Francisco real estate newsletter that launches at the end of this month.
But when do get a chance to hang my hat, I hang it in the Outer Sunset. In fact, the Avenues have been my home since I was 2 years old. I grew up in the Richmond District on 25th Avenue, and then moved to the Golden Gate Heights neighborhood that borders and overlooks the Sunset/Parkside districts. Today, I live on the edge of the world on Great Highway across the street from Ocean Beach.
I love The Avenues! My neighbors are great, the fresh air is invigorating, and the fog… well, it’s actually soothing – in my humble opinion, a blanket of fog brings a sense of calm and stillness to the world, and it seems that everything has slowed down by a bit just for you.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I plan on posting on local events, local businesses, neighborhood history and real estate information throughout the Sunset and Richmond districts in San Francisco. I plan on posting here a couple of times a week – but if readers like you start providing me with input, ideas, suggestions and photos, you might see even more frequent postings here. I hope to get feedback from y’all along the way to make this blog as awesome as possible.
So please, add The Avenues Blog to your blog readeres or save us as a favorite – and don’t forget to tell a friend about us.
And while you’re waiting for the fun to really get going here, check out some of my favorite local blogs and web sites in the site bar on the right. And if you know about MORE local sites I should be aware of – send them over! I love hints, tips and suggestions!
