I have been walking around Ocean Beach for fourteen years now, often with a neighbor who enjoys seeing the changes in the town she has inhabited for forty-four years; she often chooses a route to include a favorite detail, and I always see other things as well. The streets are engaging, but the alleys are particularly intriguing, with evolution always on display.
This material, easygoing but not casual, has accumulated into a significant archive. I think there might be a book here…oh, wait, it’s going on press next week!
