I met this parrot outside of Golden Boy tonight. His sweater looks like a beer cozy and apparently he’s got dozens of outfits! What a little fashionista.

Is Russian Hill the Rold Gold of SF?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Impressionism, Local Blog, Pretzels, Rold Gold on August 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Blogger 40 Going on 28 decided to compare San Francisco neighborhoods to Impressionist painters and/or highly-salted snacks.
