Last week it became official: Aptonpost moved out of the TL and into the Sunset. After 10+ years of District 6 and trying to make it work, this blog's author finally gave up. I'm just like Chris Daly, except I never tried to make downtown un-livable for families; rather, I tried my best to keep the place safe and welcoming to all.
In my TL time I've witnessed fights, stabbings, public sex, outdoor shitting, people shooting up heroin, crackheads hitting the pipe, car accidents, transvestites, drag kings, weekend warrior yuppies, houses catching on fire, swat teams invading the building next to mine, outdoor drug markets, motorcycles hauling ass up the street the wrong way, homelessness, drunks, immigrant families trying to make a living, male, female, and transgender prostitution, domestic/spousal abuse, politico grandstanding, shootings, sewer explosions, police stand offs, President Obama driving past my house waving, Dick Cheney's secret service barricade blocking my street...you name it, and I think I may have witnessed it in the Tenderloin.
Damn, I'm gonna miss that place.
I've since moved into San Francisco's Sunset District. A lot more calm and a lot more safe for my kid. I live close to the park and about a 10 minute bike ride to the beach (I also bought a bike). Things are good.
With that said, I'm regrettably going to have to retire Apt On Post dot Blogspot dot Com. Oh, I'll keep it up and if TL inspiration hits I'll update it for sure. BUT, I'm most likely going to focus most of my online attention to a new blog in the future about my Sunset life (title/content to be determined).
To all and any of my regular readers, thank you for indulging me this small, insignificant online presence and please keep an eye out for my newer blog to debut soon.
