Well here we are, sunny San Francisco. Land of yoga mats, steep hills, and expen$ive parking tickets. Or so thats my observation a week into living here. I'll have many more observations, adventures and comparisons to my home town Portland, OR.
My goal here is to post at least weekly. I'll also be posting on the go from the good ol' handy dandy iPhone.
Now here's the scoop.
Something I miss about Portland: Beer selection! It didnt take long for me to realize that I'm not going to be able to shop for beer at my local Safeway (AKA "dateway", apparently this Marina grocery store is THE spot to get hit on and score a date). They didnt even have Widmer Brrr. but, of course they do sell liquor at Safeway here...
Something I learned about SF: BevMo! This place is amazing, its like the Fry's electronics for spirits- Toy's R Us for adults, if you will. They have entire isles dedicated to each kind of liquor. "Whats that, you need Vodka? Take a look down isles 12 and 13 please". We were in a hurry so I wansnt able to check their beer selection but rest assured I will next time. They even have a LOYALTY PROGRAM, which made me LOL at the register. Hmmm... I wonder if they need a loyalty program manager?

Hey Wes, glad you made it safe and sound. Part of me wishes I was living there in the Bay Area as well.

Loyalty Manager!! Ahhhhhh
ReplyDeleteHehe. Karen and I got lost in the aisles of BevMo once. Just stay away from the cherry vodka. Sure, mixing it with Pepsi does sound like a good idea...it's pretty much concentrated cough syrup.
ReplyDeleteHere's to your new adventure!
I don't know if you've discovered this yet, but they sell hard liquor at Costco in California. The 1.75L bottles and they have ultra-premiums as well.
