Inside a Painted Lady

The thing about the Full House houses, is that they’re not. Or, at least most people are confused. Sure, the Tanner family picnicked in Alamo Square park, but their supposed house was actually over on Broderick. This little fact, of course, does nothing to stop “Everywhere You Look” from swelling into my mind’s surround sound whenever I approach Postcard Row. Regardless of where Danny Tanner and the gang actually lived, those six houses are by far the most famous in the city. And I get it; it’s seriously just so… postcardy up there. Despite having lived six blocks away for years now, I’m still compelled to take a picture any time I find myself in Alamo Square. You can’t help it! Every angle and time of day is like walking into a new stock photo. While the bridge clearly wins as far as SF icons go, the Painted Ladies have the added interest of people living inside of them. Try to imagine seeing pictures of your apartment everywhere; postcards and snow globes and giant lit up prints on the side of Walgreens. I’d actually love to have a little 3-D rendering of my apartment on a magnet, but imagining it on hundreds of thousands of fridges around the world is pretty intense. It’s the kind of thing I get very curious about, so I sent letters to each of the Ladies asking if I could come by and talk about what it’s like to live in a perpetual Kodak moment. <a href="https://thebolditalic.com/inside-a-painted-lady-the-bold-italic-san-francisco-c6ee8deba473">Click Here</a>
