You know you've become part of an obvious trend when the New York Times writes an article about it... in my case it is my passage (“flowing in and out”, if you will) between Brooklyn and the Bay Area: the two places [described] as the ultimate “idiosyncratic communities” in the United States.
I lived in San Francisco before I moved to New York. It is still the place that I most consider home (to the extent that I am loyal to my hairdresser and have a running grocery shopping list for things from Rainbow). I thought I'd share some SF resources for surely, as my demographic peers, you have a sister or friend or cousin that is going to have a No Cal baby.
