Why do you love your neighborhood? It's got theater! Trannies! Glide! Grit! Artisan cocktail bars! Dive bars! It's also super easy to get out of. 

Who's your favorite local character? James Sime, the owner of Isotope Comics. He's got wild hair and an even wilder wardrobe. An average night for him is drinking cocktails that are on fire while watching someone swallow a sword while they're hanging upside down from a crystal chandelier (or something).

Where's your go-to date place? Renting a paddleboat at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. Bring along a bottle of "enhanced" juice and a couple of sandwiches and you're good to go for a few hours. It's fun to play Spot the Turtle.

Where do you go to relax? The Ladies Who Scrabble Club meet-up on a sunny day at Any Park, SF.   

What would you change about SF? People pooping on the sidewalks. Not cool, people. Not cool at all.
