Pacific Heights, you send me. You send me down a sidewalk where English bulldogs, poodles and three-legged rescues lunge in their leashes toward Alta Plaza, the emerald jewel that tops this district, its gnarled trees whipped by the wind. You send me to a corner where every afternoon a woman in her 70s boards the bus to Union Square, her black Chanel sunglasses that she bought during the Ford administration perfectly perched on her soft nose. Today she wears a lavender suit and gloves. A flurry of girls in kneesocks, holding lacrosse sticks, swirl around her.
