Coffee, Conversations and Community

           This week was different. I met a 73-year-old woman in a coffee shop, who shared so much with me. She was lovely and made me miss my family. After I said goodbye to her, I was emotional. I didn't want to say goodbye. I told her I'd come visit her again soon, and I will.
            As for discovering things about transportation in the Sunset, I didn't have much luck with finding a juicy story. Most people said the same things: parking was terrible and meters were expensive. So I went with that.
            I did find the Sunset Beacon, which is a monthly published newspaper centered on news in the Sunset. There are many community groups, too, like the Sunset Heights Association of Responsible People (S.H.A.R.P.), which meets every month, some merchant associations, and the Sunset Neighborhood Beacon Center, a wonderful center that provides free classes and support for families in the community.
