The Real San Francisco

<p>we had to visit the special place we called &ldquo;the Greens.&rdquo; Our friends and neighbors around the corner, David and Barry, called this area the Greens because their parents, Patrick and Deidre, referred to it as the Greens after St. Stephen&rsquo;s Green in Dublin. It&rsquo;s a park in the middle of town. Most people call it Stephen&rsquo;s Green or the Greens. A great place to walk around. We used to feed the ducks there with my Grandfather. It was fitting for all of us to call our &ldquo;giant backyard and play area,&rdquo; the Greens. If you look closely at the top left photo above, you can see where David and Barry and their parents lived.</p> <p>David and Barry often visited Ireland with their parents, and sometimes they&rsquo;d even bring back gifts. The best gift I received was from David, which surprised me. If you knew David, you would understand why. Two ceramic kitties in a basket, which I kept for many years.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/engage/the-real-san-francisco-548bf26b995e"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
