Walked up O'Farell street from Market. Felt things change at Mason st from shopping district to Tenderloin.Sat and ate lunch at Larkin and O'Farell in children's park on a busy corner. There were no benches or places to sit. Probably for fear of the homeless sleeping there. The whole park is fenced off. People of all sorts walk by and look in.
Across the street is the New Century Theater, the sign reads:
$5 AMATEUR SHOW
EVERY SUN 9 PM
75 NAUGHTY HOTTIES
OPEN TIL 3 AND 4 AM
I feel uncomfortable and out of place. The traffic is noisy and I'm not looking forward to the walk back.
A child's laughter, however, seems to break the tension. Makes me wonder what life is like behind the facades and sidewalks that smell of piss.
